Not sure if this is the right forum or not but my 26 yr old son is about to go from home cook to student cook..Lord willing and after his admission test tomorrow he will begin the Baking and Pastry program at Sullivan Jan 3rd.
This has been is dream to attend Sullivan since he was a child so he is very close...please say a little prayer for him tomorrow. Thanks

Bev, as you may know, I work there and am also a graduate. Let me assure you and your son that the admissions test will be no barrier to his entry...basically they are taking a reading to see what level class of the academic requirements he will need to start on. In the cooking classes, everyone starts at the same level. In other words, they will use the tests to determine which math and english class levels he'll need to take. Believe me, he will be in a kitchen on January 3rd if he wants to be! Tell him to come introduce himself to me next month.

Congrats to him Bev.... and from one Mother to another...... Brag on! A mother's love is all encompassing and so unconditional, it is beautiful to see it come to fruition in our children's success.

Thanks so much for the encouraging words.I went with Matt,my son, on his tour and everyone was so positive and really seemed happy to be there, from students to staff. I will keep giving updates as his journey progresses.

Congrats to your son! That is so exciting!! I'm sure he'll have a lot of fun!

Just a brief update ...Marsha you were right, no problem with the test even qualified for some scholarship money. Matt got his student ID and class schedule today.

Standing Ovation!

Just now saw this Bev. Many congrats to your son! I am always thrilled to hear of someone talented getting in there and keeping the craft of baking alive.
Bake on young man, bake on!

Thanks, Matt is heading out this morning for the first of 3 finals. One today, Wed and Thurs. and then he is done. Graduation is not til October 12th hopefully by then he will be working, he likes the more commercial baking, not into the cake decorating. He loved doing the breads and when he had his internship at the bakery and had to do like 50 crème brulee...go figure
