<p>Awesome; maybe now my chances at Bowdoin will be better than at Wells! Heh. :&lt;/p>

<p>No no! We need the chances at Bowdoin! :) ...just kidding!</p>

<p>Wellesley, although cutting down with costs, is one of the few schools that is working to make sure financial aid is not sorely affected. Perhaps this is a reason?</p>
