<p>CarolynB and Ken,</p>
<p>Thank you both for your replies. CarolynB I too thought that the previous post from RyanDoyle referred to RD apps. CarolynB in answer to your question, yes I do live in a very small town. If I don’t hear tomorrow I am going to email my Hobart admissions counselor.
Ken-Congratulations to you, your friend and to all who have received rewards and admissions to HWS!</p>
<p>Just found out today (and we are in upstate NY) that DD did not receive Trustee Scholarship but did receive Faculty Scholarship ($17,000) and Arts Scholarship!!</p>
<p>Sompi1, have you received an answer yet? We’re rooting for you!</p>
<p>CarolynB-Yes, I did hear. I did not get the Trustees Scholarship and now have to wait until April to find out if I am accepted : (</p>
<p>wait listed : ( on 3/24. (Do you think the fact that I was asking for as close to 100% financial aid as they could offer had anything to do with it? My parents are displaced workers. Unemployed while looking for work in 2011. Dad just got hired at an I-Bank in NYC. Starting next week.)</p>
<p>Sompi1, I’m sorry to hear that. If you really want to go to HWS, I’d talk to the financial aid office and explain that your dad’s employment prospects have recently improved. They may ask for some documentation. I’d also write a letter to admissions explaining how much you really want to go to HWS (if you do) and also explain about your dad’s recently becoming employed. Good luck! Let us know what happens.</p>
