Grinnell College Class of 2020 ED

A thread for those considering, or applying, ED to Grinnell this year. Post your stats/general discussion about Grinnell, maybe?
I’ve already applied Grinnell and am very impatiently awaiting my decision right now.

Im applying ED. International student here. I sent my application too.

@Shulav, cool, what are your stats? I’m an international too.

2010 SAT (Wont send) , 33 ACT, 3.95 GPA…some ECs! yours? @mmshress

I have a 2110 SAT (1420 Composite), 3.89 Unweighted GPA, and quite some ECs myself too. I actually got in last year RD, but couldn’t attend because I wasn’t able to afford Grinnell with the aid package I got. I have some pretty significant changes in my finances this year, so hopefully, this time I’ll get in at a price I can afford!

@mmshress I visited Grinnell and was wondering how you decided to apply ED? It’s a strong school academically but I felt it was too secluded/rural and small for me.

@hellokitty679 It just felt like a very good fit for me. I’m all about Grinnell’s small town feel, I feel it just makes bonds between people closer. I actually prefer the rural setting over an urban, bustling metropolis. Apart from that, there’s all the usual stuff with the academics being one of the best in the country, and the facilities top-notch. Of course, as an international, I haven’t been able to visit, but I know quite a lot of current students and Grinnell alumni, and hearing first-hand from them how much fun Grinnell is also led me to applying ED.

@mmshress thats really cool to hear that you’re an international :slight_smile:

hi, im also an international student applying for Grinnell in ED round. Hopefully i can get in!!
For stats, i got a 2220 on sat(1450 math+reading), 3.92 GPA unweighted, and some ECs. I applied for FA and that may lower my chance…but whatever…it’s ED you gotta try :slight_smile: Good luck to everyone!!!
