Congratulations, indeed!

Thanks! Plan on depositing to Grinnell, and even if my waitlists pan out I don’t know if I’d choose them over Grinnell.

I had heard it is harder for transfer students to get financial aid. Is that a myth?

You need to look at each school to see how they address FA for transfers. Many schools are need aware.

The most highly selective colleges commonly offer financial assistance to transfer students equivalent to that offered to first-years. Even if a school is “need aware” for transfer students with respect to admissions, they nonetheless may offer to meet the full, demonstrated financial need for all accepted transfer applicants.
