Ashley just got accepted to University Of Pennsylvania!!!!  Yay for her.  I need to thank BrightSpot as she held my hand the whole way.  Many thanks to Storm for his prayers, icekid, belle, Mara, mrssalvo, Nan etc.... She found out online!!!  OMG champagne will be flowing.  I bought her red roses with a blue bow, Penns colors. 

ETA Demelza too.  Sorry I typed in such a hurry, I forgot to mention you.  My bad!!!

YAY!!!!!! 

Oh Lisa, I'm so happy for Ash...and for you! (I'm literally grinning from ear to ear!)

I think she's going to be really happy at Penn & how nice that she doesn't have to worry about college admissions for the rest of her senior year!  (and to get in your first choice school to boot!)

I hope you guys are enjoying that champagne...you deserve it!    Please give her a big hug for me.  (Well, maybe you don't have to tell her it's from me as she doesn't know me...)

Thanks for the sweet comment.  I'm glad I could help.   

(Though I have to admit I felt SO old today when I realized that she was finding out about her acceptance via the internet, rather than the post!  Was it really that long ago that I went through this?  )

Have a great night & best of luck to Ash on her AP exam tomorrow...

Tears of joy are flowing.  So many people applied early around here so we were very nervous.  She saw this thread and said PS was the best.  She never says that, haha.  Thanks guys!!!  Off to have some bubbly!!!

Well, Donald Trump is a UPenn graduate, and he can afford pretty much the whole ocean!

She didn't apply to the Wharton School but will major in economics and take many classes at Wharton.  My dad went to Wharton.  Tough school.  All Trumps kids went to Wharton.

Warren Buffet attended Wharton School but didn't graduate there.  Still, between he and Trump this is a good omen for Ashley.

Say Kaleigh, perhaps there are many shiny and blingful mother's days in your future!

Congratulations to you and Ashley! It is always so exciting to see them get into the schools they wanted - when my kids were accepted at their schools I think I was as excited if not more so than they were.

This will make your Christmas complete - enjoy!!!!

awww Thanks Sundial, flopkins and MGR.  She has wanted this school for a long time.  She has lots of friends there  and really wanted this school with all her being.  It is a beautiful campus, and only 20 minutes from home.  Maybe she will come home and do her laundry, haha.  I can hope!!!

Thanks Angel.  She works for a store in Nantucket during the summers and a bunch of  the girls go to Penn.  She has spent many weekends visiting her friends and fell in love with the school.  That's the story.  She will also be a member of Penn's womens golf team.
