I have two weeks left to decide where I’m going for college. I made it to quite a few top schools (Columbia, NYU Stern, Northeastern, Boston University, Cornell, Babson), but they didn’t give me sufficient aid; I believe it’s because I applied late in the process.
I can’t afford to pay much for college so I’m left with Binghamton Advantage Program and UB - both for computer science or applied mathematics, both giving me a full ride inclusive of dorming. I’m leaning towards computer science. The problem here is that Binghamton wants me to start in fall 2018 or go to SUNY Broome Community College for the first year then Binghamton - I’ll be a student of Binghamton taking classes in SUNY Broome. Either way I am definitely transferring out to one of my top choice schools in fall 2018 as a sophomore.
I am uncertain as to how going to community college for the first year will impact me in the future. I need help to decide where I should go and fast.
One thing to take into account are startups: I have mine planned out and I’ll start it in freshman year.
Please help me out here guys.
