[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beloit, Juniata, Ursinus, and  Susquehanna! All with merit aid! We are so excited for our DS. [/quote]

Congrats! DD is also in at Juniata and Susquehanna with merit. Still waiting on others but I think likely to end up at Juniata.[/quote]

Congratulations. May I ask what is tipping you to Juniata? My son was accepted but hasn’t toured it yet.[/quote]

Wondering the same! [/quote]

Mainly the strength of the environmental science program and she just feels that it's a very friendly community and felt a connection there more than other places she's visited. Loves the field station and the opportunity to live there for a semester (in addition to other study abroad). She has visited twice, the 2nd time an extensive "eagle for a day" visit which included a long meeting with a professor in the environmental science program, lunch with two students, one of them currently doing the field station semester, sat in on a biology class, campus tour with the student body president. She's currently in marching band and would like a school that has a pep band to continue that kind of music in a lower key way and Juniata does have that (recently revived and eager to grow it) in addition to the other things she likes about it. She'll be doing two more visits this winter - auditioning for a music scholarship and invited to attend "scholarship day" - in addition to the regular admitted students day. Got a very personalized note from her admissions rep, referencing her essay and how what she talked about can be supported there. All in all, she's feeling very connected to and wanted there. There are other places on her list that she likes too but given Juniata's head start at this point I'm not sure others can over take the impression it's making on her. [/quote]
