Who's Waiting for an Envelope?

GCMom415, you answered one of my questions on another thread about financial aid–you told me that your son received a good aid pkg. I’m happy to report that my daughter received a great pkg. also, and is 99% sure she will be attending Gettysburg. It won’t be EASY, but it should be doable. I am making her wait to see her other pkgs., for schools which are lower on her list, but unless there is a HUGE difference, she will be joining the class of 2015. And to think—she did not even want to visit the school! I was the one who dragged her there because I thought it would be a good fit for her, and she fell in love. Sometimes mom does know best.

I see that you went to GAD last year. I don’t know if you attended open house or did a tour prior to that, but I was wondering if you think it is worth going to GAD if we have already visited the school. I’m leaning towards yes so that she might meet some classmates beforehand, but the program sounds pretty similar to the open house we attended. It’s a seven hour or so drive for us, so it’s quite a ways to go if we will be doing the same stuff. (For example, they give tours, which we have already done.) What do you think?
