<p>Have your kids decided on Willamette, or are you waiting for the financial aid package to come in?</p>
<p>D1 did get a nice meri scholarship with acceptance on Christmas Eve but we got some bad $$ news right after the New Year so we’ll see the $$ looks like from everywhere she is accepted.</p>
<p>My daughter will be turning them down this week. She is in at two other schools which she would prefer, and got a scholarship weekend invitation from a 3rd school (so she is probably in). She is still waiting on her #1.</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you.</p>
<p>@ anotherparent – It’s great to narrow down choices so early! It sounds as if your daughter is just about set.</p>
<p>To everyone else, all the best with the college search!</p>
<p>D1 has been accepted everywhere (4 schools) that’s received her app so far(we’ll be waiting on two she just applied to and she still has 2 more to get out), with several nice merit scholarships and also an invite to a scholarship weekend.
She hasn’t really expressed any favorites recently with all this good news probably because she knows we have to see what the $$ looks like when finaid comes in the spring. She did love Willamette when we did a short “Oregon school tour” last Spring, and I was very, very impressed with our visit there.
Depending on $$ she may be needing to do an overnight at a few schools to help with final decision.</p>
<p>Hi Everyone,
My DD visite Willamette in the early fall of this year and liked the school very much–based on the tour and interview. She applied EA and was accepted with good merit $$. I just set up a visit with an overnight and classroom visit because she feels it has a good vibe for her. I am a bit concerned with the postings about ‘sorority scene" as she is completely opposed to that based on the "traditional’ vibe of many sororities (she is an “alternative” type) I will let everyone know her impresssions after her end of month visit.</p>
<p>poppymom, looking forward to you and your daughter’s “vibes” on overnight and class visit. Try to post in the Campus Vibe section also, very helpful to other families!</p>
