Expanding on this:
- Regarding costs:
- It is best to indicate the net price after subtracting grants and scholarships from the list price for each school.
- If there are any merit scholarships involved, indicate what college GPA is needed to renew them, if known.
- Also indicate what you and your parents can afford to pay before loans and part time work as a student.
- Regarding intended major:
- If certain about major, include it in the thread title (e.g. “CollegeX, CollegeY, College Z for computer science”).
- Also indicate what major or division you were admitted to at the school, if the school makes that distinction at admission.
- If undecided, indicate what possible majors you may consider (e.g. “something in humanities”, “math or music”, etc.).
- If known, indicate any goals for post-graduation (e.g. (type of) employment, PhD program, professional school like MD, JD, MBA, …).
