I believe this morning I had the misfortune of tutoring the real MexicanDr....except he is Puerto Rican...I guess the Mexican thing is only wishful thinking lol

And Tulane is offering me a scholarship. Not ginormous but hey I didn't expect a penny. So yay!
 
Been quiet in here over the weekend... My wallet is hurtin from the festivities.
 
On the plus side, I lost 6 pounds.

On the minus side, I came home to a rejection letter from SUNY downstate.

👍 I'm jealous. Trying to slim down myself. And 🙁 sorry.

I hate it when the Bears are on Sunday Night Football because I have to listen to that idiot say THE University of Louisiana when he is talking about some no name school.

Haha, I don't even know which one is THE UL. There's a few.

Um, weird. How do you know it was him?

And yay! Tulane gave me a scholarship too. It's good to see a school handling the monies earlier on. It's nice to know these things.
 
Yeah, Tulane is pretty good at giving out scholarships. They tend to give out a lot of smaller ones (up to half-tuition) vs giving out a few larger ones.

In my letter they mentioned that full scholarships were available but that they'd be given out later. Idk how many or when. But I suppose it's possible to get one.

Say wha....?

And congrats on the scholarships!

why is everyone hatin' on this "mexicandr" kid?

cause he loves hitting on the ladies of SDN nonstop
 
Anybody else been to both OSU and UVa?

I've been and been rejected by both. :laugh:

I liked UVA way better than OSU. I agree that the curriculum could be a concern, if anything just because it's new. And OSU is cheaper with the in-state after a year thing.

I would still go to UVA. But I don't have either option. 🙁
 
I hate cranial nerves and origin/insertion/actions. This quiz could destroy me tomorrow.

Are you talking about the "In the event you should receive other scholarship support, which pays your full tuition it will be necessary...."?

Did it say full scholarships or other scholarships that can pay your full tuition? Just wondering because I believe they send the same letter for all scholarship offers.

I'm sure there are a few possible larger scholarships... but i remember the representative that talked to my organization made a comment about how she wished there were larger scholarships to hand out.
 
Don't remember the way it was worded. Seems like I interpreted it wrong. Quite possible. I'm a bit slow sometimes. :laugh:
If it is the same statement-you interpreted it the way my mommy did...which I think is wrong. What I think they are saying is if you do the military type thing or the serve in under-served area thing (I forget what it's called..something about national blah and blah) which pay for your tuition-they will have to take the scholarship offer back.
wha wha.

I could be completely wrong though....in which case...big bucks no whammies!

Yeah, no way to know for sure I guess. But your way makes more sense I think. Yay for monies anyway!
 
Haha 830 is nothin Metallica... You got that shizz... Look sharp and good luck!! 🙂

Nah, you're right. I'm pretty sure that's what it means.

We've had this discussion, and we figured out the exact school. But I refuse to look it up again just because THE UL sounds so ridiculous.

Yeah, sorry about that. 👎

Interesting that you liked UVa so much better than OSU though. I'm leaning the other way at this point.
 
VCU - tomorrow at 8:30am 🙁 Earliest one I've had yet.
the emory one is at 7:30
good grief!
at least I don't have to travel too far...just a 10 minute FREE shuttle ride lol I love things that are free after the exorbitant amount of money I've spent this interview season!
 
Yeah, sorry about that. 👎

That's definitely one of the more interesting points of the process. Everyone can agree on good schools, but at a point where schools are seemingly equal in outsiders' eyes, intangibles come into play once you actually visit and personal preferences are established.

It's just a shame we can't all necessarily attend the school that fits with us the best.

Yeah, agreed. I can't even really point to why I like OSU better than UVa. Or maybe I don't? :laugh: Who knows. I'm glad I have a few months to make this decision, but in reality it's probably going to come down to cost.

I can point to several reasons why I'd lean that way, but most of them have to do with geography and politics.:laugh:
 
Buckeye football games in the shoe? That has to be at least a .01% factor... Lol
 
On the plus side, I lost 6 pounds.

On the minus side, I came home to a rejection letter from SUNY downstate.

sorry🙁 i didn't know they were snail mailing rejections already...i'm glad i haven't gotten one yet, maybe i'm on some kind of hold rather than rejected. eh that's probably just wishful thinking though, i don't think the suny's want me haha.
 
Oh, yeah, if you went to a UVA football game you'd have to dress up.


It's bizarre, I tell you.


ew so bizarre. they need to take note of how us hokies do it-jeans and a t-shirt is way better football attire than dresses and heels!🙂

That's pretty early, and pretty awesome, not hte PRDr thing tho 😀

Well that's good overall, right? I mean, who cares about downstate anyway? bbl? dw?

So my student host here had a Thanksgiving dinner, which was nice after not getting to eat for 8 hrs - so I get Thanksgiving twice this week. 😀

ha, that's pretty awesome, usually i have to buy my hosts food

VCU - tomorrow at 8:30am 🙁 Earliest one I've had yet.

8:30 ain't that bad man, many schools do 8 am or earlier, but they do provide breakfast.

the emory one is at 7:30

what time was your slu interview? i remember mine was at 7:30 in the morning....

Buckeye football games in the shoe? That has to be at least a .01% factor... Lol

that's like a negative incentive for me :laugh:

😱

Please elaborate...

it happens in a lot of southern schools, basically the girls wear dresses and the guys wear collared shirts and khakis. Ole Miss, Georgia, Bama, they all do it more or less. They'll let you in and everything, but that's just the way everybody dresses.
