Am I cut out for Engineering?

hey, you could also check out the Summer College for High School at Ole Miss:
http://www.outreach.olemiss.edu/schs/financial_information.html

the cost is only $2150 for each 4-week session and they do have an Engineering Program that will earn 6 college credits.

but if you take the ACT in April and you crush it with a 33 or higher, you will get a full scholarship that will cover program fee, room and board, and meal plan ($2000 total).

a 30-32 would knock $1500 off the cost, and a 27-29 would knock off $1000 off the program.

if you were interested in both summer sessions, then you could take the Computer Science program for the other session.

but that would mean that you would be away from home for 8 weeks on a really nice college campus away from your parents and I don’t think you would like that (ha ha)

if that sounds interesting you should apply now. maybe your ACT scores will come in in time to get some scholarship money.

oh and OleMiss offers a full-tuition scholarship for 33 ACT and darn close to it for a 32:

one of the big engineering scholarships added to that would almost make it a full ride.

both Alabama and OleMiss are aggressive about attracting top students, particularly in engineering, and are willing to be very generous with merit aid.
