<p>A poster at this site, <a href="http://www.*******.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.*******.com&lt;/a>, said decisions were mailed on the 23rd. Anyone heard? If you have could you list your stats and where you live?</p>

<p>Came in the mail today, accepted with $$$. Postmarked Mar 23, we're in Chicago suburbs.</p>

7

<p>Mail has arrived on Saturday at home in Chicago. No letter from Grinnell.</p>

8

<p>got the big one today, but less merit aid (10k) than will make enough of a dent. grinnell seems to be out.</p>

<p>how much aid did the rest of you get? i'm guessing the big scholarships came with the early writes...</p>

9

<p>Sierra, before you give up on them, you might try calling to ask them if they would match your other offers (if Grinnell is preferred above others). Can't hurt.</p>

10

<p>Rejected...:(. </p>

<p>GPA: 3.77 from noncompetitive public school
Rank: 45/450 school doesn't weight grades for honors classes...this is probably what killed me
ACT: 29
ECs: Speech, newspaper, choir, theater, NHS
Area: suburban MN</p>

<p>Damn. I really liked Grinnell, too.</p>

<p>Good luck to you all, and congrats to everyone accepted!</p>

<p>Re not receiving a packet today in the mail, someone in our family noted that the Carleton acceptance received on Wednesday took a full week in the mail (we have lousy mail service on the south side of Chicago). In our neighborhood, thin letters would take 2 days on average to be sorted and delivered from the midwest, while packages usually take 5-7 days.</p>

<p>So that is a good sign that we haven't heard! Right? :)</p>

<p>[No wishful thinking in our household, is there?]</p>

12

<p>I got waitlisted. </p>

<p>GPA: 3.64, class rank was BARELY in the top 30%, my ACT was 32, and umm basically I suck? Haha.</p>

<p>I got waitlisted at Colby, Carleton, and Middlebury as well. Man... colleges loooooove waitlisting my sorry self.</p>

13

<p>what if you're an intl student?</p>

14

<p>sierra: definitely contact the fin aid office at grinnell. It's known for being generous.</p>

15

<p>My friend (int'l) just recieved his by DHL. Bangkok, Thailand here! He recieved the half-tuition scholarship thingy. Where's mine? Haha... Congrats to allthat got in!</p>

16

<p>Accepted as well, will get $ 13,530 a year that is IF I attend, which very much in doubt.
Not very pleased with the package, just too little, was expecting sth in the $25K range. But who cares?
Congrats to evryone else who got accepted, I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time in Grinnell, me - I'll be heading to certain college in Lewiston, Maine.</p>
