The decision was made much easier with the result of this morning's interview - she has been awarded quite a generous scholarship. I can welcome her to the ACC - although she won't be at Duke.
Hey, Lavabe - has Legacy Lady determined where she will be in the fall? As I recall, you mentioned an acceptance to the school where Elizabeth will be going.
So, here's what happened:
1) There were a number of acceptances from places which shall remain nameless, except there was one that has a used car salesman as a basketball coach. I think nothing says yUcK better than the day when LL received a package from said school, and it was A COUPLE OF WILDCAT BEACH TOWELS AND SUNGLASSES, enticing her to come. Yeah... no letter from potential major departments. Way to push athletics instead of academics!
2) Other schools that shall remain nameless had inefficient financial aid processes that wound up rendering these two schools out of the running. I mean literally, inefficient forms and process took the schools out of the running.
3) DePaul (Honors): It came down to this school and another one. Substantial merit/scholarship/financial aid, but initially more expensive. Responded within 23 hours of submitting the financial aid appeal, and came up with a big offer... I think they wanted her. Academics leaned in DePaul's favor. Slam dunk decision.
I am now a DePaul Dad!!
