VAMON4 - Congrats on your D’s acceptances. Very impressive group of schools. My D was also accepted into CWRU and Drexel’s nursing programs. What are your thoughts on both? She is leaning towards Drexel as they have the co-op and gave her a bit more money.

Great job to your D @katbel on her admission to and selection of UMass Amherst Direct Nursing!
How did she decide? Did she consider Arizona State (Direct) or University of Arizona (pre-nursing)? What did she think of those programs? Thanks
Anyone hear from Saint Anselm?
No word from St As or UNE. Anyone have info on Uhart?
@readthetealeaves DD really wanted a direct admit program and she wanted to leave the Phoenix area since she’s lived here all her life, so she didn’t even look at ASU. She also wanted to go somewhere that had an active ski club (17 year old priorities). U of A was her backup if she didn’t get into UMass. Great nursing program and with merit a lot less money.
@tslovenursing Heard from St. A’s yesterday, in for Nursing. Woop!
Update: Added one acceptance, number of years the programs require and the total cost with any merit awards. I know there will be pundits on this board who don’t think cost is important, but it is an investment in my daughter’s future. My daughter will likely not receive any need based aid. I’ve committed to pay school costs up to the the most expensive in state school (UCLA). Any costs above that will be born by my daughter. My daughter is wise and doesn’t want to graduate with debt, so the schools that will result in her graduating with debt will likely not be in the running.

@Bonchien Congratulations on another acceptance for your daughter. It sounds like you have a strong plan to make college (nursing) affordable for your D and she is buying into that plan. Good work. When will you hear from your UC and CSU choices? Will USF even be doable then?
@katbel thanks for enlightening us about your daughter’s decision making. It is helpful to know how other people’s kids decide. Good luck with UMASS-A!
@readthetealeaves Will hear from the UC and CSU schools in March. USF is not in the running unless they have additional merit scholarship opportunities.
Did you hear through the online portal or mail?
@Bonchien in addition to the $25k/yr USF has a separate application for a 1-time $20k scholarship. I recall last year when we applied there my D missed the deadline for that one. We agreed it was too expensive as well.
Perhaps check out the honors scholarship for SDSU to see if it applies to you http://go.sdsu.edu/student_affairs/financialaid/academic-achievement-scholarships.aspx
@tslovenursing were you asking @Bonchien or @rokkogirl ?
@rokkogirl Congrats on St A’s nursing. Thanks for sharing your good news!
@Banker1 Thanks for the link for the SDSU honors scholarship. I have not seen the USF $20K scholarship application. Maybe I can go looking for it, but it would still be expensive if the $20K scholarship is not renewable.
