December Decisions

What a month. A new semester started at school and Ally struggled a little to get her motivation and drive back after pushing so hard Fall term.

But gradually college acceptances came in:

Roger Williams University YES 

Endicott College YES

Fordham YES

University of Rhode Island YES

then after an agonizing few days Ally finally heard from her top choice

Syracuse University YES

Then before she could withdraw her application she heard from

Marist College YES

Wow. 6 acceptances!!! Ally went ahead and accepted Syracuse and emailed the other 5 and withdrew her application and contacted UConn and UMass Amherst to tell them she no longer wanted to be considered for admission. 

She did it. She was so happy and so relieved. 

So happy after opening that message!


She be joining the Orange community in August 2025.

Telling all the other schools no.

Marist sent their decision in the postal mail! 

Snowy night.
