<p>Thanks for the tip, D’s Mom. If I read correctly they can’t determine anything re merit/financial aid without our 2009 taxes.</p>
<p>Guess I’ll have to send those in ASAP.</p>
<p>“Denied admission”</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>Just wanted to say that we didn’t have info on financial aid an hour ago, but we do now (after clicking “services”), so anyone waiting may want to check.</p>
<p>I got my acceptance package today! I was SO happy - until I saw the tentative financial aid offer…</p>
<p>I have no idea how to log on. I don’t even have a PioneerWeb account! I never got any information about that.</p>
<p>Ditto Proletariat. Does this mean we are rejected?</p>
<p>No, because even the rejected people have these accounts! Plus, with a 36 ACT and fairly good accomplishments elsewhere (Intel STS, etc.), I didn’t think I’d be rejected. Maybe they rejected me for my obscene arrogance in assuming I wouldn’t get rejected. 
That would be truly sad, although I admit it would be kind of justified…</p>
<p>I also got email confirmation that they received my entire application, so that isn’t the issue.</p>
<p>I think a lot of people’s PioneerWeb information got sent to their spam folders. I have Gmail, and that’s what happened with me. You should both check!</p>
<p>my parents cleared out our spam a week ago. :(</p>
<p>to doughmom - Thank you so much! I never noticed the “services”…btw, it’s great, cos I reveived almost 35 grand, which means that I will be able to go there (probably…)!</p>
<p>My log-in email came from Nettie Vaverka at <a href=“mailto:VAVERKA@grinnell.edu”>VAVERKA@grinnell.edu</a></p>
<p>So you might want to start there, toshi</p>
<p>Anyways, I’m really surprised, because I was told that Grinnell is not very generous and it really doesnt look like that…</p>
<p>D was offered merit scholarship, a very generous one! Unexpected, as we don’t qualify for need based aid. This is a first among all the schools which accepted her, and makes it very, very hard to consider the others (including Carleton, Bryn Mawr, WashU). Thanks, Grinnell!</p>
<p>S was offered a nice combination of need and merit scholarships.</p>
<p>good new for our S. makes grinnell very hard to pass up. thank you grinnell!</p>
<p>Could you please write your kids’ GPA and SAT, just to have an idea what kind of students get merit scholarship. Thank you.</p>
<p>SAT: 2140
ACT: 33
SAT II: Math I, 720; Lit 740
GPA: W 4.2, U 4.0
NM Finalist, enough but not a lot of AP, the usual other stuff…(did not win Siemens or co-author any important legislation, though).</p>
<p>
Yeah, that. If it got sent to my spam, the mail is long gone - my spam clears itself out every 30 days. Am planning to write to someone.</p>
<p>But is there any way to find out our user name and/or password by ourselves?</p>
<p>For example, some colleges had my real name (like: HLewis) as the user and birthday as the password. Is it like this for Grinnell?</p>
<p>Thanx inatlga.
I got very similar stats, guess they probably think that my need-based scholarhip is high enough :-D</p>
<p>Ds is in with good merit/FA, he tells me. I haven’t looked at that yet.</p>
