D was also accepted to both St Olaf and Carleton, receiving merit aid from Olaf and just plain love from Carleton, as we are full pay as well. She first became interested in Olaf because of the music, but when she did not get invited back for the music scholarships, she seemed to reevaluate her goals and options. We are from the east, but had a connection to St Olaf through a family of fine Ollies. Came down to D liking the vibe and diversity of Carleton more, but the food and music are better up on the hill.
