Thank you all so much for the PM's and replies to the thread. I've been slammed at work and haven't been able to be on here much. I wanted to give you all an interesting update. DD received an email from the one top notch D2 schools yesterday saying they were still interested in her and still have money available and she should come and stay with the team. She said she's already made up her mind and didn't want to talk about it... I of course said, you have nothing to lose by going. I've never seen her give up on anything. That was the end of the discussion but I decided to call the University to see why she had never heard from them about her application. I actually talked to the head of admissions and he apologized that the person reviewing her file was out of town for awhile and it's been held up. He had me hold while he reviewed her file and said, "well, she's been accepted but the official letter won't be mailed until next Friday." He also then said, she's also been awarded a very large academic scholarship! The scholarship is over 60% of the tuition and she could potentially get some athletic monies also because they have some left for 2016's.
My wife and I are thrilled but not sure what to do. I want DD to open the acceptance letter and experience that, but on the other hand, if she knew, she may get excited to stay overnight and workout with the team in 2 weeks. We'd also need to get a hotel for a couple nights also. That's where we are at. Any thoughts?
That's awesome, congratulations! Girls change their mind a lot at that age. When I first brought up the idea of DD attending a camp in Iowa her words.. "No way, all they have is corn there". Today she's loving life in Ames IA,
I wish you and your DD lots of luck!
