<p>*NO, I don’t think I should be handed scholarship money, I’m just saying if I start school in the august, will testing in SEPTEMBER really help as far as scholarship money?</p>
<p>and how am I going to pay for transfering to 40 grand/year schools? To get where I want to get I’m going to need to get a good internship and good connections, but how am I going to afford that 40 grand/year? *</p>
<p>Yes, if you start studying NOW, you can improve your scores for the Sept, Oct, and Nov test dates. </p>
<p>I think the ACT is in mid Sept…you have nearly 2 months to practice for that. The SAT is in October. </p>
<p>*What about if I go 2 years then transfer? It’s a good school I’m going to already (although not well known) but I can afford it, and I can gain more merits and EC’s *</p>
<p>???</p>
<p>Are you already out of high school? I thought you were a rising senior?</p>
<p>Anyway…the problem you’ll face is this…even with great grades your first 2 years of college, a top school is going to be “needs based” and your parents won’t pay.</p>
<p>The merit scholarships that Entomom may be referring to can be nice, but not enough to fund a $55k per year school. You may get $10k per year, but how would you pay the other $45k?</p>
<p>Please clarify.</p>
<p>What year are you in school NOW?</p>
<p>What state are you in?</p>
<p>What state schools can you commute to?</p>
