<p>Ok, so list 1) accepted/rejected/waitlisted 2) SAT I breakdown 3) SAT II Breakdown 4) ecs:excellent, good, poor 5) recs excellent, good, poor 6) hooks 7) whether you'll go or not</p>
<p>1) ACCEPTED
2) 770 Verbal 650 Math 770 Writing
3) 730 Lit, 660 Math IC
4) ecs: excellent
5) rec's only ok
6) I've done a lot in child psychology which might be a hook
7) I'm not sure yet, it's my top as of now, but I'm still waiting for Brown, Wesleyan, Tufts, Haverford and Vassar</p>
<p>1) Accepted
2) V: 640 M:670 W:640
3) Lit: 750 BioE: 690 (But it doesn't matter, I didn't send them to Grinnell)
4) EC: Good
5) Recs: Excellent
6) I dunno if it's a hook or not, but I was up there for a month for Honors Scholars, so Grinnell Professors gave the admissions office AWESOME recommendations, I know the multicultural recruitment chick by first name, and she mine. I know it definitely had something to do with me getting in.
7) I dunno. I love Grinnell, I know a lot of people up there, but I'm leaning towards Swarthmore right now. Grinnell is a high second though.</p>
<p>1) Accepted
2) 800V, 740M, 800W
3) 800 US History, 800 Chemistry, 770 BiologyE
4) ECs: Good
5) Recs: Likely excellent
6) Low-income, first generation? (more like tip factors)
7) Well, I think it will be difficult. I've already been accepted early by Amherst and Williams, and both have offered better financial aid packages. But I won't rule anything out at this point...</p>
<p>1) Accepted (Trustee's Honor Scholarship, 10K per year)
2) 780 Math, 770 Verbal, 660 Writing
3) 770 US Lit, 700 Math IIC
4) ecs: good/excellent
5) I think recs were good
6) Well-rounded, very high GPA, all fives on AP tests
7) It's going to be tough to make a decision between Grinnell and some of the other schools, especially since they gave me the scholarship. I'll know sometime after my visit during April, though.</p>
<p>Accepted....</p>
<p>SAT: 2270
ACT: 34</p>
<p>and much more.</p>
<p>Gah, I was so busy I did not see the format to this:</p>
<p>1) ACCEPTED
2) 740 Verbal 780 Math 750 Writing
3) None.
4) ecs: excellent and plentiful
5) awsome
6) None

<p>1) ACCEPTED

3) Bio/E: 680, Chemistry: 660, Math Level 2: 710, Lit: 640
4) Excellent
5) didn't read them, but i'll assume good/excellent
6) well rounded, lots of community service, 4.2 GPA W, etc
7) depends on what other colleges will offer in the next week</p>
<p>johnnydr87, but doesn't Wash U cost more than Grinnell?</p>
<p>Grinnell: $36,730 for tuition and room and board.</p>
<p>Wash U: ~$40,000</p>
<p>40k - 36k= 4k</p>
<p>36k - 21 = 15k.</p>
<p>Wash U.'s cheaper for me.</p>
<p>1) Accepted!
2) 800 CR, 800 WR, 710 M
3) 790 Lit, 600 Math II
4) 3 books published, plus serious ECs, so excellent
5) Probably good recs, plus an awesome one from a congressional office
6) Juvenile diabetes, plus 3 books
7) Will probably attend (got small Trustee Honor Scholarship ($2k), but didn't apply for any fin aid), unless I get into Yale, in which case I will think very very hard and have trouble deciding.</p>
<p>Edit: Wash U's ~44k. Dear god.</p>
<p>College is expensive.</p>
<p>Just wondering! Have fun in St. Louis! Sadly, I'll be somewhere...anywhere else but here!</p>
<p>From US NEWS web site</p>
<p>WASHINGTON U
Tuition and fees: $32,042
Room/board: $10,064 </p>
<p>GRINNELL COLLEGE
Tuition and fees: $27,504
Room/board: $7,310 </p>
<p>$42,042.00 - 36,000 = 6,042 for Washington U
34,814 - 21,000 = 13,814 for Grinnell</p>
<p>Great job with Washington University -- if you tell Grinnell about the numbers, maybe they will match. It i up to you.</p>
<p>In fairness, I did apply to scholarships for Wash U (a separate application and essays).</p>
<p>Honestly, I think I prefer Wash U anyhow...</p>
<p>Props to all who were accepted.
Anyone know what percentage of waitlisted applicants actually get into Grinnell? Or how many were waitlisted this year?</p>
<p>D in Virginia got acceptance letter today.</p>
<p>I don't know a percentage, but of the 8 people I know who applied RD, 2 were accepted, 3 were waitlisted, and 3 haven't heard back yet.</p>
<p>Waitlisted. </p>
<p>I'm not staying on the list though, I kind of only applied (over other schools) because the app was free. It would have been really sweet to go though.</p>
<p>When were your letters posted? When did you hear? Has any intel heard?</p>
<p>indian, son in Geneva received acceptance letter Monday. Good luck!</p>
