Did anybody here apply for aid?
Yups
@MrSeven - I think we have applied to basically all of the same schools. I keep seeing you on each thread that I am checking for my schools. Good Luck.
Haha, thank you!
I have also applied to Bryn Mawr, which is my favorite!! Did you apply to this one?
@MrSeven - I didn’t apply to Bryn Mawr.
Looking at the 2019 RD threat I see that last year some early writes were sent out in early February. Wonder if that will happen this year?
@collegesearchmom - Really? I think only ED2 results are released in early Feb.
We knew of some acceptances from my son’s school who got acceptances in Feb.
I received an early write last year from Grinnell in early/mid-February. I was quite surprised to hear back so soon as I applied RD a couple weeks prior.
Hi guys! I’m Hazel and I’m from Florida. I wasn’t originally planning on applying to Grinnell so I never toured. Did you guys tour? If so, what were your impressions? I did apply for aid and am super excited to hear back, as the school seems like a great fit for me.
Hi Hazel! I applied ED2, and I toured last… October I think! My view may be a bit biased cause it was on a stunning day, but either the campus is quite beautiful. Out of all the campuses I’ve toured (Grinnell, Carleton, Vanderbilt, UChicago, UMinnesota, and Northwestern), I’ve gotta say Grinnell is by far the prettiest. From what I can remember, the buildings are all stunning (except the east side, I thought those buildings looked a bit out of place), and the quads are really spacious and nice!
I really hope they do the early writs again this year! It’d be nice to get to potentially find out early about acceptances.
Has anyone gotten an early write yet? I know they came out today last year
@Smythe my son got one two years ago and it arrived around mid month…not this early. I don’t know if this is helpful or not…good luck!
@thinmints Thanks for the input! Based on CC threads it looks like they came out on the 6th last year and the 10th two years ago. I was hoping they’d come out earlier rather than later this year, but it looks like I’m in for a bit more waiting.
I called Grinnell Admissions, they’re not admitting any RD students early this year because they decided to discontinue wink admissions 
we’ll all have to wait until March.
@havelah Wait seriously?
We were hoping to get good news early too! Guess we will all have to wait!
Does anyone know exactly when the decisions are published? Can’t wait!!
Last year, they released on March 20… Fingers crossed it’s that early (or earlier?) again.
