<p>Can anyone provide their opinion on some of the differences between Butler and Depauw in IN? I know they both have good reputations - but am having trouble finding what makes each unique?</p>
<p>Hello. My son is considering DePauw. Any positives / negatives you wish you had known during this process. He is interested in a small LAC with either environmental science or media/communications concentrations. He comes from a community-oriented high school and would like a similiar vibe in college. Thx</p>
<p>When will the class of 2016 (regular admission) hear about acceptances?</p>
<p>S had an envelope arrive today. I can’t open it as he is not here, but it is large. We live in the midwest and mail comes pretty quickly.</p>
<p>Congrats! </p>
<p>My son also received an envelope and was admitted. The letter said that merit info will follow. Has anyone received any merit info yet? When are we likely to hear?</p>
<p>Nice! S’ local friend also applied and didn’t get a letter yesterday, so they may be sending in batches.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how much weight Depauw gives to legacies? My parents, aunt, uncle and brother graduated from Depauw. Will that help my daughter who is an average academic junior?</p>
<p>My son is an A minus student, was admitted and received a nice scholarship, and he noted on the application that he had 3 cousins that are legacy. I would think that admissions would view your close relative legacies quite positively.</p>
