<p>Extra Notes
Moving has been a bit tough to get traction. Faced some financial hardship and things. Will note to colleges
My counselor and I have been trying to weight my classes and make sure my transcript is accurate. it’s a very messy process. Weighted classes are tough to do. He decided to weight co-curricular classes 1.5 but not weigh the highest level I could take Chemistry even though my current classmates had the same title of class “Chemistry” and their class was weighted.</p>

<p>In at Mac.</p>

<p>Lawrence U is very similar to Macalester.</p>

8

<p>Hey guys; can anyone comment on Grinnell, Willamette, Carleton and Wesleyan?</p>

9

<p>Grinnell, Carleton, and Wesleyan are top LACs at the moment, being ranked within the top 11 (but who cares about prestige anyway.)</p>

<p>Those three are very good schools, and Grinnell is especially attractive given its lower than expected tuition, having one of the nations best endowments.</p>

10

<p>Erm. Thanks. Comment on <b>chances</b>?</p>

11

<p>Similar to Mac: Lewis & Clark in Portland? Visited both, seemed pretty similar.</p>

<p>D is at Willamette (soph) and really likes it. With your scores you could get some nice merit aid. Good need based aid as well. Great track program. Very good music programs. Internships with state capitol across the street. I would check it out if you were in the neighborhood along with Lewis and Clark.</p>

13

<p>Yes that is the appeal with Willamette. I don't like the 60/40 female ratio of L&C. I can only tolerate so much of my own gender.</p>

<p>Seriously, I am begging someone to chance me.</p>
