<p>ucbalumnus: Good idea calling the career center. </p>
<p>I did have the money talk with Mom and Dad last summer, I guess I just thought I’d get more merit money than I did based on my resume. I wasn’t expecting a full ride from these schools, but, like I said, if GT would have just matched the offer from Purdue (17K), I’d say, where do I sign.</p>
<p>I have been accepted into the honors programs at Texas and Purdue as well. Purdue has offered me a $17k scholarship, but I just don’t like the fit as much as UL or GT. I haven’t ruled them out completely. I haven’t heard from Texas, but a previous poster said they have become more need based vs merit based.</p>
<p>All these comments are great …please keep them coming. What a great and sharing community this is.</p>
