Way to Go, Toby!

The college search and application season is finally over! What a wonderful experience. We are so thankful for everything Toby has accomplished in his first 18 years of his life. It was a journey. I remember how much he struggled to decide a major last fall. Now I am so glad to see how confident he is in what he wants to do. We all learn a lot in this process about college, but most importantly, we learn a lot about our Toby. What a gifted child. We are so proud of him!
He has decided to study Biomedical Engineering. So all the schools we applied are top university in Engineering. I was selfish not letting him to apply any schools in California because I just can't imagine him being so far away from home. I would miss him too much!!! Altogether he applied 8 schools. He was accepted into 6 of them including Johns Hopkins University, University of Michigan, Purdue University, Rose Holman, University of Minnesota and Michigan Technology University. Most of these schools offered him a good amount of scholarship. Deciding on which school to go did not come easy because they are all very good schools. In the end, University of Michigan becomes the winner! It offers an overall package that meets both our financial and his academic needs.
I am so excited and proud of him!
