<p>oh yeah about that .. does anyone know if Catholic services are offered? I know Villanova is near by..</p>
<p>Villanova IS near by... 5 or 10 minutes away.</p>
<p>I got my letter yesterday (friday) and I got in. Yaaa. never interviewed never visited, #'s HORRIBLE. Yaaa for me. Good luck everybody.</p>
<p>I got into Haverford. The package came by postal mail. Very Exciting. I never interviewed or visited but I have heard wonderful things baout the school. Lets just say my #'S are horrible. I wish everyone the best of luck.</p>
<p>Sry about the double note.</p>
<p>Has anyone received any letter or package from Haverford who lives in the Midwest or West? Or do all of you so far live in the East?</p>
<p>Nothing in today's mail, but I'm wondering about tomorrow...</p>
<p>I got waitlisted on Monday and I'm in Colorado.</p>
<p>I don't believe Catholic services are offered on campus, but I do know of Catholics here who still go to mass.</p>
<p>My suitemate is Catholic and she goes to services in the campus center almost every sunday and on friday mornings as well, I think. I'm pretty sure there's bible study once a week as well. She's told me that there are really nice services at Bryn Mawr, too.</p>
<p>To answer 121spirea's question, I got my waitlist letter on Monday and I'm from Connecticut, so I'm guessing mostly Eastern people have heard.</p>
<p>Hmm, my best friend was another one of the many kids in the top 5 of their class with ~1500 who got waitlisted. I really sense some "Tufts" syndome here, but note that she DID get in Wash U. On the other hand, maybe their pool is just that competitive. After all, there are a limited number of slots. On this site alone over ten people have been waitlisted with 1500+. HOWEVER, only about 150-200 slots are available. So, really, we're not going to see a lot of acceptees. Perhaps Haveford just draws in competitive applicants.</p>
<p>i doubt it. it's really quite simple: you only have so many spots, and an excess number of applicants with virtually the same credentials. naturally, not everyone is going to get in.</p>
<p>I'll post my stats just to show you how similar they are to the waitlisted's:</p>

<p>Impressive! Your stats are essentially the same as my friends (similar interests, similar tests scores). So yes, you're probably right - they just had to make tough choices. Good luck! You deserve it!</p>
<p>Hooray! My son got his acceptance today in Illinois. Thanks to all for posts about what to expect...
ACT 35
SAT II 780 Writing, 760 Math IIC, 720 US History
Top 5% of class (huge school)
Well-rounded (athletic/soccer & tennis, music/french horn & trumpet)
He will probably visit H again before deciding.</p>
<p>I'm in Portland, OR and I just got my package today. I'm in! Congrats to everyone else who got in, and good luck to everyone with your other applications!</p>
<p>I just stumbled upon this board but I thought maybe this would help you guys.</p>
<p>My friend was accepted 1320 / 3rd in the class. I don't know exact GPA but at least a 3.9UW I'd say. She is going to have completed 6 AP's. She also interviewed.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all the acceptees! I just want to say that I am from NYC, and I will be attending the Welcome Party for Newly Accepted Students in NYC. Who else in here from NY is going?</p>
<p>I also want to congratulate everyone who got into Haverford. Hopefully, I'll see some of you at Haverford's open house in April, as well as in the fall as a part of Haverford's class of '09 :)</p>
<p>I'm so excited- I got back from vacation to a nice, big package from Haverford... I can't wait for the accepted students' reception :)</p>
<p>how does haverford do compared to other LACs in getting kids into grad school?</p>
