He's heard back from his two safety schools (Pitt and Penn State, both yesses) but didn't apply anywhere early decision, because that locks you into a school, and Responsible Kid is Responsible and doesn't want to get locked into a school that doesn't offer him a great financial package when we might need him to go to a less expensive alternative. He knows the score.
So we won't hear back from anywhere else until March. We're on pins and needles! His first choice is your alma mater -- Berkeley! Followed by University of Texas at Austin and then by University of Michigan. Next, University of Wisconsin at Madison, and then Case Western. Pitt next, and then Penn State last.
How did I not know you're Jewish?
Also, I am just terrible at deflecting guilt trips. Just plain bad. I must have a birth defect.
Finally, even if I send Adam alone, I still have to send him with a dessert. Which I don't have. Oops.
