Congratulations to those of you who were accepted. Hang in there for those waitlisted because I’m sure there will be places opening up from accepted students that chose other schools.

I’m not sure if it was this forum that I mentioned we received our financial aid notice a few days after the acceptance last year so if you don’t have it yet I wouldn’t take that to mean you aren’t getting anything. Also- we went back to the school twice to ask them to review our financial aid and each time they were responsive and increased it so it is worth a try :)

As far as admissions go. Some of you seem to be forgetting that admission is not decided solely on your SAT scores and GPA. There are a lot of other factors that are looked at. Many colleges are looking for “well rounded” students that have participated in different activities, as well as having the grades and scores and as well as other things. How they view your entire application packet then would be the key to who gets accepted, waitlisted, etc.
