Education & Reference - 8 November 2007

I'm a senior in high school and I've always wondered:

Why does society make it hard to get a career without a college degree? Why make college so expensive if you want us to go so bad? I know there are scholarships out there and financial aid or whatever, but what about the people who can't get either? What are your thoughts?

I am a straight A student, I rank 15th out of 850 students, I am treasurer of NHS, and I am involved with many other community service projects and organizations. I have been involved with athletics for all four years of highschool as well, and I was named first-team academic all state for volleyball. I scored a 31 composite on my ACT and a perfect score on the English section; however, I did not do as well on my SATs and I did not retake them because I scored so well on the ACT. I recently had my Harvard alumni interview and I feel that it went very well. I am from Indiana and Harvard only receives about 30 applications each year from my state and I am studying politics which not many kids in IN study . I am a triplet so I believe that it makes me stand out. However, I am still worried about my SAT scores and I really want to know truthfully if I have a chance of getting in. Will they look at my ACT score over the SAT score; what are my chances of being accepted? Thanks!!!

I have been awarded enough financial aid to go to school full time, pay my bills, but in the end I'll be at least $20,000 in debt. If I go slower, I don't need as much money to pay my bills because I can work full time at the same time. Everyone says to take the loans and I am afraid to ruin my life for the future. It's a very big decision, so I've decided to do what every sane person would..ask Yahoo....

I have a BS in Human Resources Management. But I want to go back to school and pursue something different. I think I used up the maximum amount of federal student loans I can get for undergraduate credits. Are there any other options for me other than trying to pay out of pocket??
