I ended up getting 10k. My stats are 3.6 UW, 29 ACT, 1900 SAT (yep my stats are not the best haha) and I’m from IL. I retook the SAT earlier this month and the ACT yesterday so scores should definitely go up. Ahh well. What I’m REALLY disappointed about is the amount of aid I got for my essay (I applied for the writer’s scholarship.) I thought for sure that it was a winner!! sigh Apparently not… =/ That’s what really upset me; it’s making me doubt my ability to write! Silly, I know, but I can’t help it haha.

And I guess comparing it to the amount of aid I’ll probably get at Lake Forest College (at least 12k hopefully and maybe some more for my apparently not that great short story and a paper I wrote last year) makes me feel even more disappointed. I don’t know. I’m odd like that. I just guess I was expecting more aid since I expect I’m going to get more aid at other schools but I guess I didn’t take into consideration that Knox is more competitive than those schools I’m expecting more money from. That was dumb of me, lol.

Congrats to you guys though!! I’m glad at least you guys are happy w/ your merit aid packets XD
