She was accepted to all 8 colleges she applied to.
MSU - she’s not overly interested here, but applied because it’s close and friends will be there, etc. Invited to honors with a $5000 scholarship and the professor assistance for $4000/year

Western Michigan - she likes the campus a lot, but we did not see engineering, which is a bus trip. We will do an admitted student day. $4000 scholarship and hoping for more because it’s one of the priciest right now.

Central Michigan - she really loved the animation facilities, but didn’t much like the campus overall. $8250 in scholarships making it the least expensive at this point.

Alabama - we are visiting next month. She’s been there visiting her brother once, but we didn’t tour, so we are doing the official visit. No animation there, but it meets everything else she is looking for (except weather maybe). And with scholarships it’s pretty inexpensive. Having her brother there is a plus as well. She is accepted into honors and applied to Randall Research as well.

UAH - we will visit next month. Great scholarship makes it very affordable. Accepted to honors here too.

Tulsa - she liked the campus and really likes a lot of the programs. The computer simulation degree sounded great. And she is very interested in the international engineering program. She received $31,500 in scholarships which puts it in the reachy area for affordability, especially with travel. I think it’s a bit far and isolated feeling for her, but we will see.

Ohio University - we are visiting in February. I think it checks most of her boxes as well. It’s a little isolated but close enough that I think it would be okay. She has $19,500 in scholarships and applied to honors. It brings it down to about the least expensive so far.

U of Kentucky - the last application. I think the university and location meet her desires. I think there are a lot of positives, but not much for animation. It’s the most expensive at this point, and I’m not sure we should visit at this point, but we likely will combine it with Ohio U. She applied to honors here too.

She has some good choices at this point. She flip flops about where she thinks she likes the most quite often. I know she’s feeling nervous about going. I know she is very ready to be done with high school. It’s not been a good 4-years in general. I want her to go have a great time with good friends.
