Decided on Gettysburg 100%! I can’t make the admitted students day, but I’ll be doing an overnight on April 12th. The financial aid didn’t work out at all - I’m going to be massively in debt when I graduate, since they’re offering me nothing but a 10k scholarship - but Gburg is the best option on the table right now and I’m going to make the best of it. Can’t wait to see some of you all there in the fall.
Congrats @starsforeyes! Gettysburg is a great school and with the job you’ll score after graduation, I’m sure you’ll pay off those loans quickly!

I’m an International and I haven’t heard anything from them. Is this bad? Should I call them or should I wait until April 1st?
@Hero12345 if I were you I would call. I think all decisions were released.
have any international students received any mail? What country?
how are applicants who are deferred being notified?
@castorf pretty sure you can’t be deferred. There’s not another round of decisions to defer you to. It’ll either be an acceptance, rejection, or wait list.
yeah i meant rejection**
i received my official acceptance packet today! there was a very sweet handwritten note from my rep (who i interviewed with and connected really well with). there was an arrow at the bottom indicating that i should look at the back of the note – it said that i’d been awarded the presidential scholarship! it was such a nice personal touch.
i was accepted to bowdoin, bates, colby, hamilton, trinity, and bard rejected at middlebury and claremont mckenna (and probably georgetown) and waitlisted at skidmore (i’m going to bowdoin). for anyone who doesn’t want to dig through this thread, my stats are 3.7ish gpa and 2130 sats. congrats to everyone who was accepted!!
anyone still waiting?
@castorf me I’m gonna call them tonight for sure
@hero12345 where are you from? I called them yesterday (would hve been their Saturday afternoon) and no one picked up. Do you know if they send out rejection letters too? Tired of waiting
@castorf I’m from Vietnam. I think their office hour is from 9am - 16pm. Maybe they don’t work on Saturday and Sunday?
@hero12345 yeah and its a holiday for them (spring break and all that) so i guess our best hope would be monday morning. let me know if you figure anything out ahaha
@castorf sure!
Good luck to you guys! Hopefully your good news is just a little slow in coming
Thanks a lot @starsforeyes !
They aren’t on Spring Break, that was a couple of weeks ago. Try Monday morning (Gettysburg time)-- about 18 1/2 hours from now. Good luck!
Okay will do!
Are rejection letters sent out through mail too?
International student and still nothing. I tried to call them but no reply.
