<p>Yay! Congratulations Dima! W&L is so awesome, I don't know how I'm going to decide between it and Dartmouth, Swarthmore or other schools if I get in to all.</p>
<p>Hey, Just got my Letter too. Took so bloody long because of the distance. Hehe. Was really really happy till I came across the financial aid package. Real bad aid. Hey, it's weird that you did not get the whole package together. I'll probably be appealing bout the aid thing. </p>
<p>Anyway, does anyone here know how many percent of the entire student body are international students?</p>
<p>And Dima, Congratz!!!!Class of 2009, here we come! hehe. Oh, btw: do you know what's the specific address for the bank draft when i sent the deposit? It wasn't given...weird...</p>
<p>I'm really annoyed that I didn't get the fin aid info with it, I think it was cause there was some unclear info about my mom's job, we got a call from the fin aid office on Wed., so I'll have to see, I don't want to send in my deposit until I see it so I can get a chance to call them and complain first if it's not enough.</p>
<p>I'm sort of confused about your question? I guess they just want us to send in a $500 check made out to Washington and Lee University with the form, no?
We send it to the Office of Admissions, the address is on top of the form.</p>
<p>Do you have AIM or MSN? I'd like to chat about the financial aid package they gave you. Plus, it would be nice to get to know someone I will be going to school with, especially at a school as small as W&L.</p>
<p>spkelly, I'm sorry your initial aid offer hasn't seemed to work out. International applicants have their work cut out for them if they need aid at American colleges.</p>
<p>Approximately one month left until we find out whether or not we're GWS finalists! I kind of have a really bad feeling about getting it, though, because I don't know how I'm ever going to be able to choose between W&L, Dartmouth, Swarthmore or Harvard. I think, however, that I know which of the two schools I really prefer (I listed them first, after all...) and I'll do what's right. Plus, at this time, the ball's not really in my court when it comes to H, D and S.</p>
<p>Yeap, i have MSN. But i doubt we'll be able to chat as my night is your day, and vice versa. Yup, about 12 or 13 hours difference. You can email me though at <a href="mailto:kel_splai@yahoo.co.uk">kel_splai@yahoo.co.uk</a></p>
<p>Dima, I guess my problem is about the same as yours. I NEED them to revised the financial aid package before i can fully commit myself to w&L. </p>
<p>Willywonka, nice nick! I used to love the book and movie...but it's been years since i last read the book. Anyway, yea, i really can't wait to find out about GWS. I wish the decision will come out earlier. hehe. Hopefully you'll decide to attend W&L as well, but it'll definitely be tough to turn down an offer from dartmouth. Great list you have there. </p>
<p>It'll be way cool if we all get the GWS! :)</p>
<p>But only 75 people get invited, let alone chosen for it! Ahh! That would be really cool, though. I hope your aid packages work out. For domestic accepted students, W&L met 99% of aid last year, so it looks hopeful for Dima.</p>
<p>The great thing about ED for you, spkelly, is that now that you're accepted, they have to do everything they can to make sure that you can attend.</p>
<p>Wow, that's great, Dima. For domestic students, though, I really wouldn't have worried about W&L financial aid. It's as close to being 100% as any school is.</p>
<p>I thought about it today for a few minutes, and I can't believe how much I want to be a GWS finalist, if not just for the chance to spend three more days in Lexington. Oh Lord!</p>
