Another University heard from...

And another school weighs in for Jacob. He was accepted at Clark University (http://www.clarku.edu/) and will travel out there in a couple weeks to interview for a scholarship.

Jake thinks he will relish the "67.6 inches of snow" Clark gets annually and that they advertise on their website. He applied there because of their reputation for involving undergrads in research (affiliated with Woods Hole...) and their 5 year Bachelor's Masters program (5th year free for applicants!).

Will keep you posted...

Could Willamette be the one?

Jacob got his first fat envelope from an admissions office yesterday. Willamette University [http://www.willamette.edu/] promised Jake a response in under three weeks, and they kept their word.

This will be a busy winter for all: Mel and Stu have to navigate financial aid forms, Jake has a final decision to make, and Quincy plans to have contractors start busting down extraneous walls for the new suite she is planning with the empty room next door. She has graciously offered Jacob the guest room while he is in town...
