@putinator Congrats! Btw I got no scholarship 
Now I’m waiting for Berkeley; Berkeley’s way cheaper and their engineering is better
Waitlist. 3.4 UW, 34 ACT (2.1 GPA first semester, which they saw). White kid from NY, feeder public HS. Mediocre EC’s, good essays, excellent LOR’s, and I am shocked they didn’t reject me after my dumpster fire of a first semester. 4 C’s and I’m still in contention?? I will def send a LOCI
@annabellaadora, don’t give up hope about competitive schools! Many stories of people who got into one selective school but not another. My D got her acceptance from Grinnell and rejection from WashU yesterday. Know of someone who was rejected by Grinnell a few years ago so went to her second choice… Yale.
Thank you for the encouraging message! I’ve only gotten into a few safeties and waitlisted by every school less than a 30% acceptance rate so far, so I’m feeling pretty down. I won’t give up hope though!
Yes I saw my merit aid in the online acceptance letter
@SWerShrimpy omg congrats!!
FRC’s kind of my main essay but from a different perspective rather than engineering, I got waitlisted tho… writing the love letter now loll
btw did you get into Georgia Tech as well? feel like have seen you sw
I still have not received any notification re RD. Does Grinnell release the acceptances first and then the refusals? I am bummed, it feels like I am now waiting for a big NO!
I am wondering if any accepted students have received their packages from Grinnell, and how they were sent?
@GSDogs check your portal. For my D’s case the email merely told her to check her portal for the application status change.
@Momto2girls My D got early write near the end of Feb, and received a mail (USPS) within next couple of days.
@singingbear, my D got acceptance on Wednesday, still nothing in the mail. I was hoping it would come today so we could pore over it this weekend, before some other anticipated acceptances come in next week. Has your D decided where to go?
@Momto2girls actually it is getting harder. Now she got accepted to Grinnell, Davidson, Colby and W&L which are those I want her to go to due to financial aid reason, both merit and need. For the next two weeks what she likes are coming… so things will be getting interesting 
Accepted with 16k founders.
ACT 31, 3.7 UW gpa, Illinois. I think my essays, recs, and ECs made up for my kinda low stats.
@singingbear Grinnell reset the passwords and I never received a new PIN from them. Something must be wrong with my communication with them
@GSDogs looks like you need to call them. My D received the new PIN at Thu, Mar 14, 2019 at 10:05 PM
@singingbear that is a good idea. I did email yesterday, even though it was Saturday. I will call tomorrow. Congrats to your daughter!
D accepted with 26,000 merit. 35 ACT 4.2 GPA.
I wonder if they accept appeals – Anyone knows? I submitted my application way too early and now I have a SAT that’s 150points higher, a better GPA (due to the first semester of my senior year), awards etc.
I do not know any LAC that accepts appeals… if you got a higher SAT you should have sent it immediately, as well as sent your midterm grades
My son got an acceptance packet via snail mail yesterday (3/18). We live on the east coast.
