yeah i'm actually pretty excited for him. He "got accepted" about 6 weeks ago but was waiting for me (or some grandparent) to break down and pay for him to go to Colorado. When he finally realized there was no trust fund to tap into, he decided App was a better idea than taking out $100k of student loans for undergrad. Last week he was ready to accept and realized that the "congratulations" email actually said "congratulations, you're on the wait list." (LOLOLOL)
So after freaking out and thinking he might have to take a year off, the official acceptance came through a couple of days ago and we paid his deposit last night. After all the uncertainty, he's now genuinely excited to be going to App, so it actually worked out really well.
