I'd just like to rant...

@everyone: I’ve been considering ohio state because it seems to have a lot of what I’m looking for, and I received a merit scholarship there, making it significantly cheaper than usc. However, I was informed today by my dad that he is more likely to take out loans for me to go to usc than ohio state. Either he just isn’t a buckeye fan or usc really is my destiny!!

Also, this has probably been asked a billion times, but if I got into usc and accepted a (extremely low, I’m sure) financial aid package, I could get it re-evaluated in subsequent years, right? So what I get freshman year isn’t necessarily what I will get sophomore year and beyond? I think telling my parents that freshman year will be the worst might ease them into it a little (I’m the first kid they’re sending to college).
