One step closer

Welp - we applied to college(s) last night. Whew.

Ferris worked on the final edits of his essay all day. It is suberb. (edited by our genius daughter ...and then edited by my genius wife. I have since hidden all the red pens in the house - ok fine, they did make a couple nice suggestions)
But, it is so far from over.

Today he meets with ‘Guidance Counselor’ at school to put the 'Package' together.
This is all the supporting information that you can't really do online such as GPA, SAT scores, letters of recommendations etc.
Then the ‘Guidance Counselor’ sends the 'Package' to the selected ‘Schools of Higher Learning’.
The selected ‘Schools of Higher Learning’ receive the 'Package' and sends back our handy self addressed, stamped postcards to assure us they have received our 'Package' .
Then they review the 'Package'.
The ‘Schools of Higher Learning’ quickly realize what a genius Ferris is and eagerly reply to the 'Package' with their own ‘Package’.
We then receive the 'Package' from the ‘Schools of Higher Learning’ with heaps of good news and flattering commentary.
Wherein we all celebrate and go directly to Bed Bath and Beyond for dorm room supplies.
