<p>I got in! not enough merit aid, but I'm happy I got in.</p>
<p>Thus far on this board, i've not seen anyone get crazy good aid. :(. I think i'll hear back tomorrow...and i hope it will be good news. can you guys who got in post status please??? i'M SO NERVOUS</p>
<p>In response to EMP:</p>
<p>I do not know what you consider to be good aid but I received about 6,500 a semester in Gettysburg Grants (not including Presidential Scholarship). This grant money is their FA money from the school. My parents make well over $100,000 a year and including all assets (401k, savings, house, cars, other financial jargon, etc) are "multi-millionaires". I consider this to be very generous aid.</p>
<p>As for status, do you mean credentials?</p>
<p>Wow, you're right novaswim, thats great aid!!! It gives me hope if I do get in tomorrow haha.
Sorry, typo, I meant stats. As in SAT/ACT, GPA, ect to get an idea for myself. thanks for your help!</p>
<p>EMP:</p>
<p>Correction: I just checked and it was 6,000 in aid, not 6,500, but about the same and equally generous.</p>
<p>SAT: 1380/1600
2000/2400 <em>**I am an awful on-the-spot writer. Much better with scientific/analytical writing.
Act: 30 *</em>*does not include writing</p>
<p>GPA's differ too much to use this as a prediction.</p>
<p>Decent EC's, but nothing major.
I did interview with the school, I do not know how much this helps in admissions process.</p>
<p>Okay thanks so much for the information, really appreciate it!! Yeah, I interviewed as well...hopefully that helps haha. Congrats again, is Gettysburg a top choice for you, novaswim?</p>
<p>It is one of 3 I have narrowed my decision down to.</p>
<p>You aren't international, right? If so, your stats are good enough for some of the more prestigious colleges.</p>
<p>No, I am not international.</p>
<p>Why Gettysburg? I think your stats are good enough for a top 20 LAC - if you believe in rankings, that is.</p>
<p>Well, the competition in the international application pool may be a lot fiercer than you thought.</p>
<p>I just got my letter.
I think the whole town heard my scream hahaa. And I got the founders scholarship (7,000) plus a fairly large grant so yeah, very good aid.</p>
<p>Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, you made it!!! Let's hope that BB012 also does.</p>
<p>Thanks theGame, I'm so excited. With Aid, I may just actually be able to afford gonig haha. Yeah i'm crossing my fingers for BB012!!!</p>
<p>Will meet then. Decided any majors - yet?</p>
<p>hha yes! Um, I want to DM in History and Political science and minor in civil war era studies, yourself?</p>
<p>Thank God I found someone taking three different subjects! I am interested in taking Economics and Psychology as a DM with French as a minor (yes, it is possible lol) :)</p>
<p>Yay, thats great. So, where are you from?
I was actually looking into French as a minor as well but I don't think i'll be versed well enough in it by September :).</p>
<p>theGame:</p>
<p>I don't think you cannot believe in ranking because they are there, no matter how much a person may disagree with them. However, I would never apply to a school based on ranking but how well I thought I could spend four years there. </p>
<p>I did not apply to any LACs except Gettysburg because I am pretty sure I want to study engineering, which LACs do not offer (Gettysburg included).</p>
<p>^ Lafayette does. But that's an exception I suppose. lol</p>
