<p>“Im going inot 11th.”</p>
<p>By this I take it that you have just finished 10th grade. You have two years to raise your GPA and your ACT/SAT scores. You also have plenty of time to consider what you might like to do in college, and your parents have time to change their minds several more times about what they think you should do. These are not decisions that must be made right now.</p>
<p>Take a deep breath. Go out and enjoy the summer. </p>
<p>When you come back in, go to the Financial Aid Forum, and read up on automatic merit-based aid. If you find your own money to pay for college, your parents won’t be able to say a thing about what you study.</p>
