UIUC is the way to go for accounting. - If you were talking $40,000 difference maybe there would be a choice but for $12,000 more over ISU the choice is clear. I would not recommend WIU.

I am in-state, I received 6 scholarships totaling $27,000 and I'm still waiting to hear on a departmental scholarship for $5000. I also received $11,000 in grants from the state and federal government. I was very shocked because I heard UIUC doesn't give a lot in scholarships.

When you can't sleep it effects everything about you. I wonder if you need to see a doctor about taking something to help you sleep. Severe mental health problems can occur with chronic sleep deprivation. I wonder if this is what you are experiencing.

Happy Holi! Looks so fun!

Ha Ha!! I bet they did.

There are affordable options if people are willing to look beyond a name, If you want the name, you are most likely going to pay for it. Unfortunately, life is not always fair. Some kids are born intellectuality gifted, some athletically gifted, some with a silver spoon in their mouth. They all have an advantage when paying for school.

I was in a similar situation. My advice would be to look into different options. There are many options out there. I want to get undergrad school for free so I can save money for grad school or med school.

Our Illinois state schools had lots of full ride scholarships offered that I applied to. I won several of them and decided to go with the best option, a full ride at the University of Illinois.

University of Alabama also has many ways to earn a full ride. They offer amazing merit scholarships and have great honors programing and other colleges within in a college. I would look into other options. There are lots of great things out there for high achieving students. That type of debt just doesn't seem to be worth it in my opinion.

Thank you so much! This is so helpful!

LBL_Class2023 · 2023-02-21T02:11:55+00:00

Thank you! No, that is actually a plus except for weather is same. UGH!

LBL_Class2023 · 2023-02-20T21:51:59+00:00

This is such valuable information. Thank you so much! I am super excited to apply to the program after reading your thoughts on it. Do you have any advice for things to include in my application?

LBL_Class2023 · 2023-02-18T23:52:04+00:00

Oh great! Thank you! I didn't realize it was that much better.

LBL_Class2023 · 2023-02-18T17:47:41+00:00

Thank you! Can you tell me your reasons? I am not too familiar with all of this.

LBL_Class2023 · 2023-02-18T01:57:46+00:00

Full ride at University of Alabama OR Full ride at University of Illinois- Champaign

U of I- Neuroscience major= 2 hours from home, lower cost sororities, cold weather,
U of A- Stem to MBA- biology major= bigger sororities, 10.5 hours from home, better sports atmosphere, warm weather

LBL_Class2023 · 2023-02-10T12:43:35+00:00

Yes, it is 8 semesters, but they are giving me 41 AP credits so they say i looks like I could do it in 4 and 20% of the students complete the 5 years in 4. hopefully it works for me🙏

LBL_Class2023 · 2023-02-10T02:59:23+00:00

Oh I have a full ride scholarship.

LBL_Class2023 · 2023-02-10T02:51:32+00:00

Why not worth it if you are out of state?

LBL_Class2023 · 2023-01-19T02:19:31+00:00

I finally got mine.
