Colleges and Universities A-Z Carleton College

<p>bethievt,</p>

<p>We are in Michigan. The post mark was 3/23. </p>

<p>Kind of mixed news here today. We understand that the $2,500 National Merit Letters went out last week and no letter here. Since Michigan is not a sponsor University, we were kind of hoping for that one. Wouldn't make any difference everywhere else because they are all sponsor Universities.</p>

<p>You win some you lose some.</p>

<p>In the end, it's all coming down to $ for us. In at Carleton, Grinnell, UChicago and Michigan Honors. I'm sure it will be Michigan due to substantial difference in $, although if a miracle occurred I'm sure DS would choose Carleton.</p>

<p>I'll think good thoughts for you.</p>

82

<p>Eek! I've been accepted!</p>

<p>I wish I had more financial aid, though.</p>

83

<p>rejected (nc)</p>

<p>oh well, it's too damn cold up there anyway</p>

84

<p>Last year 4450 applied and 1405 were accepted (32%). 1305 were offered places on the waiting list (29% of those who applied!), and 361 accepted a place on the waiting list. Of those 361, 10 were admitted (less than 3%). So it looks like it is relatively easy to get on the waiting list, but very difficult to go from the waiting list to getting admitted.</p>

85

<p>I was accepted...very happy.
I am a William Carleton Scholar too....anyone know what that really means!
congrats to other acceptees!</p>

86

<p>has nobody from California heard anything yet?? i think that means I wait another day.... oh no...</p>

87

<p>Accepted! Got my packet in the mail today. Still undecided as to whether i will attend.</p>

88

<p>accpeted! my mom called me at school. I'm excited but also not sure if i'll attend.</p>

89

<p>accepted!! I live in maine </p>

<p>their aid package was very appealing to me as well...</p>

<p>oh choices haha:)</p>

90

<p>Congratulations and condolences all around!</p>

<p>My son got the big envelope today!! He hasn't opened it...he's "striking the set" of the play he directed, but I am totally excited and happy!</p>

91

<p>I got in too :)</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone else that got in. I don't know where I'll end up, but Carleton's a fun place and stuff.</p>

92

<p>Congratulations! I hope y'all can attend one of the accepted students weekends - Carleton students do a great job of convincing prospies to attend. Still fondly remember my daughter calling me and telling me she bought the sweatshirt.</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, does the letter say how many applications were received?</p>

93

<p>My son was struck by his visit in many ways, but one of them was hearing, "Come to Carleton" from every direction.</p>

94

<p>my friend got in!!</p>

95

<p>waitlisted :) At least I wasn't rejected.. I guess</p>

96

<p>I was waitlisted but received acceptance letters from two other schools at the same time, so there wasn't any sting to it. I have no hard feelings for those of you who were accepted - I would just like to congratulate you myself.</p>

<p>So, congratulations!</p>

97

<p>Me and my friend were admitted today! I got full tuition and she got only $4,000 in loan! We live in Texas for those of you who also live here! YAY!</p>

98

<p>I got in from Texas too :-D</p>

99

<p>Nice to see other Texans. Especially since practically everyone here seems to go to UT-Austin.
=)
What part of Texas are you guys from?</p>

<p>I'm from Houston.</p>

100

<p>DS was waitlisted. Congratulations to all accepted! I am happy for all of you.</p>
