<p>Maryann, I met a patient yesterday at work that went to Endicott, she liked it a lot, but her only complaint was the size, not having a car, she said, if she wasn’t in sports, she would have found it confining. That said, that was just her personality, other students didn’t mind.</p>
<p>historymom - I think my S should hear from Endicott by the end of Jan. I am not sure about Stonehill - it is rolling admissions. My son completed his appliction to Stonehill on 12/8.</p>
<p>Best of luck to Mary AnnS and the rest of our 3.0 to 3.3 kids for continued great results.</p>
<p>r2r are we going to do a separate thread for the “Where were your 3.0 to 3.3 kids accepted?” It would be really helpful to those of us who have younger ones. Thanks!</p>
<p>I found the one from last year <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/767966-where-did-your-3-0-3-3-gpa-child-get.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/767966-where-did-your-3-0-3-3-gpa-child-get.html</a></p>
<p>Debruns - Thanks for the info on Endicott. It is hard to find input on that school. I would think the students would go into Boston for entertainment.</p>
<p>Hi I’m wondering how you guys afford college for your children. I was admitted to colorado state and wish to attend but it would be a whopping 35,000 dollars. I joined the fast web and zinc but there so over whelming but i might be able to get the 25 30 thousand I need to attend csu. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>plm14, fill out a FAFSA and find out how much your expected financial contribution (EFC) is. If your EFC is below the cost of room and board, CSU may offer you grants and/or loans to make up the difference, or at least part of the difference. That’s how Financial Aid works.</p>
<p>PLM in addition to Lafalum’s advice, apply for as many local scholarships as you hear about. My two shaved about 3K off the top that way, also get a job now that you can parlay into full time over Summer… another several K off the top. Plus work about 10 hours a week when you are enrolled. You will be surprised how it adds up.</p>
<p>Congrats about CSU. We know how much you wanted it and I am happy for you!</p>
<p>Re Endicott. My niece goes there and loves it. I don’t know much more about it, but she’s a sweet, smart kid, and if she likes it, it has to be a nice place.</p>
<p>Thank You I will fill out the fasfa form. thats was really helpfull to know, goodluck to everyone can’t believe school is almost over:).</p>
<p>Historymom - my son has gotten into all 3 Arizona schools - NAU, UofA, ASU. We are thrilled. I am pushing for UofA because of the SALT program, which would be a huge benefit for him. Going to visit in February.</p>
<p>^^elizabethh: have heard WONDERFUL things about the SALT program as well; we have a close friend’s daughter at UofA not in the program; wishes she was though;says that the kids she knows in SALT are having an amazing experience…</p>
<p>If you have a direct flight from CA to Tuscon you are way ahead of the game…no direct flights from NY/NJ anymore…</p>
<p>Hi P14. Congrats on becoming a RAM!! I live in Ft Collins and am a CSU grad (long time ago). You will need to complete that FASFA ASAP and then talk to a financial aid rep about grants and scholarships. If you have questions about FT Collins or CSU I can try to help you out. Good Luck to you. YOu will LOVE it here!</p>
<p>BTW P14 What state are you from?</p>
<p>Once upon a time I visited a website where one could find the number of graduates from a school (in the most recent year, I presume) broken out by major. Does that ring a bell for anyone?</p>
<p>This site shows you that - [url=<a href=“College Navigator - Search Results”>College Navigator - Lehigh University]College</a> Navigator - Lehigh University<a href=“I%20put%20in%20Lehigh%20as%20a%20test.”>/url</a> I use this site for all my quick stats info.</p>
<p>On college navigator it lists average non-federal loans. For example, under Lehigh, it shows 12,371 in average non-federal loans. Does anyone know what that means? Are those average private loans borrowed by a student over 4 years? Are those average private loans borrowed per year?</p>
<p>kathiep, thanks. That’s the one.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that means that the average borrower at Lehigh borrows $12,371 in non-federal loans per year. Collegeboard.com says that the average Lehigh student graduates with $31,123 in loans at graduation. Pretty high if you ask me.</p>
<p>John, thanks. Wow. Does this mean that the average student borrows 31,123 in federal loans PLUS 12,371 per year in private loans for a total of 80,607?? For an undergraduate degree? This also does not include parent plus loans, right? WOW! Is this possible?</p>
