<p>Niklas,
add USC to your list -[they have a great Engineering program! ]AND get your application submitted by Dec 1-then you would be eligible for a merit scholarship! USC gives out 200 full tuition scholarships and 400 1/2 tuition scholarships to top students each year.
Did you take the PSAT and is your score above your states qualifying number? If so, you would receive an AUTOMATIC 1/2 tuition scholarship at USC. </p>
<p>I’m sorry you feel invisible to your family, but its just because your parents DO have confidence in you, and need to focus their attention on the “problem” children in you family.
It will be much better for you once you’re in college, surrounded by equally smart, interesting students. Keep your chin up! You’ll be there soon.</p>
