well, you all must come to Haverford and reinvent yourselves, and toss aside all your worries and high school stresses, and take some big Middle Atlantic State breaths. Haverford is a wonderful college with a new set of challenges. My son had to turn in a card that said he isn’t coming because we lost heart and confidence in paying our EFC…for various good reasons I won’t bore you with now. Haverford offered some need aid, and we wrote an appeal, but never mailed it. Even if granted more support, we would not have been on solid ground, so we didn’t pursue after much serious thought and many days of fiddling with numbers and doing the math. We are just on that cusp that has trouble this year with the cost of privates. My son has accepted a merit award elsewhere…and he will have his own surprise alternative adventure instead in a school with some family roots for us.

but for the English major OP, I will quote Irving: Good Night you tired and beleaguered New England Haverford admittees and hopefuls! You Princes of Maine and various other NE states :), you Princes and Princesses of New England.

Sleep well…you are stepping into your future in a historic school in the city of Philadelphia…where many blessings, rewarding times and great teachers and friends await you…best wishes!
