I was offered my first scholarship yesterday.

[Sam]

And it was from a school I had previously never heard of. 

Chestnut Hill College? Ring any bells? Apparently it's in Philly. With over 10,000 students graduating since 1924. 

And it was an all-girls school up until a few years ago. Now it's about 75% girls.

Oh, and it's roman catholic. I'm going to go ahead and assume that's how they "discovered" me, considering I'm 99.99% positive I have the best grades of my church's seniors.

Well, they offered me a $13,000 a year scholarship, not including whatever I get from financial aid. And considering the college is only 20-25K... that's a lot. With my financial aid, I may very well be looking at the cheapest college I would have available to me. But I'm not going.

Have any of you college students turned down any good offers?

[Samus Aran]

No, I didn't get any offers because I didn't really do anything to get myself noticed by schools. I got ads from random colleges, but no scholarship offers.

Unless one of those ads had a scholarship attached. I dunno because I just threw them away.

[YPrrrr]

No, but I'll take Wisco over some obscure school any day

It's not even that. I don't even want to go to a big school. And I love philadelphia, so i might actually consider this school if it had anything I wanted. If I accept the scholarship, I'd have to go into computer science or computer engineering. I don't really know what I want to do for the rest o fmy life, but those weren't exactly my first choices.

It's not actually in Philly though is it? Must be miniscule if it is...

Philly's famously home to Villanova, Penn, Drexel, St. Joe's, La Salle and Temple

you're kind of too wittle right now to be considered for scholarshipsl just keep up with high-level classes and get good grades.

It's more that you express interest in a certain program in which you have the best grades in your school in that area of interest. I don't think that made sense. But I'm probably somewhere in the top 15 students in my class, certainly not number one (she's my second best friend, and got a full scholarship to UCONN already.) But because I'm a female and said something about wanting to go into engineering, shazam.
