    DAvidson Institute received my DD's application today. They emailed us informing that they had received the complete application but also added-

    "One letter of recommendation, from XXX, arrived to complete XXX application. Though XXX�s application is now considered complete, additional letters of recommendation can be added to it at any time and I will notify you of their arrival as they are received."

    Does it mean we have to send in some more recommendations?

    You don't have to add more letters of recommendation but you may if you wish. We sent two but one is all they ask for.

    How much time does it usually take for them to get back to you about the application?

    Thanks Dottie. You are somewhat of a legend here. I am amazed that you still remember from my 2-3 week old post that she had good scores in VCI and Explore.

    Any kind of reassurance coming from you is heartening.

    Thanks

    Hi Everyone

    We just received an email from DITD that my DD10 has been accepted to DYS program. The acceptance letter is going to follow within a week. They have asked us to fill up the enrollment packet and send it back to them.

    We are so thrilled.

    Thanks

    I don't know anything about it. Probably when we send the enrollment packet back to them and DD is formally enrolled, we may be informed about it.

    Thanks
