[ b]General Comments:[ /b] More than likely I’ll end up going here, I like it the most overall, and it’s the most affordable out of the rest that I’ve applied. However, they have given me the least amount in scholarships so far. Seton Hall gave me 17500 a year, and Drew University gave me 21000 per year. And, I’m still waiting on Carnegie Mellon, but, I’m not expecting or hoping for an acceptance from them anyway.
