@BiffBrown yeah Posse can only be applied to certain schools so I didn’t think it’d translate over as well and renowned as something like Questbridge would, I was just confirming. I know one of Posse’s chapters partners with Northwestern though, just not the chapter I’m part of. My ACT score translates to a 1500 on the SAT so I was planning on submitting ACT. In terms of ED, it’s hard because on the outs it looks like my mom could afford it since she has a fair amount of assets and savings, however, she has to support 4 other people (my grandmother, my two sisters, and I) and my sister will be a freshman in college at the same time I am a junior in college, so it’d be very financially difficult if I was attending Emory, having my mom pay ~$30-40k a year when considering costs of living, on top of having my sister attend college. I am fully aware that other students cannot afford to even attend college without financial aid, which is why I have no hard feelings about it, but yeah, I guess we’re not overwhelmingly wealthy, but most definitely financially stable, which is why I doubt that I’d get much, if any, financial aid. And, my mom I believe would technically be able to afford for me to go but, as stated earlier, it’d be extremely hard on the rest of my family and i wouldn’t want that to happen; I heard that ED is a very lengthy and technical process to get out of, so I can’t afford to run that risk. I’m not “pre-med” as I’m not intending on becoming a doctor, vet, or anything of that sort in the future. I can technically major undergraduate in anything and still pursue a Public Health master’s degree, but I think it’s great that I can do it undergraduate for all the more opportunities. Thank you so much for the insight about Northwestern! It’s definitely not in my top 3 list of colleges but it would be amazing if I went and my mom is pushing me to at least try to apply as anywhere else out of state, we have no family. Thanks so much for all the comments regarding Emory too, I will definitely look into the scholarship.
@VANDEMORY1342 Thank you for mentioning the concentration! I had no idea and it sounds like something that i’d be really interested in, kind of like the best of both worlds. Thanks again!
