<p>Last year there was enough interest in Willamette to have a descion thread for Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. I thought I would see if there is this year. Maybe people could include decision, stats and liklihood of attending. </p>
<p>So here goes!</p>
<p>My D was accepted!</p>

<p>S was admitted EA. Thrilled! Beautiful campus and great people–we had a wonderful visit in July.
29 ACT (32 reading; 31 English; 10 essay–science score from 9/13 test brought composite down)
3.1 GPA UW (all honors classes, so 4.1 W GPA) at prestigious private school
Great recs, essay, and EC; summer employment; music; student leader
$13k/year merit aid (probably due to low GPA; we won’t qualify for FA)
Willamette is definitely on the top of his list–all other schools are RD so we have to wait.</p>

Essay strong but she’s written better. Recs I assume were excellent as they always are.
22K merit scholarship with encouragement to apply for a theatre one next month.</p>
<p>Willamette was low on the list but they’ve been very attentive and personal and thus rising in the ranks. She got a few phone calls and will be attending a local reception with alumni next month. The only one to send a personalized acceptance. They are certainly a favorite of where she’s been accepted so far. Might get bumped in March/April when other acceptances come in but we’ll see!</p>

<p>GPA 4.0 UW / 4.318 W

<p>I really hope that Willamette can provide the rest of the financial aid I need!</p>
<p>Willamette just added an additional $5k to original $14k merit scholarship. We want to wait until we hear from Whitman and Reed before booking a flight to Portland in 2 weeks, but we hope to set it up in a couple of days.</p>
