Thanks @shoot4moon for the positive and helpful response! Yes, my “UW” is indeed Washigton, and it’s a great school. I wouldn’t be living on campus, and my parents have told me they can cover it with ease. They obviously have some money saved up, and when I said that they haven’t really saved much I meant for an out of state school that would charge more than double UW. Anyways, I hope to go into the computer science, engineering field (which is top notch at UW!), but I have always been interested in going to schools that aren’t in the heart of a busy city, which UW is. Cornell is a dream school, and if I knew that we could pay for it, I would try to ED there.
