Julia, we wish your daughter MANY blessings in this process! After seeing the numbers, both my husband and I sit back and wonder how our applications would fare these days!!

Assure your daughter she's a phenomenal woman however the process turns out. We'll pray for success--she'd be an awesome beacon on campus!! To God be all glory and honor and praise!

I am praying for my daughter who is one of the applicants as well. She was led to apply there also thanks to you wonderful, intelligent and faithful women on this blog.

Our amazing new bishop is also a Princeton grad! Bishop Barres was at the March on Friday as well. What a great witness!
