***Gettysburg College RD 2022 Applicants***

Orange packet just arrived! In Massachusetts.

Nothing in today’s mail–CT.

Still nothing from GB in the mail - Mass.

I haven’t gotten anything yet either, also in ma. But today I can confirm my place on the waitlist via portal…Anyone else? I haven’t been offered a waitlist place so I’m confused

My D has same thing on her portal, but nothing in mail. Who’s gonna wait til after May 1st to hear if you’re off wait list?? And why can’t they just email everyone at same time?!?

Accepted! Got the packet in the mail today. For reference, I live in Nevada.
3.6 UW, 4.2 W, 30 ACT, Presidential Scholarship $22k/yr (not that it matters, since my EFC is 0 and I’m relying primarily on the need-based aid anyway). Good luck to all other applicants!

It says the waitlist thing for me? Did anyone who was accepted have the waitlist thing for them as well?

I got accepted, now on my portal without receiving any mail yet with the Abe Lincoln Scholarship… 26,000 a year. I’m from Texas and had a 1380 SAT and a 3.7 UW and 4.1 W GPA

@CCalmumn2018 congratulations!!! Do you mind me asking how you can tell and if you see the waitlist FAQ thing? Again congratulations :slight_smile:

Hey guys, I’m currently out of the country so I’m unable to get to my PO BOX, and I won’t be able to access it for a few more days. I did call, however, and the postmaster said there is a large, orange envelope with a G on it (from Gettysburg)-- they won’t open it however per their privacy policy. Is it safe to assume it’s an acceptance? I wasn’t sure if they send all decisions via an orange envelope. Thanks! – in PA

I did not have a wait list notification on my portal @stellallets

i feel like literally all intl students were waitlisted

@itisali I feel the same. Intl waitlisted with 1480 SAT and quite decent GPA according to my country’s standard, but my EFC is only around ~20k. They have probably given out a lot of international FA during the two ED rounds so the competition for FA during RD is much stronger.

@vanillabean1500 that’s what my acceptance package looked like!!

My Daughter got accepted and we live in North Jersey. Received 3/19. $30,000 in financial aid. I will have 4 in college next year!

mail arrived today in MA, but still nothing from Gettysburg. Is status now on everyone’s portal? Not sure if my son is registered - is it difficult?

DD accepted today–Connecticut. $25,000 in scholarships. When I spoke to the admissions rep yesterday she said the online portals would not have any decision info on them. Not sure if that will change at any point.

DD accepted and received $20,000 scholarship plus some need based aid. However, convincing my husband that her dream school is a better option for my daughter over a state school with a price tag that is half that of Gettysburg is proving somewhat difficult. Does Gettysburg consider financial aid award appeals where the student’s financial situation has not changed? Even an additional 1 to 2 thousand may make him let her attend.

S accepted w $20k merit scholarship. 3.8W GPA, 1460 sat. Lots of leadership, varsity sports, Community service and other ECs. Still waiting on a few others but GC definitely in the mix!.

@helicopterDad123 congratulations!!! That’s wonderful! Do you mind me asking if the mail came again or something? I too live in ma

Again congratulations :slight_smile:
