<p>technically, i'm still waiting on 9, but i pretty much know what i'll be hearing from 4 of them. i haven't heard from amherst, bates, brown, georgetown, george washington, haverford, trinity (in CT), tufts, and yale. i'm 99.9% sure i won't get into amherst, brown, georgetown, and yale; and tufts is a reach...</p>

<p>good luck to everyone with all their schools</p>

<p>Thanks for the info on the portal...we were able to see our son's award and it made for a nice Sat! Thanks for the info!</p>

<p>monster, thanks so much for posting the info about the FinAid link!! For those of you who didn't apply for financial aid (like myself...my family, as many others i'm sure, is at the point where we can't pay for college w/o taking out huge loans, but my parents make enough that we don't get need-based aid...), it's worth giving the site a look - i didn't think anything would be put up for me (since i didn't put in a finaid app), even if i was being awarded a scholarship, but i was wrong...</p>
