My daughter Jessica has finished all 9 of her college applications:
hooray! She applied for admission to: Brown, Carnegie Mellon (& Conservatory), Lawrence (& Conservatory), MIT, Oberlin (& Conservatory), Princeton, Rice, Rochester, and Smith. This took an astonishing amount of work. We still need
to send audio CDs to the schools which will accept them but those
don’t need to be mailed until after Christmas. Jessica is also still
working with the alumni interviewers to schedule meetings. She
finally had her interview with Smith yesterday.
Next steps: The regional auditions
for Carnegie Mellon and Oberlin will be held early in January 2007.
If they don’t ask her to audition, she has not been accepted to those
conservatories. Most of the rest of the schools will tell us their
decisions in March 2007.
Jessica was under two restrictions until the applications were finished:
her college counsellor at school said no reading novels that weren’t schoolwork, and I said no scheduling holiday events. As soon as part 2 of the Brown application went in, Jessica immediately started reading
2 books and scheduled 5 events:
- A trip to the Dicken’s Christmas Fair
- Christmas carolling on the cable car in San Francisco with her Grandmother
- Baking fruitcake with her Grandmother (with a sleepover)
- Her 18th birthday party (at our house)
- A New Year’s Eve party (at our house)
Our party girl!
