My D applied to Ole Miss on a whim and received a very good merit scholarship and an invitation for Provost Scholar, register early and a few perks with classes. She also received a very good scholarship to Michigan State that has a Journalism school. We live in California. I want her to be close but Loyola Marymount doesn’t have a Journalism school or major. Has anyone gone to LMU for writing or Journalism? Or Ole Miss or MSU? I think she would like to be near home and her friends who are going to school in Los Angeles but the cost for LMU would be about 15K more per year. MSU is the least expensive at 22K and Ole Miss would be about $24K. We haven’t received final financial letters yet. She also got into Baylor but that’s a third choice now for her. Any thoughts welcomed.
Don’t know how to advise you, but as for Ole Miss your daughter can continue to retake the ACT up to the day of her enrollment and if she raises her score she will get a higher merit scholarship. Just something to think about.
