racereer–thank you for your comment. I would be able to join club swim at GT, not at UW. I think that I do want to keep playing my sport, because throughout hs, its been wonderful being a part of a team. While GT and CWRU are definitely more expensive, I think I am lucky enough to where my parents are willing to pay. I just need to convince myself its worth it. Regarding your son, is he planning on going to grad school, or is he hoping to work after undergrad. How have the opportunities been at GT? I would love to hear more about his experience!
