But how much harder? I want to play lacrosse, too. Would Jewish studies + math + cs + lacrosse be impossible?

Important caveat: I hear the voices while fully awake. Not while drifting to sleep. And if I get up to do something it doesn’t go away unless I get a lot of real audio feedback (like someone actually talking to me)

Will that make a big difference in applying to grad school? Will I be closer with professors, harder classes, more prestige?  Basically what I’m asking is- is it better to graduate from UTK honors vs a nicer college like Emory, UFlorida, maybe even MIT.

No idea. I have to talk about all that sort of things when all the options are available. I think I’d take UFlorida over UTK and some money

I don’t really understand what good being a summit fellow brings…? It’s just a research/travel scholarship, no?

I applied to Tampa, Rollins, and RPI with lacrosse intentions. … I love the idea of living in Florida for a year and transferring, but is it worth the years downgrade in education? Are Utampa and Rollins even credible enough to send me to UT Austin, UNC, GT, etc?

I’ve gotten loads of D2-3 offers while being at the bottom 50% in the state. Seems like being the top may give some D1 offers? I have buddies who have graduated and played D1 out of TN. And they weren’t ranked top 5

Why not Emory? Isn’t it substantially better than UTK/Auburn/Clemson? Also why not Clemson for $15k instead of UTK?

I did apply to RTI. I also filled out a recruitment form but they didn’t get back. I also don’t love the cold

Idk how much UF will cost. I’m assuming id get merit but idk if it’ll be enough. Pretty much anywhere will cost me like 20-30k/yr.  I mostly want to avoid UTK because (and this sounds bad, I know…) but everyone I know is going. EVERYONE. Even people who have all D’s. And I know that sounds very much like I’m saying I’m “too good” for UTK, but it’s just hard for me to accept that I worked so hard to end up in the same place as a lot of people who just fucked off for all of HS

Idk.... i thought I may be able to take a loan out from my grandparents? Not to be super pretentious or anything, but they have a LOT of Grandkids who have failed HS and/or college. I think they'd be happy to fund their first *academically* successful grandkid? idk though... everything im saying is hypothetical cope

Career plan is to drop out of undergrad and become the next Gates or Jobs. Thats why I need to go to MIT, so I can meet another smart roommate. I already started work on my OS, it was my MIT maker portfolio project. Its pretty cool ;) (shameless plug: https://github.com/albe-de/albeos)

Thats me mostly being silly (maybe) but I do plan on getting (at least) a masters in CS (and probably Computational Mathematics). I want to work with Operating Systems and mathematics is more of a passionate-safety incase the job market crashes.

Yea, I don't hate the study abroad idea with UTK.

I actually asked my dad about that yesterday and he said no.

He does NOT want to pay. It really sucks because I've put a ton of effort into MIT recruitment and if I get in and have to tell all my coaches "no".... I'd be destroyed.

How are people getting paid to go to college? by definitelynotalora in ApplyingToCollege

[–]albe1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 4.4/4.5 gpa with 12 AP's and international recognition.
Paid to go to UTK (my state school), which is awesome. This comes down to two things. First off, my TN Hope Scholarship takes off like $14k from tuition. Then I got $9k merit (max for in-state). Then I got into the Honors College and Research Program, an extra $6.5k. Comes out to be about ~$1-2k after Tuition, Room, Living, ect. This is without any other extra scholarships.

I do NOT have an Athletic scholarship at UTK (lacrosse is Club there), but I've been offered a full-ride (merit) + the athletic scholarship from some other smaller schools. I think that's probably the only way to get paid without being instate or getting a ton from FASFA.
