Accepted!!! Wish us luck. Update!!!

My baby boy has been accepted to our top choice school!!! He's going into kindergarten in the fall. I'm so happy for him. I should know about the financial side in a few short (more like long? lol) weeks.
I just submitted our financial aid application this afternoon. Wish us luck that we get enough aid to send him to this amazing school.
Update:  Our aid report came back and our expected financial contribution is within our budget!!!  If the school is able to grant scholarship for at least 50% of his estimated need, he WILL be attending this school in the fall because we WILL figure out how to cut our budget to cover the other 50% (in addition to our current expected contribution)!  I'm trying not to get too excited, but the school has an excellent endowment and ATTEMPTS to meet 100% of student need.  Now, excuse me while I go pinch myself because I cannot believe this is real!
*note: This is a school I BEGGED my mom to send me to and she would not even look into it.  It is beyond perfect for my little guy and I just cannot believe that we are so close to getting him there.*

Yeah! Good for him. How exciting for you!!

[mom2ljh]

Yes, so exciting. We have a few more wrinkles to iron out but hopefully by the end of the month we will know where he's going.

what kind of school is it?

[mom2ljh]

It's a PreK-12 college preparatory school. It's very difficult to get in beyond the elementary level. Getting him in at the K level gives him a spot all the way through high school (unless he seriously messes up).

That's awesome. I need to find a school like that when DS is older.

Pinch me because I must be dreaming!
