<p>what schools did you turn down to go to Miami?</p>
<p>me - Illinois, Michigan, Texas and Wisc</p>
<p>for me:</p>
<p>UT Austin, Tulane, SMU, Maryland, VA Tech, Purdue</p>
<p>for my son:</p>
<p>Green Mountain college --a full ride scholarship
Ithaca College--A 7K leadership scholarship and acceptance into the Park School of Comm.
SUNY Binghampton, New Paltz and Stonybrook (Scholar of distinction and 2K)
FSU-100 percent Bright Futures Schol. Leadership schol and 9600 acad. schol.
Rollins College- 20K schol. and free computer
Hampshire College (where he really would have loved to go) 12, 500 in schol.
Bard College-5K in scholarship
Jacksonville Univ. --almost a free ride, but we did not visit this school, nor do we know anything about it. they recruited son... </p>
<p>It was difficult to give up many of the above schools, but we hope that Umiami will be the best fit. He picked it because of the comm. program and anthropology dept. and the ability to double major in both. It was also so very helpful to hear from all of you on this site, thanks for soo much support and good insightful comments when we posted our concerns. Umiami consistently had such positive postings!! His top choices were Hampshire and Bard, but it was too expensive--thank you Florida Bright Future Scholarship Program for allowing kids some kind of financial break!!
UMiami =50% schol. and Bright Futures money.</p>
<p>Good luck and congrats to all</p>
