hi. i am a current senior in high school attending at medium size school in a fairly rural area in Kentucky. my school does ot do much in the way of encouraging the liberal arts or for students to apply out of state. lol I have fallen in love with mount holyoke, but my parents will not let me attend without a good amount of merit aid (we will not qualify for much need-based)
