    Thanks. Confusing my dates -- did I mention the newborn in the house -- not enough sleep to go around in these parts.

    We got the confirmation we were complete on May 3rd, for evaluation in the May group.

    I think the teacher application was sent in late on Sunday, May 1.

    Congratulations, lucky_mom!!! I couldn't be any happier for you. In fact, I can't think of a single thing that could make me happier right now.

    Did you give them both email addresses? My husband and I both received the email individually...

    I don't have the application with me. I don't remember. This is literally going to wind up killing me.

    Well, I certainly hope that's not true!! Remember, this too shall pass.

    I can't believe what just see in the email like seconds ago.

    My DD10 is accepted to the program!!!

    I applied last year but declined with only IQ scores and achievement test scores but they asked me to re-apply with portfolios within 6 months. Fell short on achievement test scores.
    So I started to collect as much as I can within a year for her portfolios and re-apply in May.
    I couldn't be happier...

    Then you are probably right about being the last one in -- I thought my 11:45 pm on 4/30 was late. I'm glad that they didn't hold the Sunday, May 1st part against you!
