So glad this worked out for you and DD. It is always challenging to know how much to say and when. We have learned the hard way to keep info like this within the immediate family until the final decision has been made - and it is tricky with younger kids. We want to have honest communication with our DS, but we also want to make sure there is some restraint in terms of communication with other families. So hard to figure out some times.

Side point, how many of you have deferred to your children re: subject vs. grade acceleration, etc. My feeling is that ultimately it is a grown up decision, and that while I am interested in my DS's opinion, the weight of th decision is on the adults. But how does IAS handle this sort of thing??

Anyway, back to the important bit - congrats!! Cat
