@apple23 Awesome, thanks for the info!
Admitted from Egypt! Can’t wait to see you all this fall!
Admitted ED II from Jersey!
@mikaylac99 could you tell me your stats and EFC?
@JOhn245 Sure,
APs: World History (4) US History (5), English Lit (3), US Gov/Pol (4), Senior year: English Lang, Seminar, Environmental Science, Human Geography
GPA: About 3.7 unweighted, 3.9 weighted
Class rank: 30/245
SAT: N/A, ACT: 25 composite
Extracurriculars: President of GSA, National Honor Society, Intern for creative writing nonprofit and Raise.Me (scholarship site for students), editor and writer for a few online magazines/podcasts, had a few creative writing awards and published a handful of poems, got a scholarship to attend Kenyon’s Young Writers program
My letters of rec were from my AP World teacher, a mentor from my internship, and my AP Lang teacher (advisor for GSA). They knew me the best and I think they wrote really great essays–I had a super close relationship with them both which I think helped.
Personal essay: wrote about my love for concerts, how it ties into my love for stories and hence writing
I know in terms of grades/test scores/etc I’m a total outlier. I think what really set me apart was that I attended Young Writers and had a really great interview with an admissions rep. He had even sent me a postcard after camp saying he hoped to see me on campus again, that he really enjoyed our interview, and I even stayed in touch with him through email. Indeed, in my acceptance letter the dean wrote about my interview and that it really showed I could make a difference on campus.
Also, my EFC was about 7k, but Kenyon ended up giving me nearly a full ride–70k out of the 71k tuition. My estimate for cost of attendance is about 2,600 a year.
Hope this helped! Excited for the next four at Gambier 
In case anyone reading this doesn’t know, there’s a Facebook group! 
Did anybody else get a personalized handwritten postcard from their interviewer?
My DS did, yes. He has also kept in contact w/ his overnight host.
@ChaosParent23 does everyone who interviews get them? Mine was extremely personal
I believe so, yes. And it’s not just Kenyon. He also got one from 2 other schools he interviewed at. It’s a nice touch!
What is the Facebook Group?
groups/367541360739432/ insert fb dot com before the group id
Has anyone heard back yet about the Kenyon Writing Award?
Nope! Probably hear when RD admits do.
@artheart28 I was thinking the same.
Hi does any one know when RD decisions come out?
THEY CAME OUT
