ehhhh - you’re the student?
That’s an unwinnable strategy.
There’s no point in wasting your time, effort, and getting excited for a school your parents will say not to.
Having a budget, upfront, is first and foremost - before you look at any school.
Every year, too many kids are getting into schools and their parents say, we can’t afford that - and then they don’t go, go and overstretch their families and drop out, go where they don’t want, or having to go to a community college, etc.
Have that discussion now - then make a list.
Find out what your parents can afford - and more importantly - want to afford. This way you can apply to schools that work vs. schools that won’t.
Please…
