Maybe your suggestions helped this year's visit. I hope it's the right match for my daughter too, and it only will be it she gets some hefty scholarships ;) Hope your daughter is happy with her college choice.

This time I did a double take and read again to make sure, that OUR Roanoke College is the end of the college quest. I say that because I "made" my daughter go to one of last year's prospective student days and it was SO HORRIBLE we left early. Maybe it was a bad day, but absolutely everything that could go wrong did. <br /><br /Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968637002477937139.post-53740882121569348442011-08-01T16:28:30.427-04:002011-08-01T16:28:30.427-04:00Thanks for the comments!

It would be a win-win for Roanoke college and Marie. From what I understand not many students receive a 5 on the AP US History Exam ;)<br /><br />Other colleges must realize she'd be a prime candidate because the offers keep coming...I Elenahttp://mselenaeousrants.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968637002477937139.post-3112390519306386882011-07-29T08:22:34.234-04:002011-07-29T08:22:34.234-04:00Glad she found a school she likes.

They do me, anyway.<br /><br />I don't know where you bank, but if you bank with a small bank, don't overlook them as a financing source. The large ones are useless but the smaller, hometown banks can be quite helpful.CountryDewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243893531509380824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968637002477937139.post-64022042047311937382011-07-28T08:46:19.774-04:002011-07-28T08:46:19.774-04:00Of course you knew I'd come right back here th...Of course you knew I'd come right back here the moment I read "Cheryl, you were right." Everyone wants to be right once in awhile (and told!) don't they? <br /><br />I'm so glad you both like Roanoke College. Marcy was never sorry she graduated from there with her bachelor of science.

I would think with the economy, private schools like that are trying harder than ever to recruit high quality students like your daughter.Slamdunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087161268629251860noreply@blogger.com
