Congrats to Cordelia on having a solid choice college admission in her pocket! (We're going through the college rigamarole with O this year, and I'm very jealous that you're so much farther ahead.)
We're assuming that Skyline released Cordelia's transcript to Eastern because, otherwise, the admissions office let her in based entirely on her self-reported GPA which seems improbable.
It may well be different with your schools, of course, and I'm guessing admission this early is not through normal channels anyway, but in our experience, actually, admission IS offered based on the self-reported GPA in the application, and then you just have to send the transcript as part of your registration paperwork to the school you enroll in. Of course, if it turns out you lied about having a 4.0, they can rescind admission. (It does make sense, because people apply to dozens of schools, and it's a lot easier for the high schools to send a transcript to the one place the student will end up going to vs the 20 they're applying to or whatever.)
Also, FAFSA, oy. I need to sit down and do that, too...
