Grad School Update-Decision Soon!

For curious family and friends, our current standing on grad school admission is as follows:

UNC-CH: No
Pittsburgh: No
UT: Yes (PhD-no funding)
Rice University: No
U of Houston: Yes (Masters-no funding)
USC: Wait List
FSU: Wait List
W. Mich: No
Va Tech: Wait List
Texas A&M: ?? (the last hold out)

We will wait until April 15th to hear from any schools that may offer Reid a late acceptance letter.  If nothing changes it looks like we will be heading to....Houston University! Go Cougars!

Reid got offered acceptance to their master's program earlier this month.  His old prof from Chapel Hill told him that he believes Houston has the best master's of modern philosophy in the county.  This news as well as UH's placement record has Reid very excited to attend the program.  He's taking all the wait list notices and the few rejections with glee as they signify one step closer to being able to say yes to Houston's program.  While it's hard for me to understand all the excitement about 6 more years of school (ugh!) I'd like to think he's feeling something like I did trying on lovely wedding dresses.  He's ready to say, "yes" to the dress...errr....school!

Guess I better get rid of my wool sweaters and get ready to beat the heat!
