<p>MidwestParent, Thank you for a glimpse into your college journey. I am taking several pieces of suggestions from it, visiting schools more than once is such an obvious one, but until I saw it in black and white, it eluded me. With your daughter’s stats and ec’s I’m surprised she didn’t get one of WashU’s scholarships, which makes me think they are harder to get than I thought. Mine will also probably be NMSF, so some of those full rides to other schools look so tempting (to me anyway, with two more girls coming up just a few years away). But the PNP program really hooked her at WashU.</p>
<p>Funny story about St. Olaf. When we went, we noticed the same URM young man on the panel and brochures for the school. I’m sure they want to change their homogenous image as well.</p>
