Patience is key, not applying on the opening date does not mean you won’t get in. Trust the process
ONE HAS TO HIT
Honestly, I have to say one thing if there wasn’t a max at $400,000 on the scholarships amount that I am able to input, they would be higher.
This process kinda sucks but you’ll get through it. Try not to obsess too much and realize you can do great things no matter where you attend
Take time doing your applications. Make sure you’re eating and taking breaks and not just plowing through. It’s easy to make stupid mistakes.
