I figured that you only get one time to dream so I applied to many schools that had really good EE programs in the hope it would work out. My family does not have any $$ to send me to school. So i tired to apply to schools which had great financial aid or would have gotten be a tuition break cuz Im a NYer. So I sent out/requested fee waivers and then left the rest to the admission office.
I was shocked to say the least. But I worked my ass off and i feel good that my parents dont have to worry about a bill esp. with other children coming up. I actually thought I was gonna go to a CUNy City before I got the other acceptance letters.But I will be at MIT at the end of the summer. I feel blessed
I got into
Merrimack college with 14000 per year
Drew university with 14000 per year
Hofstra university with 9000 per year
Saint josephs college with 16000 per year
University of Vermont with 2000 per year (out of state scholarship)
University of new Hampshire
Umass Amherst
^all early action, no early decision
And deferred to regular decision at northeastern, then waitlisted
Isnt the point of Early Acceptance to apply to your number one college??
How can people apply to multiple programs? I thought that almost all of them were binding?
