Thanks!

I also just got accepted into TRiO, like you mentioned above. From what I’ve seen of it so far, it’s a great program. I’ll be getting all but one of my books for free next semester, plus getting a loaner laptop. The free private tutoring and counseling/transfer advising is going to be great…and I can’t wait to go on some of the campus visits they offer. They have trips to almost all of the schools that I want to apply to, which is awesome. In addition to UIUC, I’m also looking at the Illinois Institute of Technology, UIC and NIU. UIUC is definitely my main target though. I can’t wait until I get these prereqs out of the way, and I can actually start studying physics!! I’ll be starting it next year, assuming I get all of my math caught up by then.
