When do you find out how much FAFSA we got?

 

hahahahaha dang... i know youre at least my age or older now!
they changed it in Feb of 1994! i took the last single test on my 18th birthday!

i cant even imagine how hard it would be to gt into college now. i remember freaking out back then, but with everything going on these days its damned near impossible.

GOOD LUCK to everyone and hope you get your choice school!!!

 

you can check on fafsa right now. the number they give you is the amount that you have to pay. just log onto fafsa.

i just got a full ride to Davis

 

I feel bad for you guys deciding on which colleges, etc. I have so many friends right now that graduated this year with no jobs and just a lot of debt. These guys came from top notch schools too.. UCB, UCSD, etc. My little brother is at UCI right now and I worry for him due to our economic troubles. I had a chance to go to UCI and chose SJSU because it was more economical for me and the education is almost the same except you don't get the whole 'college experience.' COMMUTER SCHOOL FTMW! Not

 

Man, I remember highschool.. The 80's... Those were the dayz!!

 

damnn i could do senior year all over again i would be a freakin slacker and get bad grades.

when i was in senior year i had it all together:
4.0 gpa highschool

4.2gpa w/ my college classes that i took along side highschool etc calc, history

secatary of keyclub

was a full time active member of the engineering club, rotary club, video game club, spanish club

won several scholarships,

before i left i had a internship with B.A.R.T in the traction power department, a internship at crongress mike tompson's office,

had 250+hrs of community service

helped create my school's basket ball team, I went to a small school called New Tech High and we didnt have any sports

and in leadership as tech liaison for 2 years

and freakin had 24 college units under my belt

well I applied for schools i asked for UCD, UCB, UCI, UCR, UCL and becasue my cousin went to Johnson and Wales university in the east coast i didnt have to pay to send my stuff to them.

we go my results and had 5 letters of disferral and got into johnson and wales, my friend on the other hand, 3.2gpa nothing much under his belt he was aiming for the community college. this guy gets into alll my schools but UCB but got into everything i was like wow.

But yeah go to school and do good, when you do good you'll get recognized soon enough.

 

You young people driving wrx's and STi's, not even in college. You need a role model!

Advise: Study hard, don't party (too hard), get good grades, graduate top of your class. Then you have your kush job, because you studied your *** off. This is when you party. Don't mess up your college life just cause you think it is about having fun. Fun is when you have enough money to support yourself after college. Not "Oh I had so much fun in college, and now I have no job".

 

Sorry pet peeve of mine:
basketball not basket ball

Que?

we go my results and had 5 letters of disferral (not a word) and got into johnson and wales, my friend on the other hand, 3.2gpa nothing much under his belt he was aiming for the community college. this guy gets into alll my schools but UCB but got into everything i was like wow.

 

UCI is a commuter school, I hope you know that. : )

 

I can regretfully say I was the biggest slacker in HS. I was sent to three of those 'warning' orientations where they tell you if you cut again, they will fine your parents and take away your driver's license. My Physics teacher used to say "Oh hey it's Jonathan. It must be a Wednesday."

I had mostly honor classes but never put any effort and paid for it in college (literally). I was just not ready to commit myself to schooling until maybe a year ago. I'm in my 4th year of college now and have 2 more years to go.

Learn from my mistakes and do well in HS because it really does get you ready. At my company they just hired 2 more positions that could've been mine if I had graduated on time and would've made 3x what I'm making right now. Instead, I'm working, going to school, and paying the high tuition costs at State.

I may sound bitter but I'm not. Life is all about experiences.

 

Really? My lil bro seems to like it there.. he actually stays at school and knowing him.. that's pretty astonishing.

 

^ really good advice here. i'm 29, went to UCSD, partied alot and did terrible there. i really regret not studying harder. but at the end of the day i feel lucky enough to have a good degree that can get me a job i *kinda* want. i honestly feel that if i had worked harder i'd be in a more financially secure place today. i guess its good to know this moving forward.

 

yeah, I did the same thing in my early years, but turned it around when someone else older than me told me what I just posted. So I feel compelled to pass it along. Hopefully it will get through to someone.


What college did you go to? I was in Revelle for a year, and I hated UCSD so much I left

 

Yeah I went there. On Friday campus = dead. I know the Dean of Student, and the Vice Chancellor, if he gets into trouble let me know. ;P

 

Hahaha nice. I'll def. keep that in mind and you better keep your word! My brother is a handful.. no joke. He's one of those asian thuggie kids that has potential. He told me the other day that a whole frat is looking for him :x

He's changed quiet a bit the whole year he's been there and is actually trying but he still can't quite stay out of trouble.
