<p>@PurpleTitan - sorry for taking so long to reply! It is just hard sometimes to know that I could have done just a little better or been able to afford a more expensive school, but instead I will probably end up going to IU, which is essentially the automatic or “easy” choice for many students at my school. I know people who have already been accepted to Vanderbilt, Stanford, and Bryn Mawr among others, and sometimes a state school that is not super selective seems like the lesser choice. Even so, I’ve decided not to apply anywhere else and stop stressing myself out over that!</p>
<p>Colleges update (least-most expensive)
IU: I received the highest automatic merit scholarship and am waiting to hear about the Selective Scholarship Application. I was also accepted into the honors college.</p>
<p>Ball State: Half-tuition & honors college. I am also signed up to audition for the Dance BFA program in February; I don’t have the best chance of pursuing dance at that level, but I need a day to learn more about their dance and education programs Slightly more expensive than IU right now, but I can apply for the full tuition scholarship by January 15. Not sure if it’s worth it… Help!</p>
<p>Ohio State: $15k. Not sure if I will get much else. My parents can pay for $15k more and I will work through school, but I don’t want to graduate in debt. Still need to visit.</p>
<p>Kentucky: I really want to hear back about an interview for the honors college and Singletary scholarship, but I don’t think I will be getting the call since it’s nearly January. If I don’t receive any other information, I will not be attending.</p>
<p>Anderson: $15k and a February interview for full (tuition? ride?). Again, not sure if I should visit again since I wasn’t a big fan of the limited size.</p>
<p>Loyola: Half tuition. If our EFC is too high, I will not be visiting or attending.</p>
<p>Should I fill out the Ball State scholarship and continue with the audition, even though I have a better deal from IU? Or should I just cancel?</p>
