<p>wow. allegheny is your safety right?</p>

<p>Yeah, Allegheny is one of my safety schools. I want to major in either Political Science or International Relations, so ideally, I want to go to school in DC. Unfortunately, cost is a major factor.</p>

<p>The letter I got was really nice. It seemed personalized and mentioned my involvement in tennis - Allegheny seems like a really classy college and well run.</p>

<p>yeah. have you visited? its not the nicest campus, its decent though</p>

<p>I havn't visited yet...I probably will make the trek during the acceptance or trustee scholar days.</p>

<p>I got a letter saying that I got the the scholarship but no acceptance letter yet.</p>

<p>I got accepted with the Trustees (highest) Scholarship with:
M670/V790
Chemistry 790
Writing 780
Math 2C 750
GPA unweighted: 3.6/4.0</p>

<p>Good ECs
multiple leadership positions
Good writing samples</p>

<p>I visited, got some free stuff</p>

<p>i jsut got in
780 m, 740 v
780 math IC
700 chemistry
700 writing
top 5% in h.s.
they gave me 15,000 a year, they are very generous with merit scholarships
so that's cool
good luck everyone</p>

<p>jj are you really from texas...what attracted you to allegheny?</p>

<p>I liked the size and the idea of going to a liberal arts college. And the scholarhip isn't too bad. I hate the south. My mom raised me as a northerner. It's time I took my rightful place in the world.</p>

<p>Oh and I got the acceptance letter now too</p>

<p>Is anyone going to the trustee scholar weekend?</p>

<p>I do not know yet...I feel like I really should make the trip as a way of saying 'thanks' as Allegheny has been very hospitable to me, but on the other hand, it is a very long trip to visit a college that I probably (and hopefully, although nothing against Allegheny) will not attend.</p>

<p>in w. scholarship (total is like $64,000?) got a call on my cell phone???? from a current student the other day - a neuroscience major, and thats what ive done research in so we talked for a long time about diff. labs and studies on campus, her thesis, etc. never been to allegheny- hadn't heard of it until they sent me that deans app- like thing. is it a good school?</p>
