Hi Guys I applied ED2 to Grinnell and am very curious as to when I will hear back. I know in past years students heard back this Friday, December 29 at 5pm. Has anyone heard anything about when ED2 decisions will be posted?
Thank you!
Hi writer20, We received notice today, from the Fin Aid office, that you are correct. ED2 decisions will be mailed out tomorrow, 01/29/16, and you will be able to check the status on your student portal after 5 pm. Best of luck to you!
@writer20 - How did it turn out? S16 was admitted and is very excited to attend. Looking forward to hearing about all the RD students and meeting his fellow Grinnelleans! Best of luck to you!
^ Can you give us some stats? Just trying to get an idea of who gets in. And congrats to him,; it’s a great school.
Average GPA, but with a lot of AP and Enriched classes. 2310 SAT, 35 ACT & NMF. Good variety of ECs, but no leadership positions, as he is more of a good team member than a leader. Strong essay, and expect good letters of rec. But it is my impression that Grinnell really looks at each applicant as an individual, so I don’t think stats tell the whole story at this school, at all. Its more about personal fit. I suspect the primary reason for looking at rigor of the student’s course load and GPA/test scores is to determine if the student will be successful at their school. The classes are known to be very challenging, and I’m sure they want to make sure the prospective student will not feel overwhelmed. My S is very excited to start selecting his courses for next year, but is especially excited to meet the rest of 2020 classmates! There is a FB page out there somewhere, to join when the time comes. We’ll be following the 2020 RD thread to read a lot of good news from fellow posters. Good luck to your S or D!
