65 will buy you drinks when you turn 21 if you come to SMU

SMU is my first choice...I'm super-excited about getting the acceptance.
We apparently have some unused scholarships we had set aside for JUCOS. Can you play DT?

wait until you get your financial aid award packet. don't not let them know you have any outside schlarships before that either. you might not want to accept them. smu deducted my outside scholarship amount from my financial aid and some one them were only 1 or 2 years. they weren't replaced either so i had to come out of pocket for an amount that i would have already had if i did not accept.

Here's an idea--major in engineering and go the co-op route. It's a five year plan, so you'll get that extra year of free drinks from MrMustang90125, and every other semester you'll work a full time paying job in local industry.
Or you can do what I did for law school and go the full student loan route, but then you'll be paying it off like a mortgage for 15 years after you graduate.

Yes. Oh wait, you meant well. Well then, no.

I have a friend who is majoring in engineering and will go the co-op route. I, on the other hand, will be a business major, so hopefully I'll get a paid internship to help pay for school (if not, I guess I will be going the jtstang route, as I plan to enter law school after graduating).

If you go the Intern route stay away from the one year old Clinton School here at his Library!!
Well the financial aspect just got slightly less scary.
I received a letter from Dr. Turner notifying me that I have been chosen as a Dean's Scholar, an award that carries with it a scholarship in the amount of half tuition. "This year only 32 early applicants of approximately 4000 applications received to date are being awarded this honor." I am also a finalist eligible to compete for the 2007 President's Scholar awards( full tuition) and am invited to campus for a scholarship interview day in March.
