Class of 2012, TOP school & academic profile?

<p>marine-- oh to where??? & yeah things could go wrong… ED is a bad choice IMO</p>

<p>MIT-- that’s a really good essay. i get called an oreo tooo.</p>

<p>black-BU doesnt have EA (checked my handy dandy chart(: if they do, can you let me know lol they didnt have it on their sight only ED)</p>

<p>@CPU explain.</p>

<p>explain what?? how ED is the root of all evil???</p>

<p>^^
Of course i’ll make sure to tell if you if I see EA on their site.</p>

<p>and ED is evil because it binds you to a school that you may not be able to pay for in the future or that in the end was a bad fit for you.</p>

<p>Vanderbilt.
They give fantastic aid, so there’s nothing wrong with applying ED.</p>

<p>@CPU LOL are you serious?</p>

<p>thanks buddy!!! i love being around people who are nice and like to help… i need real-life friends like that</p>

<p>and yes i am serious.
your mind could change so fast. nothing wrong with EA or RD…
and what if even tho they give you “good” FA, you still can’t go?? you would have had to withdraw all other apps…</p>

<p>^ Yea my mind won’t change.</p>

<p>i hope not^^^</p>

<p>^^^
I agree 100%.</p>

<p>Trust me, his mind won’t change lol.</p>

<p>ED is a good thing for people who KNOW where they want to go. But I don’t think it is a good idea to apply ED to places with horrible aid unless you can pay for it.</p>

<p>even tho places can say they give good FA… you never know. like MIT said anyone whose parents make under 70k get a full ride… but that’s not true as said by actual students.</p>

<p>Lol but I’m under the poverty level… My aid will be great.</p>

<p>not true^^ people who have EFC of 0 still don’t get enough aid… why do you think people dont go to college?? they can’t afford it even though they should get a full financial ride… i dont wanna seem condescending or anything, but i dont want things to turn out bad for you.</p>

<p>^^
Well it’s good then that you will get tons of aid.</p>

<p>But for someone like me (whose parents also refuse to tell her how much they make)
I have no clue what type of school I can afford, I can only guess,</p>

<p>lol blackrose101- i told my mom to stop working overtime so we would qualify for 100% MIT aid… i want to use her last year’s tax form to calculate the real thing but she wont let me… but ik how much she makes</p>

<p>@CPU Thanks, but I’ve done enough research on my ED school to know they give amazing aid (:</p>

<p>alright, i’ll have my fingers crossed for you lol. vandy right?</p>

<p>I won’t get aid.</p>

<p>I’m gonna be a broke black man in college.</p>

<p>That’s common.</p>

<p>So… what to do?</p>
