Accepted to 1 in state college (Cal Poly SLO) and 3 out of states (Case, RPI, RHIT), though not really excited about any of these colleges. RPI and RHIT are more expensive (more loans) and Case’s FA package had around the same number of loans (~10k/year for an EFC of ~1.5k) as Cal Poly.

The catch is that I applied for MatE at Cal Poly which I’m not as excited about because they didn’t have my preferred major (ChemE), which I applied to for all others. The other upside to Case is less people (4k vs. 17k).

I can’t decide whether it’s worth it to take out the loans for either or just go to community college and transfer because I’ve worked hard in high school (2200 SAT/4.0 UW) and it seems a waste to end up at a CC.
