Our oldest son, Jason has been accepted to go to college at all three of his choices:
 
1. University of California at Berkeley
 
2. University of California at San Diego
 
3. University of California at Santa Cruz
 
Berkeley is the #1 public university in the country. San Diego is #7 and Santa Cruz is #26.
 
We're very proud and excited for him. What a day!!

Be proud of yourself as well. That's no small accomplishment. It takes dedicated parents, which you obviously are.  :#

AB no problem. We've saved for his education.
 
Wavery thanks for the kind words. My son worked very hard.

That's Awesome!  Proud you should be!  Um, how come he chose all the party ones, heehee just kidding!  Santa Cruz is lovely, but not as nice as Berkley, of course SD would  be close for mommy!

What's he majoring in?

Dave:

That is good stuff.  I don't know if he's taking poll, but because of the following reasons:

1.  It'll be in auspices of the NNC chapter
2.  He can always visit and eat at Larry's and Rita's
3.  Surfing is great
4.  It's one hell of a party school

He should go to UC Santa Cruz.  Yay!

Oh, I almost forgot.

5.  You get some fyne edumacation to butt, I mean boot.

Congradulations!!


Now,.....time to plan for grad school!

[griffsmom]

Thanks for the kind posts, everyone! We are so proud of Jason that we could just burst. Jason is a great kid--respectful, obedient, loving, hard-working, handsome, kind, smart--I could go on and on. He's not a camper, though--he takes after his mom on that one.
 
He is a very talented artist and musician and wants to do something in those two areas. At this point, I think he is leaning toward Sant Cruz, as he likes the smaller, more intimate environment it has compared to Berkeley, but Berkeley is Berkeley and it's hard to not go there if you've been accepted. I think he was just slightly hoping that he wouldn't get in at Berkeley so that his decision-making process would be easier. I know he'll pick the school that is right for him. I just want him to be happy and have a career where he doesn't have to live hand-to-mouth.
 
Surf--good to see you posting!! We've missed you and all the NNC-ers!!! You're right; Jason will get a "fyne edjumacation" at any of those schools. I just hope he doesn't learn and/or do the things I did in college. My mom would kill me if she knew what I was really up to during those four years. Let's not even talk about grad school. I'm pleading the Fifth to anything more than that. :yikes:
