Honestly, I went with her because I know how administrative stuff works on campuses...

if I hadn't, I lay 80-20 odds that someone in admissions would have magically come up with "the form" that a parent would NEED to sign. (In other words, having to bring it home to us would have meant not getting it settled yesterday-- which, remember, the honors college said was the magical silver bullet to fixing this.) Either that or they'd have decided to tweak some kind of wording on her letter from us, requiring an initialing of changes. KWIM?

We discussed it, and given those odds and what she had been told on the phone, it was necessary for a parent to go with her.
