<p>xrCalico23- I’m hoping that between FA and merit, whether through the school or independently, he can at least have other options. At the moment, he seems to feel as though he is stuck going to the other school, which he said describes as, “okay, I guess.” I just think that someone who has the intelligence to go to some really phenomenal schools, that he might really love, shouldn’t have to settle because of money. I know that in the end it’s entirely his decision, but as a friend, I thought it really couldn’t hurt just to show him that he does have other options. He doesn’t seem anxious to put in the legwork required to find schools that might fit his needs, and from his description, his parents don’t care as long as it’s free.</p>
<p>plumazul- Thank you so much! That’s good to hear, haha. Even though I’m a senior, I haven’t really looked into this aspect of applying to schools much yet, because I’m in an entirely different situation than my friend. I’ll definitely look into the schools you mentioned :]</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
