I’m willing to venture out of my comfort zone in all aspects if it means getting a great education. That’s what I value most.
I have both UTDallas and UBama Tuscaloosa on the ready for submission. I look over them to refine areas. Will be submitting soon. Where should I go next other than UTK (not open)?
I was planning options for plan B if I don’t become a finalist as well. I know I can only apply ED to one college, but is it worth applying ED to somewhere like Vanderbilt or Rice (that doesn’t increase admission chance by a lot) than somewhere like Haverford? Should I ensure the highest chance of admission possible among my QB choices by choosing one I like that has a good ED acceptance rate? Or, would that be dangerous given my financial situation, since it would bind me to that school and I would be in the dark on how they would define my need? Just a thought, wanted to see what you guys thought.
On a lowkey level of thinking… I wonder where the colleges get funding for generous grants. I wonder why some choose to have a tight grip on their money compared those who let it flow freely throughout campus…
