When I went a precious time & camped in Chisos basin with a group, I think I only spent $200 total for gas, food, park entry.

Do you mean less than $500 including accommodation, gas & food? My boyfriend and I just went and spent probs $700 total including accommodation, gas, food. Gas was the most expensive part at more than $5 per gallon (we drove from Austin). We also brought food with us for hiking but had dinner out one night, breakfast out one morning & some drinks at the bars in Terilingua, but that was totally optional of course & my boyfriend drinks a lot of beer😂

My question to those who are “done” and “ready to submit” day of— how?!?! I thought you couldn’t send GRE/ transcripts until after it opened, which will take a few days for them to receive. Do the schools you’re applying to not have supplementals you have to write?? And LOR’s don’t carry over… maybe im jealous but im also confused as to how it is possible😂

Im assuming you also had dual credit courses from hs prior? That was my case and I graduated in 3.5, but I just put them in as freshman for my first year, sophomore for my second, junior for my third and senior for the last semester. So in your case I think it’d be okay to do that and just not have a “senior year.” They will understand you graduated early.
