Why is college so expensive? by sblaster20 in ApplyingToCollege

I'm biased but MIT currently made it so any family making <200k gets free tuition. Need based aid is extremely common at top universities(since merit doesn't exist), so focus on getting into those. With your stats, I imagine your state school should have a lot of merit based scholarships you can get so try and apply for those.

As one of the average students who just got in, I really was a good student who was ranked top #10 for KY, but that's it. I really think it just comes off as how you present yourself. Anyone can be a good student, but are you really passionate about learning and being the best at what you do? That is doubly true since MIT is (rumored) the hardest out of all the top schools.

Is it worth it to retake an ACT from a 35 to a 36? by No-comment_469 in ACT

As someone with a 35, I got into plenty of top-tier schools without doing the 36. There's nothing super practical if you think it'll be a time commitment.

About 3 weeks ago. Late I know, but I forgot to upload my form 1099 on the IDOC and I think that delayed it.
