<p>* just reposting this in a new post instead of having edited a previous one:*</p>
<p>Um, well I’ve spoken to my school and looked at the collegeboard website and according to that I should qualify for four application fee waivers. Of course I have to resubmit my family income information and stuff for senior year, but I’ve been told I would qualify if there are no changes. Unless I misunderstood something.</p>
<p>Erm, the selling a car thing was only intended to be an example of dedication or something. Not sure it was the best example but I don’t actually believe I could get off scott free by liquidating some assets or something. I know college is expensive. I know affording school is a big deal. But, I was under the impression that, if I chose to, I could go into this process without limiting my options on the basis of cost. Is that really so radically idiotic of an idea?</p>
<p>I have for some time been under the impression that I would NEED to take out large sums in loans to afford an education. I would not be surprised if graduated school 60,000+ in debt and only to add onto that debt going into med school or a graduate program.</p>
<p>As such, I’m not blown away by the fact that those things I’ve accepted as inevitable are… likely inevitable. The financial “do-ability” of my list isn’t a major concern of mine. </p>
<p>Of course, the fact that this aspect is being stressed so much is making me have doubts, but I’m not entirely convinced I suppose.</p>
