I got waitlisted from my favorite college. Now what?

What if Grinnell’s F/A is no better? Grinnell does not improve your grad school or job placement rates significantly. Are the Wash. schools less expensive? That would be a good way to go and then try to transfer. That way you’ve saved money your frosh year.

<p>Grinnell actually meets full need…I think Lewis and Clark met 57% of mine, and with a lot of loans. Then I got some merit aid, so that brought it up to 75% of the total cost of attending. Also, I think Grinnell’s endowment is something like seven times greater than Lewis and Clark’s. So I feel like I would have better luck with Grinnell.</p>
