All-state jazz choir results are out and floating around! I really want to get the email with all the reults in it, but the only kid I know that has it is the one that I was complaining about the other day.! ACK! And I really don't want to find out from him. I'll just wait until tomorrow at school to know, I guess.
BYU has been consistently moving in the direction of giving less scholarship money to more people (in addition to the 70% subsidy that all Mormon students get). So, yes. 150% of tuition is the most you're going to get, assuming you're not an athlete. It sounds like BYU's scholarship funds would be better spend on someone who'll actually appreciate it.Giovanni Schwartz wrote:BYU wants me to write essays for them to give me scholarships. I may do them, if only so I can say "BYU gave me X scholarship, but I turned it down to go to X college". Rather full of myself? Possibly. But honestly, even if I get the Monson, that's only tuition and a half. ASU will pay me $8,000 a year. That's after books, tuition, and everything else.

Yeah. Hence why I will go somewhere that will allow me to appreciate their money, because it will be enough to be worthwhile. ;DKatya wrote:BYU has been consistently moving in the direction of giving less scholarship money to more people (in addition to the 70% subsidy that all Mormon students get).

No, it sounds like that, but it's also what schools have the program I want, and according to BYU's application, it seems to me like they don't even have an engineering program at all. ASU, on the other hand, has one of the best mechanical engineering programs in the nation, which is what I want to go into, they are the closest to my house (I could live at home), and they will pay me enough money above and beyond tuition, books, etc, to pay for half of my mission in my first year of college without me doing a thing. It's just seeming like ASU is the right place for me. BYU is the right place for some people, and that's awesome, but ASU is where I think I should be going.

Um, I had a lot of friends who told me they came to BYU for the engineering department, so . . . I am not sure what happened there.
However, I also went to the school that gave me the most money. Vanderbilt would have been $30,000 a year (to become a teacher, no less), and BYU was free. There were other options in the middle, but those were my extremes.

You are joking, right? BYU has an awesome ME program! I should know! I'm in it! It is also a top ranked program, and has a lot of opportunity for undergrad research and a lot of room for really cool projects. BYU is a leader in UAV's, Isotruss design, and many other engineering specialties.Giovanni Schwartz wrote:No, it sounds like that, but it's also what schools have the program I want, and according to BYU's application, it seems to me like they don't even have an engineering program at all.
If you want to go to ASU, great for you. Just don't let it be about money.

Um, basically, yup.
My entire home ward in Ohio went to BYU every year. If they didn't go to BYU, they went inactive and were never seen again. Me being the independant teenager that I was, said that I would never go to BYU unless " I get a full ride or something", said with the sarcastic "when pigs fly" tone of voice. Then I got the full ride. I cried. And then I took that as a hint from God and came.

Hey Gio, you may want to take a look at some of these Just so you know a little bit more about the engineering program here.
