That is about it.... The process was painful... but overally it worked out in the end... if you look at my sn and look at my location you'll see where i'll be attending next fall... lets hope the grade deflation Gods will nice to me.. haha im a liberal atheist by the way
Im very happy with BU... they gave me 36k in grant money per year... which i need... cuz if you look at what my mom makes... as a waitress... then youd see why...
Look for Best Fit.... Find out where youd b happy... and do your research... go to Barnes and Nobles or somtin and read some of their college books... hah i do it all the time... they dont care... they wont kick you out
START EARLY... biggest regret i had was that i started the process in november... wayy too late... start early.... dont be afraid to reach for schools you dont think you'll get into.. be ambitious... find the best fit ... visit... i really couldnt and it may have hurt me.. but im poor.. ya know what can ya do... anyhow good luck... pm me or leave one on this thread if you have any ??'s.....
Good Luck |
