Unless you're rich as hell, you're staying in your own state.

actually i am ahead of my class in nearly every subject also doing something called a scholars program that looks good on transcripts and basically sets you up for the highest level classes you can take in HS and i believe that i saw some packages cover $16k of the $27k tuition, yes ivy league

Plus Fire, everyone that applies to ivy league schools have "good grades" That's not what they're looking for. It's volunteer work, etc. |

ok well seeing as how i have around a 3.9 unweighted GPA right now after 1 semester of grading (we do it in quarters as well so that's 1 B and 13 A's out of 14 possible grades)
and im going to take 4 AP classes next year while skipping a level of world language and going into an honors class for sophomores
im looking at at least a 4.7, i would hope |

You don't get it, nvm. What I'm trying to say is, there's way more money involved in college than your tuition.

1 AP class alone is a ton of work.
But 4?
Do you know what you are getting yourself in to? |

whoaaa Lol You're definitely gonna need more than $500 for books, and DEFINITELY way more than $300 for food.
Both of those categories will be in the thousands. And transportation? Gas? Forget that. That's not it either. |
