Grinnell 2010 Waitlist Thread

<p>Anyone else sitting on the waitlist? Grinnell is my top choice right now so I'm hopeful, and I have been having some good conversations with the head of admissions, but it's such a small chance. Who else is in my position? Has anyone heard about the waitlist yet? Let me know when you do!</p>

<p>on the wait list too.
and the saddest of it all is that I am on Reed’s and Mount Holoyke’s wait list too.</p>

<p>jezda, I know someone still deciding between Reed, Grinnell and a third college. He can only go to one! :D</p>

<p>I was on Reed’s waitlist too, but after calling the admissions office I decided to get off it. It’s not the place I thought it was. Good luck though!</p>

<p>why so, if i may ask?</p>

<p>When I called, I asked if there was anything lacking from my application. The admissions officer I talked to told me that I was at a disadvantage because I was homeschooled. He said that Reed is a traditional school, and they weren’t sure I could do the work. It just really rubbed me the wrong way because everything else I had heard was that Reed was more alternative and that I would fit in great there.</p>
