<p>Forgive me for saying, but don’t base your college choice on your 8th grade dream! What did you know about making life choices in 8th grade? The best thing to do is try not to get your heart set on any college until your acceptances are in. Then go from there and make the most of your choice!</p>

<p>He was offered a $17,000 merit scholarship by Northeastern. He was also accepted to the Honors College at Pace University ($27,000 merit scholarship) and accepted into University of Pittsburgh. We do not know about merit aid there yet. He also applied to Binghamton and Bentley, but Pitt and NE are his two top choices. Best of luck - I hope this helps. They notify you online first, so check your email and the site if you have not heard.</p>
