<p>Erin’s Dad: We’re fine in terms of finances. If we don’t get aid we should be fine. My college fund is solid and I have a job with small but steady income if it’s necessary. I live in New Jersey.</p>
<p>tk: I’m totally aware that Harvard is out of reach, I just think my family would kill me if I didn’t apply. I’ve wanted to go since I was like four-ish. I now realize how insane Harvard sounds and I’m not getting in, etc. My grades have been $h!t, to put it bluntly. I expect them to be significantly better this year seeing as how my mother has just recently been cured of her cancer that she’s had. Lifts a weight off my shoulders. I need to be in if not an urban area than at least a suburban area with immediate, reliable access to a city or city-esque type of place (ex. New Brunswick). I can’t be in the middle of nowhere. It’s just how I am</p>
<p>If you guys know of any schools that are in cities or small cities please do tell, I’m really looking anywhere. good comparative lit and history programs are a MUST. Also if you have any tips/suggestions for junior year/college search/applying/etc please feel free to share!
Thanks everyone, much appreciated</p>
