<p>mom2collegekids: Thanks again for the tips. I think I’ll mark USC or undecided for now and change my status if needed after some more research and discussion with my family.</p>
<p>audellmom: I actually used to follow The Choice’s segment called “The Envelope, Please” and I think I know the piece you’re talking about. At [Hold</a> the Advice, However Well-Intended - NYTimes.com](<a href=“http://thechoice.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/26/envelope-bates-4/]Hold”>Hold the Advice, However Well-Intended - The New York Times), one of the students blogs about choosing MSU over UMich and Oklahoma State.</p>
<p>Sorry if the answer is obvious, but I’m having a brain fart after having written my NMS essay. What does HSC mean?</p>
