@morningside95 – funny but your host description could easily be my son’s roommate. His roommate enjoys hosting overnight visitors. That is interesting since my son is the definition of an introvert!!!
I emailed one of the admission staff w a Q and they said decisions will be live 5pm CT this Friday (March 18)
So @philosophie says on the portal Saturday and @ilikewaffles says admissions staff says 5pm CT Friday. Who’s going to be correct?
I spoke with the Admin office this morning afternoon and they said 5:00 PM CDT on the 18th. Pretty sure that you can trust that info. Good Luck to all.
@ilikewaffles is correct. Let’s all try not to be overly obsessive and anxious and post fourthousandmillion posts about chance me, what if, timezone dissemination and other misc crap that we see on all the other threads, It’s easy. Talk about general BS, wait till the time comes, check your status and then post your results. If your status has not been updated yet, wait awhile and then check again later.
If all of that fails to work for you - feel free to obsess. we will try to sympathize with you and calm your nerves 
As always…good luck to everyone.
alright then. say your favorite dessert. mine is cheesecake.
@thehungrysheep cheesecake is divine, but I think i prefer hot apple pie
Are you guys able to walk barefoot in your highschool? There’s nothing in my school’s handbook that says anything about it (I checked), but I remember 5 years ago when a group of students were sent home because they were not wearing their foot prisons.
@thehungrysheep @karlmarx2020 Cheesecake and hot apple pie sound good but nothing beats anything with chocolate. Nothing.
I can’t believe we’re calmly talking about dessert when every other thread is freaking out now. I like it >:3
@adamfromiowa My school doesn’t have anything against walking barefooted, but literally every science teacher will jump on the student walking barefooted & show a video of a foot worms/infections.
Had a fellow grad student who routinely walked all over campus barefoot. Not only disgusting (her feet were black with grime) but walking into a public toilet with no shoes is so gross.
Haha, in my high school as with 99 percent of high schools in West Africa, we were a school uniform and a shoe is part of the uniform,lol. :))
wear*
My husband walked around barefoot all the time around his college campus. I don’t know how he did that- I’d be afraid of stepping on dog poop. My mom never let us walk around barefoot- she thought we would get sopick.
I agree about chocolate but I’m craving carrot cake…
Affogato. With an optional drizzle of chocolate.
Hey guys,
I finally got the courage to post 
My parents are sick of the word “Grinnell” esp M. I went from “oh H-------” to “oh Grinnell” thanks to CC
I really hope Grinnell College is as awesome as y’all make it out to be…
Oh tomorrow? Reading posts about walking barefooted has evaporated my anxiousness! Good luck everyone I hope to see y’all in Grinnell!
- If everyone could be a color for the rest of their lives. What color would you be?and why?
- If you could choose a superpower what would it be?
- If you could choose your college, would you choose Grinnell? Why? (DW, I applied this year too :D but you don't have to give too much out).
- Could I be a chameleon and change colors
- Pause time
- I'd choose Grinnell, but it depends on other stuff
No you cannot 
Pause time? Cool…very cool.
Alright then
- Color? I think I would be purple. It is completely against my personality and change is good.
- Superpower? Infinite endurance. I play soccer, run XC and love long backpacking trips (hundreds of miles) and would love to not get tired so i could continue doing what i love for longer periods of time.
- College? Right now, probably Middlebury, but Georgetown is growing on me
