<p>Last year, some students got early admissions letters in late Feb-early March. I wonder if anyone has received gotten an early letter yet?</p>
<p>I was wondering the same thing. It was an incredible thrill and relief when my son got his early write on Feb 26, 3 years ago.</p>
<p>Have not heard anything…waiting…</p>
<p>Well most people won’t hear until April 1st or a little before that. It’s such a long wait.</p>
<p>LOL…I wish I hadn’t read this thread. Now I’m going to be anxiously checking the mailbox every day!</p>
<p>xD</p>
<p>Anyone has received letter?</p>
<p>I think if you haven’t heard yet, you will hear closer to April 1. No need to be anxious!</p>
<p>Nothing here, except am unsolicited booklet about athletics. Sports was a recurring theme in ds’s app, so I doubt that was an accident, making me hopeful. But I’m trying not to read too much into it. </p>
<p>Or did everyone get one of those?</p>
<p>No decision here either, but about two weeks ago son received a nice email from a student working in admissions offering to answer questions about Grinnell. About the same time we got another email from financial aid asking about something on our forms. I’d like to think these are good signs, but then again it’s all just reading tea leaves till an actual decision arrives.</p>
<p>Waiting for Grinnell…</p>
<p>S also got the athletic brochure. Though athletics aren’t his major EC, they do play a big part in his life and hopes to be on the team at Grinnell.</p>
<p>I also received the athletics brochure. I’ve been in contact with the tennis coach, but I don’t think that’s why I got it; I think they sent it to all of their applicants who play sports.</p>
<p>I’m not a sporty person and I didn’t get that brochure, so yeah it’s probably something for the sport kids. Or maybe because I’m international.</p>
<p>I don’t think they’ll release decisions until they’re done reading all of them, and I heard they’re in the final stages of reading applications.</p>
<p>I’m so excited though, I love Grinnell <3</p>
<p>So what’s the consensus? Did Grinnell just not do early writes this year?</p>
<p>Doesn’t look like it.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think maybe not, because I haven’t heard of anyone on CC getting one.</p>
<p>This wait is nerve-racking!!</p>
<p>I think I am about going crazy, so anxious…</p>
<p>Hang in there everyone. Good luck everyone!!! Grinnell is an awesome school!</p>
<p>Only 18 days to go!</p>
<p>Where else have you guys applied? Where does Grinnell fall on your list of favourites?</p>
<p>For financial reasons, my S mostly applied to state schools (UC Berkeley, UCLA), but he would much prefer going to a LAC. If merit aid comes through, he would be delighted to go to Grinnell.</p>
