nobbie, this is cool! are you studying poli sci?

3

ooooops! i meant NIBBIE. this is cool, so do you also like video games?

4

I’m more so focusing on International Relations, but I digress that is a field of politics. I haven’t really been too invested in video games as of recent, but I do enjoy the occasional visual novel.

5

Last year it was around 22%

9

Rejected

10

I was accepted! So unbelievably excited!

11

Waitlisted. Anyone know is people get off the waitlist? How much would financial aid impact the waitlist?

12

Congrats!

I imagine, considering Haverford’s endowment, that financial aid will play a role in being taken off the waitlist.

13

DId you apply for financial aid?

14

I was accepted and did not apply for financial aid.

15

I did apply for financial aid, although I don’t think my award has been determined yet.
