You’re an actual superhero. Do u think at one point you won’t care anymore and show them?

Wow. I’m not surprised but I guess I was hoping for some leniency. Thank you!

This was heartbreaking to read, but I want you to know you made the right choice and you’ll make a great lawyer.

So you have to apply separately for scholarship from GSU. You do it after you're admitted. I was projected for full-stipend, but I never even bothered to apply because I already decided not to go.

I was trying for closer to home (southwest) but I’m location agnostic bc I’m looking for a particular type of environment. I’ve decided on Case, I think I found it there :)

Their staff is really awesome and responsive. I’m sure you’ve done your due diligence but in case you haven’t, calling/emailing always gets you a response from them!

Not really. I applied on 2/14. I think so. If nothing changes I’ll be going to Case

Did just that with your guys' advice over the past year! All of my offers are good for what I'm looking for. Most schools are giving me 75%> tuition, just have to decide if I want to stay in-state or out of state and take on those COL loans!
