Local vs College vs Gap Year

Wow - you got into 3 amazing schools, two of which are brutally hard to get into.

People go to CC hoping to get to U of NC or Nova.

So you wanted more momey?

Why didn’t you apply to schools that give money - Alabama, Arizona, Miami of Ohio, U of SC, etc. You can still apply to lots of schools that are cheap.

Besides money, what else is missing?

Unless you can’t afford them, you have a gift.

If college isn’t for you or you need a year to mature, then sure a gap year. If you want to stay home, sure go to a CC.

To think you’ll get more money, hmmm - unless you apply as a first year to schools that give more money…the no.

So if you wanted money and many do - you needed to base your app strategy on doing so - and fortunately for you, there’s still time.
