<p>Thank you! </p>

<p>Anyone know if they guarantee the same amount of need based assistance??</p>

62

<p>I’m not a class of 2017 student but I used to be a class of 2007 with an expected graduation in 2010 or 2011 but then things happened and so my degree is expected in 2015 I think? Oh hell lord please strike me down now. The amount of places I’d have to post is ridiculous so I’ll just post here.</p>

63

<p>Finally made up my mind. I will be attending Earlham.</p>

64

<p>Congratulations! My son is leaning that way also.</p>

65

<p>I will be attending as well.</p>

66

<p>Congratulations, tfwlql and thirrdplanet!</p>

67

<p>Congratulations on all the new Earlham decisions!</p>

68

<p>Son asked me to write the check last night, so that’s that! I think Earlham will be a great fit for him. He said there’s a facebook page for class of 2017 but parents can’t access it. That’s as it should be. :)</p>

<p>Awesome, Princeton72!</p>

<p>I’m very late to the game here, but want to add my congrats to the new Earlham students. D is finishing her second year and S to head there in August. Quick thought: August Wilderness could be one of the most difficult, and most amazing, things you’ve ever done. Consider it.</p>

71

<p>I’m doing august wilderness! I’m wondering when we find out the financial aid for that as well.</p>

72

<p>My kid did August Wilderness in 2011, and loved it. </p>

<p>The acceptance letter for the program came on 4/22/11, and the scholarship letter came on 5/25/11. It was a partial scholarship only, for $400. The letter noted that the financial aid resources for the August Wilderness program are limited.</p>

73

<p>Yes, there’s a FB page for the class of 2017 but there’s also a closed FB group just for parents of any Earlham students. PM me to get there.</p>

74

<p>My family’s EFC is quite low (under 6k). Do you think I will get 50% off?</p>

75

<p>Haven’t you already gotten your aid package?</p>

76

<p>thirrdplanet, when you ask about possibly getting 50% off, are you talking about the Wilderness Program? If so, I’m afraid I don’t know. Our efc was higher, and that may have something to do with our getting only a $400 scholarship. But I just don’t know whether a lower efc would mean you would get more in the way of a scholarship for the Wilderness Program.</p>

77

<p>I’m talking about for August Wilderness. It says they give up to 50% off.</p>

78

<p>Oh, okay. Maybe you will get that. That would be great – it is a wonderful program.</p>

79

<p>According to the web site, “Award announcements will be mailed out approximately 2 weeks after the deadline.” The deadline was May 1, so we should hear soon!</p>

<p>Forgot to mention that my son will be going to Mountain Wilderness in Utah. He’s really looking forward to it!</p>
