<p>alright thanks</p>
<p>alright! i just got accepted
i'm currently waiting for the news of the aurthur holly comtpon scholarship</p>
<p>Congratulations! As I recall, scholarship notification comes within a couple of weeks of acceptance.</p>
<p>Woo hoo! My D applied RD and already got accepted! They're going to send info regarding whether or not she got the scholarship in a week or so.</p>
<p>My first kid and her first acceptance!!</p>
<p>Wonderful! I know your feeling exactly. My daughter is now a freshman at Wooster and loves it!</p>
<p>I hope I'll receive some type of scholarship (Merit or Aurthur H. Comtin) or I'll be disappointed; COW is my first choice as of now excluding Financial Aid influences =]</p>
<p>My daughter received a very nice merit scholarship from Wooster. Many schools do not offer significant money to ED students. She, and her parents, were very surprised! The offer came a few days after her acceptance. We are now buying a few winter clothes for next year. We even got an LL Bean credit card for the free shipping. Not too many places to buy quality winter boots in Florida.</p>
<p>Nicesocks--Did you write an essay for the College Scholar Award? That's a good scholarship, which my daughter competed for and won. The Arthur Compton is also very good, as I'm sure you know.</p>
<p>Rhsmom--From Florida to Northern Ohio! Your daughter is adventurous! But despite the cold winters, I bet she'll love it at Wooster. My older daughter complains occasionally about the Wooster weather, but overall doesn't seem to mind it. ... My younger daughter (currently a high school senior) is looking north for college as well. We live in Kentucky, which has cold winters (compared to Florida or Southern California, where I'm from), but mild compared to where she's applying--Minnesota, New York, Rhode Island. So, we'll be flipping through the LL Bean catalogs as well!</p>
<p>rhsmom - we're in the same boat, as we're from CA (northern part). Yeah, it gets cold here (people laugh at me when I say 40 is cold), but snow is a foreign object to D! If she chooses Wooster, we're probably also going to invest in (washable) silk longjohns.... Winter Silks has good prices when they have a clearance.</p>
<p>Hindoo - thanks for the info sharing. We got a good feel for Wooster when we visited last summer. Also close to her cousin at Akron! I think I'm secretly pulling for Wooster, but it's her decision. It's her first acceptance and she applied RD to all her schools ($ is an issue!). PS, I'm from SoCal too!</p>
<p>Today's high will be 62 so people are dragging out their down coats, H and I went to colleges in Maine and we have lived in various places up and down the East coast. We lived in Va. until D was going into 7th grade, so she has snow memories. We have become weather whimps living in Florida. Interestingly, we have a significant Amish/Mennonite community in town. Most of these folks come from the Wooster area. Some of our stores and restaurants are branches of ones from the Amish communities near Wooster.</p>
<p>Growing up near Los Angeles, I remember those "cold" 62-degree winter days! If you went to college in Maine, I'd say you have enough experience with bitter cold to last a lifetime. ... I've lived in Kentucky for 20 years now, but the winters here still get to me. (Friends call me a wimp with thin So. California blood in my veins.) ... That's really interesting about the Florida Amish community. I don't normally think of those two together. I know the Amish are a significant presence around Wooster, but where I really noticed them was when we were looking at Kenyon College in Gambier.</p>
<p>Hindoo: I did not compete for that scholarship because prior the Jan. 1st dead-line I did not know If I wanted to pursue COW.</p>
<p>I go to school in Ohio so I'm used to the fluctuating weather during the winter season. Last year in Jan. the temperature went up as high as 60 deg. and the next week it 20 deg =] hehe</p>
<p>do i need to file something else w/ the FAFSA as an RD applicant?
css or something else?</p>
<p>Wooster only requires FAFSA--not CSS.</p>
<p>and the only time they need the css is for EA/ED applicants, correct?</p>
<p>I don't know, nicesocks. Our daughter applied RD last year and all we needed was FAFSA. Call the Wooster admissions office if you want to make sure.</p>
<p>yeah, they only need the FAFSA for RD</p>
<p>DD got a $15k/year scholarship from them! She is an RD applicant and was accepted last month. It was her first acceptance.</p>
<p>Congratulations to you and your daughter, Erin's Mom!</p>
