[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not officially full pay, but considering that I’m looking at OOS public schools, i will most likely not be getting scholarships. However, MSU has pretty decent OOS scholarships of up to 15,000 based on GPA and test scores. I took the act in April and got a 26. I’m hoping to get to 28 on the next one. My English and Reading were a 34 and a 31, but math and science need a lot of improving. Regarding grades, I’ve taken 2 APs so far and am taking two more next year as a senior. I’ve done about four or five honors classes so far and continuing with four more next year. Also, I am continuing my foreign language for the fourth year, so I hope that will strengthen my academic rigor from an AO’s viewpoint. The reason I’m choosing mostly state schools is because I want a big school, [b]not cliquey or insular.[/b] Being remote most of the year for school, it has made me rly want to go out of state and experience new things and people. Coming from an all girls school, I haven’t gotten to have the typical experience, such as game days and vibrant social life. OOS schools seem to offer that piece I want. Since my intended major is public policy, I believe being in a school in a capital city will provide me with opportunities to intern during the school year as opposed to doing a summer one in Washington where the competition is more fierce and overcrowded, as well as very expensive compared to a city like Raleigh or Columbus. [/quote] OP judging from my friends' kids, they are all going with like 5 of their closest friends to State. They are all rooming together etc. I don't think they'd be cliquey on purpose, but it might be hard to break into those high school friend groups. I'd look at private colleges as well. [/quote] This is the catch. At all east coast accessible private universities, you have a large contingent of NY/NJ kids, which I agree sets the scene. But at the publics in each state, you have high school friend groups to contend with. Pick your poison. Another option is midwestern or southern privates (avoid Miami and New Orleans)[/quote]
