well since you asked, applying as an aviation major i was accepted at my current school Lewis university with a scholarship for just under half the total tutition, university of north dakota, southen illinois university, western michigan, and embry-riddle. you can go ahead and research those on your own and you tell me if there was a challange in that.

NismoPick

Avation major? Around here if you can stay sober and pay for flight hours, you can get your aviation degree.

The school isn't all that important for a Bachelors, it's when you go for a Masters or Doctorate that it is important.

snwbrderphat540

lol, in the discriminating career of aviation degree and school is everything, folowed by their own tests, learning process and your hours in what situations (IFR, multi, any turbine, cross country, dual, PIC, etc.) and your ratings. thats like saying its not hard to get into U of I for engineering. lol.

KasbeKZ

i got into ODU for engineering! bitchin yea! woot woot!
and 5 schools? that racks up the app fees man!

snwbrderphat540

meh w/e i was happy, was a proud moment. lol, but now i dont know how it feels to be rejected by anything other than a woman..... lol

KasbeKZ

i got into the last school that i applied to. VCU. that's 2 for 3! it was my first choice, but i'm so exited now that i can't decide between the two!!! i got in, just not to the engineering major that i wanted. only general admission. so, it's either my 3rd choice school in my intended major, or my first choice school in general admission, hoping that i can switch to engineering in the second year...

at any rate, i'm pretty f-ing exited. i'm going to college!!!!!!

NismoPick

Which engineering program were/are you going for?

KasbeKZ

mechanical. i got it at one school, i'll just have to try again at the other

NismoPick

Nice. I did two semesters of ME... and decided it was way too much for me. If you're good at math (calc, dynamics, etc) then you're set!

KasbeKZ

yea i'm ok with it. if i work hard enough. but it's really the only subject that interests me, so i'm going to make it work.

z-hag

my grandfather was a mechanical engineer----he invented the atomic cannon and worked out the ballistics problems with it with tesla and after he retired, built grandfather clocks.....the woodwork and the clockworks..........saluditorian from rensselear polytechnic institute...and pres of the "brain trust " frat in the day----theta chi----...my dad went there for chemical engineering. good school ......met my mom when he pledged the brain trust frat and had to have dinner at the pres's home.......loooooong time ago.......good luck in school, boyzzzz.......do yer homewerks, and mevbbe with luck, you might do as well as me grandpop........he was a cool dude.........

KasbeKZ

wow. you come from a pretty smart family! i certainly will try

KasbeKZ

i just found out that i get no financial aid from either school that i've been accepted to. and the one that i want to go to doesn't even offer loans that can wait 4 years to be paid back. so al in all, i'm short about 3-4K a year, even if i am working. selling the Z and going no car takes care of the first 2 years i guess, but that is terrible. and it limits my job options

any advise on how to pick up the last bit of money for college? even if it is a loan? and i'm not thinking about the military anymore, not since i realized that the 20K bonus was because they want to send you to iraq.

i am applying for quite a few scholarshiips, but i didn't exactly try that hard in high school, and i don't like sports, so i'm not too eligable for most of them...

NismoPick

There's tons of companies that do student loans... just make sure they are well known (check w/ BBB) and make sure they will defer payment AND interest until after you grad. Start w/ your local bank & ask them if they do student loans, and if not, who they recommend.

BoulderZ

Viriginia's got a ton of resources for paying for college:

http://www.schev.edu/Students/PayForCollege.asp
Make sure to check all the places they list, if you haven't already. Like NismoPick said, you can always go the private company route for student loans (bottom of the first page has a link to Fastweb, a good way to find private student loans).
good luck!

KasbeKZ

yea i've filled out a bit of scholarships from fastweb. thanks for the advise. someone else has suggested trying the bank too. i didn't know they might do that. thanks a lot for the links. i'll check them out. i've got to find someway

snwbrderphat540

ever see the movie 21? there's your answer.

KasbeKZ

tonsoffun300zx

just rob a bank but wear a clinton mask and cheat on your wife

KasbeKZ

wow if i was eating i would have spit out my food lol. yea that's the next option

tonsoffun300zx

or a Nixon mask and yell"i am not a crook" as you run out of the bank with a big bag of money(but don't forget your sharpie, it's cooler to draw a big money sign on the bag)
