I applied to:
Carleton, Reed, Middleburry, Sarah Lawrence C., Clark University, Lewis and Clark C., College of Idaho, and University of Oklahoma.
I am applying to these schools because I have a potential $20,000 scholarship because of the school that I come from (Search davis scholarship UWC if you want some information). This is also an important factor to consider.
My mother is willing to contribute to my education but she will be able to do that if and only if the expectations are solely based on her income.
I really do not want to put a over-significant burden on her.
@tulachka32 She made the loan this year. As I left the US and my sisters are growing up, she was expecting to see an increase in the household costs.
