<p>ahh... not to be offensive, but I define my safeties differently, as Don Lundquist, Dean of Undergrad Admissions at Union in NY spoke at my school "A safety should be a place that isn't your number one, but is a place that you would be satisfying in attending" so with that in mind, I considered Rochester and Grinnell my safeties, and I got accepted early to both, I didn't mean to be cocky, and of course as we all know, there's more to a 2060 and a 33 in the college process... I have other things that make up my application... so if I offneded anyone i'm really sorry!</p>
<p>Congratulations to all of you guys</p>
<p>I have a question..</p>
<p>Does anybody know how many early notification letters Grinnell sent out... and how many regular acceptance letters they will be sending?
Thanks.</p>
<p>Unbeknownst to me, my dad called my regional admissions rep at Grinnell a couple of days ago to ask a few questions. He casually questioned how many early notification letters were sent, but she "didn't have the numbers in front of her." So, I don't think this is widely known data.</p>
<p>Food at school should never be anticipated as being good. But, recently, Grinnell's chef received an award.</p>

<p>I sure hope you're not trying to imply that Grinnell's food is good. Because it's not. Students, while they can be hypercritical, have acknowledged that some schools have superb food (I hear Macalester frequently mentioned). They rarely have such praise for Grinnell. Note that Turley is in charge of catering. I've been lucky enough to try some catered food (I worked for a catering event, once), and it's excellent--too bad it only feeds rich alumni and the top administrators.</p>
