And in today’s mail…
We have a T-shirt!
Yep, a T-shirt from U Pitt Honors College for Boy. They have not only admitted Boy, but they want him in the honors program.
and…..
They’ve given him an $10,000 academic scholarship (out of state tuition is about $22,000) and have asked him to apply for a special Chancellor’s Scholarship (Full tuition, room and board and fees for 4 years - and money for books and a study abroad scholarship)
The application is a bear though with 3 long essays on topics that aren’t easy. Oh well, he wants to do it.
And in other news, we slapped some grades on the transcript for Purdue and then emailed them a pdf of it - and they are happy. How happy we’ll see.
