High School Class of 2017

@SugarSmarts hahahhsdahjfkl what’s dating? (Thankfully I have something else on the day of prom this year–I wouldn’t want to have to worry about getting a date. Although I probably would have gone alone with the half of my friend group that doesn’t have boyfriends (RIP the prom pictures are going to be quite interesting) if I had gone. People are gross.) (Also I don’t talk to many guys and my #1 requirement is that a guy has to be nice and I have to be able to talk to him??) (Oops.)

@SugarSmarts Colby, as @eyrar99 , is a good choice. But to be honest I don’t find that many similarities? I feel like Swarthmore or Wesleyan would be more similar (I think they both meet 100% demonstrated need).

@GrandBudapest those are good ideas… I can’t remember the financial aid exactly for either of them, but I think it’s 100% ? I’ll check.

Okay… from collegegreenlight:

Aaaaannnnd:

@eyrar99 That’s different from what I’ve usually seen from any other college (exempt from loans if income is under $60k). o.o

@QueenOfBohemia Yeah, $60k seems to be the standard cutoff… The website could be wrong, but maybe Wesleyan just can’t afford to have the cutoff at $60k.

@eyrar99 I just looked up Wesleyan’s endowment. Could they make something work with $810m and not have a uniquely low cutoff?

@QueenOfBohemia agh… well, I guess they can afford it, then! I don’t know… That’s weird/annoying/frustrating.

@eyrar99 Use Questbridge for that college, then! :smiley:

@QueenOfBohemia Perhaps it has to do with the fact that despite it’s large endowment, it is one of the largest LACs in terms of student population.

I also believe that Swarthmore does have a merit scholarship, although it would be incredibly difficult to be awarded one given the quality of the applicant pool.

Lol guys, I’ve never had a boyfriend, never kissed…the list goes on…haha then to make myself feel better I just blame it on my height…5’10" doesn’t feel too good :confused:

@GrandBudapest Eh, I guess 3000 is a tad big for a LAC.

SO MANY NOTIFICATIONS OK HI EVERYONE

@desideratum Hahahahahahaha I laughed/somewhat cried throughout your entire post!!! Omg “romantic friend” hahaha yes exactly…and no no no you are perfect don’t worry about guys<3. Tbh though…“laying off the boys” is like my entire philosophy lmaoooo tear. (: I feel like I imagine highly romantic situations and then I see a guy and I’m like but…you aren’t Channing Tatum…
YAS PLZ TELL THAT TO MY AP LANG TEACHER! He’s all, “oh you need to learn how to collaborate!” Ok, fine, if “collaboration” means I’m literally up until 4am doing the entire. forking. project. alone.

@eyrar99 GOOGLING COLBY RN. Will update once I research!!!

@tonystarkofwinterfell Lmaoooo me hahahaha…ok actually though what do I even do about prom pictures?? My friend’s mom is hardcore into the popularity scene and she wants to hire a professional photographer to follow us around, and my mother is super opposed to paying actual money for pictures. I don’t care either way, but ugh this is going to be so much work just for a stupid dance…

@GrandBudapest Thanks for the info!!! I know about Swarthmore…but I think they’re kinda pretentious…? That’s probably not the best word, but it kind of comes off as a bit stuck up…? I got a few letters from them and I really really didn’t like whoever wrote the letter. Maybe they just have a bad marketing strategy haha. But Wesleyan on the other hand I have not looked into!! Adding that to my research of schools!! :smiley:

Seriously wish I could win free tuition somehow…

Lol, just wondering since everyone is talking about “boyfriends.” Are most of you girls?

@GrandBudapest … Maybe.

@GrandBudapest Oh haha yes! I am of the female gender.

@SugarSmarts Yes you can, apply to Questbridge over the summer-- to anyone who is in need of covering most if not all college expenses! Prime example: My friend got a 250k scholarship to UPenn aka full ride!

@GrandBudapest yep lmao…I’ll take you’re a guy?
