<p>Okay, I got my financial aid letter from Lewis and Clark…it was not pretty. If I matriculated from there (assuming I get basically the same award each year), I would graduate with over 70,000 dollars in debt. Yeah, so that isn’t going to happen. So now I feel more sure than ever that I am going to wait a year if I do not get off the waitlist at Grinnell.</p>
<p>I have contacted my regional admission officer and I am planning to call him tonight. I think I will ask my counselor to send an email as well, and I will ask my English teacher to write me a letter also. Can you guys think of anything else that I should do to try to get off the waiting list?</p>
