Dilemma

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rutgers University
1

<p>Im extremly excited about getting into some top notch colleges. The only problem however is my parents make around 200k combined and are financially strapped @ the moment. I have a younger brother and a sister who are going to need some of that money for college and I don't want to break the bank so they can't go to a top notch school.</p>

<p>I applied to 10 schools in total and here are the results:
University of Vermont: Accepted Honors Program
University of Delaware: Accept Honors Program
Rutgers University: Accepted to Pharmacy Program (#2 school for pharmacy in nation)
Syracuse University: Accepted Honors Program
University of Virginia:Accepted
Boston College: Accepted
John Hopkins University: Accepted
Georgetown University: Wait Listed (was my #1)
University of Michigan: Awaiting Reply
Univerisity of Pennsylvania: Accepted</p>

<p>I live in NJ so Rutgers would be the cheapest option and would provide be with one of the best schools for pharmacy in the nation. I don't want to be known as the kid who turned down the Ivy League Education, but I just don't have the funds to go to any of these great colleges. My parents make too much money so I get basically nothing in terms of aid. Idk what to do I feel like crying I would love going to any of the top notch colleges but it just doesnt make sense...</p>

<p>Go to RU just like any upper middle class to rich kid (whose parents have a lot of expenses) does. RU pharmacy is a great school anyway, and from what I've heard, pharm. employers aren't too picky about what school you're coming from these days.</p>

<p>Congrats on getting accepted to all those schools though. You'll definitely fit in at RU Pharm.</p>

<p>who cares about what other people think</p>

<p>I got into Columbia Engineering and it's really a pain in the ass hearing, "Why Rutgers Pharmacy?" But it's my life, not theirs.</p>

<p>Go to Rutgers you are a lucky person I wish I had your dilemma.</p>
