My fellow class of 08er's HOW ARE YALL FEELING???? Happy, relieved, stressed, worried, blank, confused..??? I know I for one thought this year was going to be the easiest year of my high chool career but.....I WAS WRONG . Its not even about the course load but the continuous preparation for college from the pressures of the standardized tests (ACT & SAT) to the anticipation of the applications already sent and if we are making the right choices in our pursuit of our post secondary education. So this is the spot to let it all out every drip drop of how your feeling right here and those who did early application submissions let us know where you got accepted and where you most definitely know you are going.
this year is way more stressful then it needs to be...i mean...i got in to the college of my choice but i can't get any money..in fact my sat score was 20 points away from qualifying...so im blown...i kinda feel like i busted my **** for the last couple years to raise my GPA up for nothin..im mean...my gpa ain't that vicious but its decent...3.7...i don't kno how imma pay...i been trynna do scholarship applications but....idk
Last semester went by faster than this one is going! I cant wait til May 23!
realsista4lyfe...i hope u get those scholarships....or maybe your financial aid/federal aid package will be good
Dang yall gettin ya freedom earlier than me....mines is May 29th....Im seriously gonna be an emotional wreck @ graduation lol 4 years of stress, drama, ridiculous DRESS CODE, prejudice teachers,.....and close friends, school pranks, crazy fights, beach days and skip days and its going to all be over..... Im hope Howard is nothing like high school in regard to the drama and the low maturity levels..... and like tons more better!!
I dunno what to let out! Am I stressed? Not really. Classes killing me? Not at all. Stupid research paper\senior project.. Grr. That angers me, yes lol... May 29th = Graduation.
Now what's irking me... Making my decision. I've been accepted to: Morehouse, Fort Valley, Tuskegee, Auburn, Univ. Florida, Embry-Riddle
Full ride to Tuskegee. NROTC to Morehouse. Full ride to Fort Valley. A little money from Embry Riddle.
But here's where I stand..
1) Univ of Florida 2) Morehouse + Ga Tech = 5 years, 2 degrees. Math\Comp Engineering. 3) Fort Valley + Tech = Same.
I wish Morehouse wasn't in Atlanta b\c I'd be there sooooo fast. I really want to leave home. BAD. I figure I'm going to base my decision on job placement. Once I find out which place gives me the best chance of working < 6months after graduation, I'll be ready to make a move..
Its all out!
Morehouse + Ga Tech = 5 years, 2 degrees. Math\Comp Engineering
My cousin was in this program.
It seems like a no-brainer to me; you graduate with 2 degrees from two different schools in less than half the time? I'd do it if I were you...
yeahh i'm in the same boat as you ; i kept on wondering..okay soo wat happens after ur fafsa has been processed
but i researched and asked around to my teachers. fafsa use's ur SAR, either sent electronically or by mail to evalute ur financial aid. around april and may, the colleges send you an "award" letter basically telling you if they are awarding you money to pay for ur expenses [ie: room & board, tuition..]
and its paid through grants, work-study, loans, etc.
i think i answered ur question ?
thanks..now thats the part that I understand the part that I have a problem with is that some of us just recived our acceptance letters. While some of us havent recived any letters at all yet. For the people who have gotten their letter housing apps are due...I know for one of my schools the deadline for housing is April but if I have not recived my financial aid yet how do I know if I should attend.

yeahh i understand what u mean about the housing deadline in April, but i guess there's nothing we can do about that..which very frustrating
