I'm Being Dissuaded Left and Right...

<p>nj<em>azn</em>premed,</p>

<p>You seem like a really ambitious person. The most important thing to have when going out into the world is ambition, and if money for college is going to be a problem for you, then you need to come up with creative solutions to solve this problem. I’m not sure how far into high school that you are, but something to keep in mind (as you will soon begin researching colleges, filling out applications, etc.) - is to apply for a LOT of scholarships. I recommend taking a look at a book on this subject called ‘1000 ways to get to college’. It goes into detail about how to take advantage of every financial resource that one can find (and some that you really have to dig for) so as to curb debt. I’m now a freshman in college now (attending Johns Hopkins University), and this book really helped me - I applied for a lot of scholarships - and the ones that I was awarded, in addition to Federal and institutional financial aid have left me debt free!</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>
