My son got accepted at UF....yay. He doesn't know yet, he's away at a soccer game in Orlando and he's too nervous to check his e-mail tonight. I'm not going to tell him, I'm going to let him find out for himself.

That is quite the honor these days. Tough to get in. Congrats on raising him right.

Thanks. Raising him was easy.... I just made sure he didn't do all the stuff I did growing up...

I love this news. Gonna repost my experience again and again because every time I read about one of these admittance letters it makes me feel good.

Congrats to all. Brings back memories. I was blessed to have all 3 of my girls get in and graduate. Almost died worrying whether or not my youngest would get in. TONS of pressure on her after her older siblings had made it. She was a "traditional" student (other two went the IB route). We did not know. Daughter wanted none of that, "Well, it'd be interesting to have one of you go to USF/UCF/FSU/FGC" bs. We were so happy. Congratulations to your son and to you. Good job.

UF will seem cheap, being instate we have Florida prepaid and Bright Futures hopefully.... his application to Duke is the one that worries me, cheap it is not...
