Is a top school that costs around 50,000 per year worth it? Say any ivy league school for someone who wants to enter the finance industry or management/strategy consulting.

is it worth it if you have to get loans?

and how much aid would you expect for a family with a yearly income of $200,000 and two kids in college.

I hate being middle class. The middle class gets screwed over for financial aid.

The student would have to pass at least 14 courses (56 semester credits) at St. Norbert and fulfill all lower and upper biennium requirements and successfully complete the requirements of a major. A minor would not be required unless the major program involves teacher certification

If you send in a movie with your application about how well you think you would fit into the school ad how well it would fit you, will it help your chances? Will they even watch it?
Should I do it, or is it a waste of time?

I didn't really try hard in school. I have a culminative GPA of 2.3. I'm heading towards the end of the first semester of my junior year.

Now, if I get a 4.0 next semester coming up, and 4.0 in my senior first semester, can I get into Maryland? This year I take AP World History, AP English, Precal, Physics, Hon Chem, Philosophy. In my senior year I'm planning to take AP US History, AP European history, AP Human Geography, Latin American History, African American History, History of MIddle East, and Medieval History. I will take AP Eng and AP stat the preceding summer. Can I get into Maryland with this, if I get 4.0?

I am 23 and I am currently involved in a post bacc pre med program at a local college. I just graduated with a BA in zoology and am finding that my passion for creative writing (outside the genre of science) has taken over my passion for medicine. Where can I go from here? I was thinking about getting a masters in creative writing but am terrified of the aspect of struggling to make it in a competative industry. What options do I have and where can I gain experience while applying to school?

I'm in my 4th year of college with only enough credits to barely be a junior. After freshman year things just sort of got stale. I lost interest and patience. I despised lectures, and felt they were a waste of my time for the most part. Professors didn't care, and didn't remember my name. I thought transferring to smaller school would help, but if anything it's worse now. I feel like my time would be better spent actually learning on my pace and level instead of a one size fits all approach.

Long story short, I came into college on a full ride scholarship because of my 32 ACT score. Now I have $20,000+ in student loan debt and almost $5,000 in credit card debt. I'm sure to lose all financial aid next trimester. I may be put on academic probation and have to leave regardless.

I know where I want to be. I want to be in info/network security or general unix system administration. But how do I get there with all my school debt looming over me and no degree to show for it?
