<p>I finally managed to talk to a couple of departments at Ramapo yesterday after all. I got all the answers I needed. My counselor was very nice, spoke to her the last, but I got a bit suspicious about my CC footpaths when she told me tell your mom not to worry midway and I didn’t even mention my mom then!
I explained my financial problems to her, and we talked through the numbers. Anyway they didn’t treat like another scholarship kid and were pretty welcoming. Just come here and we can work it out she said.</p>
<p>Berea couldn’t get thm on phone. Still waiting for their last important e-mail on Monday. But I misunderstood their fin aid offer smallish bit. There is no book stipend, but since every Berean must work 10 hours/week, their letter meant I will be able to cover my book expenses with my wages. Fair enough. They are giving so much.
Last week I spoke to the professors of both schools and they seemed nice.
Had to ask bout research opps since like it is my main career focus now.
Seems like I am blogging here :).</p>
