Hillsdale College(Early Action)-Status unknown, applied the first week of November, expected class of 300 students. Expecting scholarships and admission.
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor(Early Action)-First choice, Accepted into the College of Language, Science, and the Arts. Scholarships decided after submitting FAFSA. Expecting nothing.
Central Michigan University-Mediocre education, back-up college. Accepted with $9,000 of the $12,000 per year funded through the school. Both my brothers attended and will only attend if money is the limiting factor between Hillsdale or UofM.
I only applied to three because I knew which schools I wanted to go to. I figured if I applied EA and didn't get into these then I would proceed to search for other opportunites. I am more than excited upon my UofM admittance and being a Wolverine would be fantastic as it is one of the Top 20 schools to prepare me for the medical field. I just need to submit my FAFSA and other government scholarship requirements in order to figure how I can fund my education.
Any news on the ROTC, Will?
Also, what AP tests are you other seniors taking this year? My school is offering our first APs ever in Literature, Language, Government, and Microeconomics. I'm planning on taking Calc AB, Lit, and Spanish Language. I've never taken an AP and I'm wondering if it is worth my money to take them?
@Corn, submitting the applications is probably the worst feeling ever. You can't change it and you realize that you've sent all hopes of your life continuing to another school. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST DAY TO SUBMIT. My biggest mistake was waiting until two days before to start my essays, I was positive I would not get in because they were so bad. Get your applications done as early as possible and revise as much as possible.
