Well today was the last college decision Doodles was waiting for – it was also her first and only rejection. Despite it being a great college, she wasn’t really interested in it. The rejection still stung. Telling her long distance made it worse too.
So now we wait for the financial aid packages from the 6 colleges she was accepted to: Iowa State, Auburn, Univ. of South Carolina, Georgia Tech, Tulane, and LSU. She has always favored Georgia Tech since our college visits last year, but of course they are the only school out of the bunch that didn’t give her a scholarship and also the second most expensive tuition.
The other problem she seems to be having is deciding on what she wants to major in. She used to want math, then briefly considered international business (hence the application to SC), and then today, out of the blue, she said she wants to major in marine biology because that is where her love is. She has never ever mentioned marine anything before so it came as a big surprise!?!? I guess while I am waiting for the financial aid, she can be figuring out what she wants to do with her life.
