I’m surprised there isn’t more activity in this thread, given how popular St. Olaf is on here! My D25 is also in with full merit and theatre scholarships (she was in as an EA applicant so has known for a while) and is thrilled!

Sorry for not posting something yesterday; was helping a friend move across a couple of states. Our twins got in and are really excited! Beyond the admit, they both received the very generous Buntrock scholarship. This is the first RD school they’ve heard back from, but they’re both really excited and grateful. St. Olaf seems like such a special place, and we’re all looking forward to learning more about it over the spring.
I saw a rumor elsewhere that St. Olaf had higher-than-expected yield the last three years and so was maybe a bit over-enrolled, and so this year updated their process to make it a bit more competitive? Not sure if there’s merit to that, but with how popular the school has been on the boards here, that could make sense.
