<p>I wasn’t aware that taking the PSAT as a 11th grader is not possible. I have not tried to register for it because I actually only decided today that it was even worth taking. I may have given the wrong impression of my family’s financial status. We are not just getting by. I mean my parents can pay for my college as long as I get some financial aid. My mom is in school now and had to go part time so we have less money than we are used to. I live in Michigan and the economy sucks. I digress. I know that I have relatively good chance of getting into any school, my dream schools however are a reach for anyone. The money really is not going to be a deciding factor in my education. I will take out loans upon loans if I have to. Another reason money isn’t an issue is that I could go to MSU with instate tuition and my dad works there so I get half off. If the money was the deciding factor, I would go there. I need a school that is prestigious in engineering and/or physics that would be considered a safety school for me. Money should not be a problem when I graudate from a great school and get a great job. </p>
<p>U of M is a school I would consider, so thanks for the suggestion!</p>
