how do you do these trills i’m so lost. after 13 years of playing piano i still cannot figure out trills and even if i play it “right” it just sounds like i messed up or my finger slipped..
When I got removed off the waitlist for architecture a few days back, I was in disbelief. I’ve never felt so strongly about something before. It took me so long to convince my parents that this was a good idea (I’m currently in the south so they would be flying me across the country which, as the youngest in the family, is really scary for them..) but they finally said yes to one of the top architecture programs in the country, and I committed last night!!! Still feels so unreal. I‘m so freaking excited, I’ve never been to Virginia before but it looks absolutely breathtaking. I feel so much more confident in my future now it makes me want to cry but in a good way. Wait for me in VA you guys! Let’s go Hokies!!!!!!!
I am a high school senior in a middle class family which means we have enough money to surpass the financial aid barrier but not enough to afford most private schools/out of state tuitions without taking out loans. Applied to the b.arch program, got into two of my dream schools (risd, vt) and one of my safeties (ou) but now I’m facing a financial dilemma between them.
Received 68k scholarship for OU out of state. I liked the campus, hate the weather, not sure about the people and I feel that there’s a stigma around the high acceptance rate and how noncompetitive the program is compared to the other two. Also it’s not really known for it’s architecture program.
Received 36k for Virginia Tech out of state. One of the top public schools nationwide for its b.arch, but the OOS tuition is a bit much for a public school. Love the school spirit, gothic mountainous vibe of the campus, am in contact with some of the other incoming freshmen there, I like that it’s away from home for the exact reason my parents don’t.
I have four days to decide. I was so set on VT as soon as I found out I got off the waitlist a few days back, but now not so sure about anything really. My goal post-undergrad is to work in a firm somewhere up north and eventually move to the UK to complete grad school.
I understand in order to do this I need to avoid putting myself in debt..but I also know I worked so hard these past several years to get into my dream uni only to find out I might not even be able to afford it, or that I would have to give up something so costly to do so?
