<p>I hope the postgraduate schools give equally generous scholarships like Richmond does. This way if I go to Richmond and do well, I can probably get another full ride 4 years later, relieving my parents of money matters. Hah, as if…Richmond will be still hard, I’m sure, despite its “merely good” reputation. </p>
<p>If I can get the names of a few schools like that I think I can probably convince my parents, arguing “being the top of a good school is better than being at the bottom of a gold school - may get better postgraduate scholarships that way”.</p>
<p>Thanks for your counsel, TurtlePhobic. I’m more convinced now. Hopefully my parents will be, too.</p>
