Whoosh!
Through the rain, we have arrived at Penn for 3 days of festivities designed to convince accepted students to choose Penn. It's ironic - the kids spend months working on applications and praying to be accepted, then they are accepted - here and elsewhere - so the tables are turned and the schools are courting them! It's really a kick.
Even better: Penn added an extra preview day for the students of color, and seeing throngs of students of color in the room, talking with current students about Engineering, Pre-med, International Studies, etc... very nice for we who are from Minnesota, where students of color rarely fill a room! ;) Especially for my kid, who goes to a very white school, it was fun to see...
