Colleges & Universities A-Z Haverford College

<hr>

<p>I'm a rising senior living in Maine. Haverford is one of my top choices for colleges and I would love to go there. I have a 4.0 uw gpa, but I need to raise my SATs.... I've taken them once and got: 690 cr, 670 w, 590 m.... The math part is weird b/c I took AP calc my junior year and I'm pretty sure I did well on the AP test.... Anyways, I'm going to take a lot of practice tests this summer and take the SAT again in October. How high do you think my scores need to be in order for me to get in. (btw, I would be a competetive runner for the school and the cross country coach and I have met, and he thinks I'm a good candidate for the school).</p>

<p>Also, how is Haverford in the fin. aid dept. ? Early this spring, the mill that my Dad worked as a manager for closed down. He made well over $100k a year, and now our sole income is my stepmom, a preschool director, and several apartment houses we own. This abrupt loss of employment will lead this year's tax forms to be false because they will show an income that we do not have. Would Wellesley be flexible with the financial aid?</p>

<p>if you're serious about haverford I would definitely call the financial aid office and talk to them about your situation.</p>

<p>Sorry to hear about your Dad's job. The answer to your question depends on who you ask as different people with the same family income can have different thresholds to what they consider acceptable cost for tuition. I believe something like 46% of kids are on FA and 14% have pell grants which is similar to other peer institutions. You should definitely speak with the FA office.</p>
