quickly i just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who has responded! I just realized that the reply button does not indirectly notify the people I was replying to so I am extremely sorry about the lack of tags used to respond.
@milgymfam i mean if money was no object i would run to haverford because it has always felt like the best fit school for me… but finances are a priority
@circuitrider acceptances came out last week and i got my aid in the mail monday. i am planning on calling haverford’s FA office
@havenoidea i will look into the avg undergrad gpa at haverford…i think its becoming quite clear that no matter where i go its what i do that will matter more, but the choice is still something
@Publisher i think i am leaning towards temple honors, possibly not as a commuter anymore because that is also a very inexpensive option considering my FA. My biggest goal in undergrad (and in general) is to involve myself with underserved school districts to better understand the nuances that are failing so many kids and teachers across the country. that was part of the reason i was interested in haverford at first-- that goal seemed to align with the ethos of that school
