<p>i sent my deposit in today! it was exciting and official and I want my email, lol
has it started to work for you yet?</p>
<p>i can’t believe there is no walmart near you
I have like five walmarts near me
and theyre all within walking distance of targets.
and mcdonalds, or something.
so many shopping centers :(</p>
<p>also what’s the deal with finaid? do we just need to send in fafsa/css? i don’t think my dads filling out the estimate form (he’s very pessimistic about the whole thing)</p>
<p>Haha. There’s a Walmart within driving distance (about twenty-five minutes), but it’s across the bridge into another town/county, so it doesn’t exactly count as “here” for me.</p>
<p>There’s a McDonald’s, Food Lion, some banks, Dollar General, a Rite Aid, a Tractor Supply…and mostly private businesses in the town (about fifteen minutes from my house). My drive to school is fifteen minutes too.</p>
<p>Nope, no shopping centers near my house. I live across from a Dairy Farm. </p>
<p>I usually walk outside in the morning and am greeted the smell of manure.</p>
<p>LOL xD</p>
<p>Um, I believe W&M is a FAFSA only school. </p>
<p>My parents turned in the early aid form because we need to know ASAP. We have a lot of stuff to get together. I’m working hard on scholarships. </p>
<p>We’re not in either safe zone, unfortunately.</p>
<p>We make more than 40k, but we’re not even close to six figures. Not by a long shot. But it disqualifies us from a lot of low-income grants…so I’m a bit worried.</p>
<p>Oh, wow. It’s interesting how two parts of the state can be so different. Although, my drive to school is 20-30 minutes, due to NoVA’s trippy school-districting and the fact that our bus has to brave the interstate to get us to school. <em>headdesk</em></p>

<p>Question for those recently accepted: Were you ED or regular decision? My D has applied regular decision and was hoping to hear back soon. Thanks for any input you can give me and congrats to all!</p>
<p>All admissions thus far are early admits. Regular decisons are sent before April 1st. Doubtful your daughter will hear anything before March 20 or so.</p>
<p>I was accepted RD last year but decided to enrol this year, everyone else is ED.</p>
<p>yup, most Regular decisions are around early April.</p>
<p>Your daughter will only hear from schools that are early decision (binding), early action (non-binding but smaller applicant pool), or on a rolling basis (admission decision on an individual basis)</p>
<p>My drive to school is 15 minutes if I speed. (which I do :D) I have to drive through a “reservation” which is a one way long winding road through woods and where I ride horses. It has a deserted village, a park and some other stuff…it’s pretty cool. But I live in a pretty much industrial suburb with a million centers and I live right off of state route 22. but my town is pretty small land-wise (we’re pretty dense though, as NJ is the densest state- great for high car insurance) so I have to drive far to get to the next towns school. (I live on the outer edge of my town, so I’m closer to the next town than the town where I go to school, if that makes sense) I’m like 30 min away from new york city, but usually traffic makes it an hour</p>
<p>keil what county in Jersey are you from?
I’m from northern Jersey too, bout the same distance from the city too, so you’re prob near me…</p>
<p>My drive is 15 through woods and fields…and more woods and more fields…and then on the highway, through more woods and fields. </p>
<p>There’s a field across from my school.</p>
<p>There’s lots of fields where I live. xD</p>
<p>Keil and BigWillyStyle, where in New Jersey are you guys from? I am from Morris County.</p>
<p>I’m from Essex</p>
<p>Does every state have an Essex county?</p>
<p>There’s one not too far from where I live in VA. xD</p>
<p>Congats on your acceptance to one of the finest schools in the country!</p>
