Does the art portfolio play a main role in increasing acceptance rate or financial aid only?

Help me temper my expectations

Been doing a ton of snooping and research in preparation for my tour and application to Denison. It is staritng to look like the Disneyland of colleges in my mind. I know it’s not perfect since nothing is. But, I need to know some realistic, not-so-perfect things so that I’m not completely deflated when either (a) my tour next week doesn’t pan out like I thought (ie what if I don’t feel like I fit in with the vibe?) or (b) I just don’t get accepted! ….or (c) turns out to not be affordable once all aid/merit come in.

I’m a female, looking to study biology with intent to go on to a PhD, coming from a 2500-student HS that is quite rigorous (very competitive atmosphere….like kids that put a TON of pressure on themselves. Ugh! The whole town has the highest percentage of households with a college degree so of course the kids have a great start and perform well….The school is consistently ranked in top 3 in the state. But I keep seeing comments that Denison is “very rigorous” so I also wonder how that compares to my current rigor. I’m NOT a great test taker (anxiety has prevented me from ever finishing the SAT without having to randomly fill in answers due to running out of time, but even with that I seem to be in the top 75th percentile of submitted SAT scores….so does that mean I’ll “be ok”? Honestly, I’m just excited to be around professors who CARE!!! Instead of them making it all about sink-or-swim (my current situation) with little to no support. It’s impossible to find a tutor around here if you ever need help :( Somehow, often with a lot of stress and tears, I’ve done decently here with a rank of 64 of 565 students. So, for those who’ve come from similar backgrounds, how are YOU feeling about Denison’s rigor in comparison to your high school?

Anyway. I’m sorry for the lengthy post!!! If you’ve made it this far “THANK YOU!” This school is basically my #1 choice at this point so I’m just looking for more “inside scoop” from ppl who can be candid since you’re essentially anonymous and not being paid to tell me only the great stuff.

ED vs RD? ....can't afford the Price Tag!

I'm super interested in Denison but I ran the numbers and (without asking any of my stats) it spit out $48K as my 'out of pocket cost'; can't afford that! So, obviously can't apply ED since I wouldn't know of any merit aid/scholarships until way after. So, any advice on how much lower my chances for admission would be if I went RD?

For reference, I'd like to study biology and/or biochem. I'm a domestic student, not 1st generation, female, with a gpa is 3.9uw/4.2w and SAT is 1400. Do you think my chances for admission if going RD would be much lower vs ED? Also, if you feel comfortable please share or DM me with your total cost after merit [I saw some posts from earlier this year with multiple international admits mentioning surprisingly low COA, like in the low $20K?!?!]. Wondering if I should stop dreaming and just move on to lower cost schools or if Denison is merit generous and there is hope for affordability?

Would You Visit a Cat Café in Granville?

*UPDATE* This gained a lot more traction than I expected! I added one question at the bottom of the survey that gives the option of submitting your email. If you are interested in receiving updates about the project via mailing list, please submit another survey with only your email! Thanks for your time!

Hello Denison folks! I am not a student, but I am trying to gauge interest in potentially opening a cat café in the area and would love your input! If you would be willing to take a brief survey it would help me out greatly and would be much appreciated :)

Alternative subcultures at Denison?

Been considering going to Denison as they've offered me to play football but one thing I'm really worried about is the lack of alt subcultures at the school. I'm from Massachusetts so there's a huge scene here of basically everything you can think of (Goths, Punks, Emos, etc.) especially in Boston with all the schools and historic venues there. I know there's some places in Columbus that have some Punk/Hardcore shows but I want to know if the student body has a decent amount of alternative people. I'd honestly probably hate 4 years of living there if I couldn't talk to anybody about going to shows, the music, or the lifestyles in general. Any response is appreciated, thank you.

Finding Argentine Denisonians

I am an incoming freshman and I would like to connect with someone from Argentina at Denison. I looked at the Denison book website (new faces at denison) for someone from the class of 28 but found no one. Is there any students from Argentina going to Denison this fall? Feel free to leave a comment or dm me!

Foreign Language Requirement

I am very interested in Denison University and it is currently my #1 college. However, I have only taken a single year American Sign Language. My high school considers my IB Buisness class as a language so I hadn't seen a reason to take ASL again as I had a lack of interest in it. Does applying to Denison require me to take 2 years of a single language? I understand I need to take a language while at Denison and Im okay with that. Id just rather not take ASL another year. Thank you for your help guyes!

Textbook questions?

I am an incoming first year. In your opinion, what’s more useful physical textbooks or etextbooks? I can see advantages to both, but wanted to get other opinions. Thank you.

Dorm furniture

I've been trying to buy organizational supplies for my dorm, but it is difficult without knowing the dimensions of the furniture. Does anyone know the approximate sizes of desks/ dressers? I cannot find it anywhere on MyDenison. (I'm in Crawford if that makes a difference)

Dorm purchasing tip for incoming first years

I’m a rising junior and first year fellow, and I thought it could be helpful to provide what I’ve been telling my orientation group! Denison is 4 years residential, which means you’ll be using the same typical dorm stuff for 4 years, whereas at a big university stuff like a shower caddy and mini fridge might as well be disposable after one year. Basically, if you have the means, buy the higher quality/longer lasting items if you can- My favorites are my on-sale name brand mattress pad, strong mesh shower caddy, cushy(!) rubber shower sandals($15ish on Amazon), and wayfair washable rug. Also, living in a dorm can be rough so little quality of life improvements make a huge difference.

GC 101 Commerce and Society requires minimal experience in french?

I'm an incoming international student and just received an email of my personalized Denison bookstore. Going through the list, GC 101 Commerce and Society requires three textbooks, but two are related to French. There were no prerequisites to take this course when I registered; the only French experience for me was learning it by Duolingo for a few months. So does anyone have ideas if this course would also need some handful of experience in French or would it be just instructed fully in English?

Science professor insight?

Hi! I’m an upcoming freshman looking to join a science lab in the future. My advisor told me it would be a good idea to look into different professors research to find a lab I’d be interested in. Does anyone have recommendations for professors I should look into? And what professors are good to work with? I’m mostly interested in chemistry, neuroscience and physics, but I’d love any suggestions!

Is there a provision to store items over winter and summer breaks?

I’m an international student, and I’ll have to buy most dorm essentials after reaching granville. Since students are required to vacate their dorms over summer and winter break, would I be able to store these items anywhere?

Refrigerator?

Hello! Mom of incoming freshman here. Looking for info on a mini fridge in the dorm room?

Other kids’ schools rent them. This does not seem to be standard operating practice at Denison. What do the students do?
