Aw man i got home about ten minutes ago and made myself a muenster cheese and honey ham sandwich on toasted bread with a couple of vienna finger cookies on the side... o the deliciousness-man i love sandwiches-so darn good. Anyway, as i sit here infront of my computer, i ponder about my current problem: at the present moment i am getting my college applications ready to send, (not at this exact moment, but you get the gist of it) and i met with Mr. Sullivan, my guidance counselor, the other day about this too, but i have a problem. Im applying to three schools, MIT in Massachusetts, UF in Gainsville, and Embry-Riddle in Daytona. MIT has a 16% acceptance rating!!! and while i would really like to go there, and i think i have a shot, i not totally counting on it. Both the University of Florida and Embry-Riddle are in Florida and im almost positive that i could get in to both, UF for sure-thats my fallback school. Anyway my problem is not getting in, since thats the easy part-but A. deciding which to go to if im accepted to multiple schools, B. Money, and C. Boston's is really, really cold. All three are great engineering schools, with Embry-Riddle being the best(in the country) for the type i want to do (Aerospace) but MIT is one of, if not THE, most prestigious schools in the World, seriously no joke. Both MIT and Embry-Riddle are private schools, meaning that money is a big factor, MIT costs 42,000 a year, insert KIP "jeez" here. I qualify for 100 percent bright futures so UF would be the viable option should it come down to money concerns- Though my pops says that money should be the last thing from my mind at the moment. But wait, theres more. Should i use my bright futures option theres a catch-darn that fine print. From the time you graduate you have 3 years to begin using the scholarship and 4 years to use it up from the time you start using it, which, as some may have guessed, interferes with this wierd thing us mormons like to do, namely a mission. If i go to college immediatly following highschool then i will probly go to college for a year, go on mission for two years, then finish college, if thats the case then i will only get to use 2 of 4 years of scholarship money-total suckage. None of this matters tho if i go out of state for school-life is too complicated. So if anyone knows what i can do, has any suggestions, or knows of another in a similar plight plz drop a line-my guess is that a little prayer may be needed, but thats just my thought.
