<p>My son's email address is lastname + first two letters of first name @grinnell.edu. </p>
<p>I imagine that the airlines will accept another form of proof -- like a copy of your letter of acceptance or something. How do they know the email address you supply doesn't belong to someone else? </p>
<p>We've not had any problems with the college in terms of responsiveness, but then we haven't really had many reasons to deal with anyone in the administration.</p>
<p>so many early acceptances~~envy you ^--^
i like grinnell, and hope it will mail me a big package~~hehe</p>
<p>any idea when internationals get notified? scared!!</p>
<p>I also a half Asian and Im getting flown in.</p>
<p>Ill be there the 22nd.</p>
<p>you get any $?</p>
<p>yeah, theyre giving me 12k/year in scholarship. but with total finaid its as expensive as my top choice, pomona, and theyre also flying me in, so it doesnt look like ill be visiting. :/</p>
<p>just curious....I just applied a couple days ago so I didn't get my acceptance letter yet from Grinnell but I am accepted into the Grinnell Diversity Leadship Program (4-day visit thing). Just wondering if you guys think it's worth going because Grinnell isn't my first choice but I do like the school. Also, I have to pay for my plane ticket even though they are buying for me. </p>
<p>Advice??</p>
<p>I guess it depends if Grinnell is your second choice and you aren't sure if you'll be accepted into your first choice. In other words, if there is no chance that you'll be attending -- save yourself the time and Grinnell the money. But, if you think you might go there and you really want to learn more about the school -- then you may want to go.</p>
<p>I was just wondering, can Grinnell College give you a merit-scholarship even though you plan to go to another school?</p>
<p>amohamed, not sure I understand your question. Grinnell’s merit scholarship is essentially a tuition reduction if you decide to attend Grinnell. If you go to another school, you can not use it.</p>
<p>And for those of you thinking about Grinnell, check out the Why Grinnell thread on this forum. It’s four years old, but still accurate:</p>

<p>to alinhappyland: If there is a chance you’ll go to Grinnell, you should seriously consider the visit. My son was determined he was going to attend a LAC in Ohio, because it offered him lots of merit aid. He was not even going to do the Grinnell admitted student visit. But when the Ohio LAC flew him in for the campus visit, he just did not like the vibe of the place. The bottom line is that you just never know which school will end up as your favorite.</p>
<p>That post was from 5 years ago. Good advice in general though.</p>
