I’m not doing the honors college actually. It requires you to take certain courses that I can get permission to take without being in the honors college. Two of the courses must be introductory, and I’m done with intro classes at GT. The president’s scholars tend to room together/near each other anyway, and it’s also a closeknit/selective group. All in all, I say no reason to do honors college. I’d rather keep fewer restrictions on my schedule, giving me more time/flexibility to chill, work, or research.</p>
<p>My FAFSA EFC (finally filled out correctly as best we can tell) would mean 90k in loans, which is hugely much better than the 140-150 I was looking at. Does Caltech tend to offer better financial aid than FAFSA suggests you’ll get?</p>
<p>I’ll have more to say on April 6 when I’m back from cpw.</p>
