<p>We do look similar on paper, turntabler! Although you really showed me who’s boss on the Critical Reading section of the SAT. :P</p>

7

<p>As a Hampshire parent, I am jealous of all you applicants w/ Bell Ringer scholarships! Our son got a Non Satis Scire scholarship and our daughter got a Deans scholarship, both substantially less than the Bell Ringer (which I had never heard of until this year).</p>

<p>Accepted with 10k/year</p>

<p>Congratulations to everyone!!</p>

<p>As a Hampshire parent, I too am impressed with you Bellringer Scholarship winners. Not sure what kind of merit scholarship my D got- it was the 2nd or 3rd level according to her (and pretty good in light of Hampshire’s limited endowment). Congrats to all.</p>

11

<p>Decision: ACCEPTED</p>

<p>From Beijing, CHINA!</p>

<p>I’d love to connect with some of the other parents of the Class of 2016. My daughter just finalized her decision to attend, and we are thrilled! She, too, received a Presidential Scholarship, $12K over four years.</p>

<p>Congratulations to the new class!</p>

<p>Do you know about the Hampshire College Family Blog?</p>

<p><a href=“http://blog.hampshire.edu/family/[/url]”>http://blog.hampshire.edu/family/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>This is one place that Hampshire families exchange information.</p>

<p>As someone heading toward year #7 as a Hampshire parent, congratulations! And no, I don’t have a particularly slow student, I have two kids, with a one-year overlap.</p>

<p>I can second the recommendation for the Hampshire Family blog- especially the series they did last summer (and likely to repeat this summer) where each entry addressed areas of interest: banking/money handling, dorm rooms (with pics), transportation options for home and local. It was very helpful. Good luck to all the incoming students and their faimilies. My D is finishing up her first year and knows she made the right choice for her in going to Hampshire.</p>
