Grinnell RD Class of 2020!!!

Rejected, International.

D was accepted! With $25,000 merit plus National Merit once she puts it down as top choice. Yay! She is very excited!

@mythics I got in with almost a full ride, all need-based. Maybe your application was not complete or something? You should definitely contact them if you need aid and you got none.

Son was accepted with Founder’s Scholarship

My son had the same issue with the waitlist. It told him that the time for registration was closed. Anyone know what’s going on with that?

After 7(?) rejections I’m finally in somewhere (and with financial aid)!! I am so happy and planning on going to the accepted students day the 10-11! Is anyone else? :+)

Accepted with Dean’s Scholarship ($25K a year). No FinaAid other than the basic $1700 Fed Loan. Might have to actually consider Grinnell now. Who knows, Iowa could be cool. Congrats to others accepted and good luck to everyone else.

S in with $20k/yr. Yay!! Letter says Founder’s scholarship, but according to website, that is $10/yr – I sure hope letter is not in error! With 20, it’s just doable (and top choice).

Congrats to those accepted, what a great school! DD was rejected. Oh well, at least I don’t have to go to Iowa for spring break :wink:

Was accepted today with the $20k Founder’s scholarship and an additional $20k in grants so it looks to be about $3k more expensive than UMich (which is very affordable for me since I am in state). Am pretty surprised if I’m honest since I applied to Grinnell in the first place because 1. It was free 2. I’d heard good things. I didn’t even do the 'Why Grinnell" optional essay 8-| …

Was waitlisted at my first choice and I’ll have to wait and see about Carleton before I make my decision but Grinnell is for sure top 3… The school’s endowment is pretty nice compared to larger research universities since I want to major in Chemistry I think. Ahh, hard decisions are hard!

Also, side note. Was surprised I got in with a nice scholarship like this since I was waitlisted by Kenyon today… It just is surprising to me that two schools competitive with each other would look at me so differently. Hey at least Grinnell has better school colors though, right? :wink:

Edit: Looking through this thread, I’m even more surprised at acceptance. Have 33 ACT, 4.0GPA, 670 Math II, 780 Bio E, 730 Chem which is much lower than some (especially that math 2 LOL).

on the dreaded Waitlist

Waitlisted

I’m from Northern Virginia, and I am also accepted with a Founder’s Scholarship! Saw the email from them in my inbox notifying me that my decision was ready and was pleasantly surprised to see the confetti haha. If anyone was wanting to know my stats, I will gladly let you know if you ask :smiley:

Congrats to everyone else!

Accepted with 3.6 gpa, 32 act!

waitlistedl

D also in with Founders for 20k. Not enough to make it possible. And she has decided she wants a bigger school anyway.

Straight up RE-jected over here. O! To be a day younger. :stuck_out_tongue:

I got admitted with aid but sadly I will likely turn down the offer as I got better offer elsewhere, good luck to waitlistors

Accepted with the founders grant - but it looks like they took that out of my need based aid.

Hey guys, international student accepted here. I was wondering if Grinnell sends out mail (FedEx) after posting decisions online? If so, did anyone get one or is anyone expecting a package from FedEx soon?
