i don’t know yet. but i do want to do something related to community work and poetry (maybe theater, but that’s an off chance). i don’t think it would be beneficial for me to know what i want to do after college as of now, because that sort of thing could change pretty easily given the amount of perspectives i’ll be exposed to during my 4 years.
reasonable means that i have as much a chance as other people. of course it’s going to be selective, but it’s not impossible. since i do have a good safety school, i’m not disposing of my chances of getting into a college down a deep dark canyon or anything. i already know for myself which colleges will be a good fit for me (i have done in-depth research), and if i’m allowed to i would like to ask for only financial advice here.

Check with Bennington about its policy with respect to how scholarships (internal or external) affect its financial need projections. At some universities, they will reduce their need-based aid by however much they give out in merit scholarships or that a student receives from outside scholarships. I don’t know what the policy is at Bennington (or at any other school on your list), but this is information you will want to know for every school you apply to.

…and AustenNut, i asked the Bennington AO in an interview about this, and they didn’t say that my need would change. which is a relief.
