I was in National Junior Honor Society in Middle School. I was accepted into Duke TIP based on my SAT scores, and have just been accepted to their Law/CSI Summer Program. I was one of the 354 chosen.

I won the Grand Prize award in the science fair in middle school.

Based on this information, could I get into:

- University of Florida
- University of Miami
- University of Michigan/Michigan State
- Any Ivy Leagues? (what should I improve on to have a fighting chance?

Thank you for any help! It’s greatly appreciated!

You are a very good student! If you keep all of this up throughout high school and perform well on your SATs, I would definitely say you could get into an Ivy League. (as well as the ones you posted above.) Unfortunatley, the awards you won in middle school won’t count for much when you are applying to college, because they generally are only interested in activities you have done in the last 3 years or so. (But like I say, if you keep it up, you will have no trouble) One thing I would suggest is getting involved in community service, because that really stands out for colleges and will set you apart from other applicants. It is so great that you are thinking about this now- be on the look out for teachers who you might want to write you a recommendation. (While that won’t be for a few years, it is good to form a rough list) Other than that, keep going as you have been and you will be just fine. Enjoy high school as much as you can and good luck!

Right now I am in high school, but one day I hope to own my own business, a restaurant or hotel. I have a 4.06 GPA and am already taking many AP and other advanced classes as a sophomore. I hope to major in business management (or something along those lines) and minor in either psychology or culinary. What colleges would you recomend?

I would like to stay in the state of GA though, so I can get the HOPE.

Also, how many other scholarships do you think I could get, because i don’t have a college savings account?
Also, what are some extra classes i could take in high school to help me out in college?

I am already taking culinary and am planning on taking ap statistics and ap calculus my junior and senior years.

UCSD

My dream college is in Florida. It's called Johnson & Wales. I live in Michigan. My parents are worried about the finances. I have some scholarships, but they won't cover the whole cost. My family is middle class, both parents in the home with pretty decent jobs so you can imagine that my federal money isn't that large. I need help! I've applied for scholarships, but my grades are just okay so that doesn't really help. I have a 3.3 GPA and I got a 20 on the ACT. I am very active at my school and in my community. My passion is Culinary Arts/business. I really want to go away to college, but I just don't have the means to pay for it. What do you suggest?

I never knew that they had so many campuses – I was only aware of the one in Rode Island – Wow…

Anyway nothing can stand in the way of you going to school and fulfilling your dreams & goals, so no matter what do not get fustrated or discuraged. There are many resources out there for one to go to school, but it may take time and patience to find them, or for those avenues to open up.

At this point it sounds like your only recourse will be a student loan, which are readily available. I just returned to school myself to pursue a degree in Graphic Design, and what I did was call the admissions office and they helped me find the financeing for school. That may work for you as well – I mean they really bend over backwards becasue they want you to attend their school.

Good luck in your quest!

ok…so i just got a call from the admissions at le cordeon bleu culinary institute…which is one of the best culinary schools in th US. if i have the chance to go there it would be…well the chance of a lifetime for me.

the only problem…im completely broke, and my mom cant help me pay for school. im a junior this year and am homeschooled.

what are some options for student loans, scholarships, and what not that i could apply for?

and if anyone has advice as to what i can do to prepare for culinary school in general…that would be amazing =]

You should complete the FAFSA, which stands for Federal Application For Student Aid. The government will assess your "expected family contribution" based on your mother's income and offer you a combination of loans/grants/work study (if applicable). The website is fafsa.ed.gov

Also, try fastweb.com. There is a very comprehensive scholarship search.

Get into contact with your school's financial aid office.

The fact that you have been home-schooled makes you unique, and there may be scholarships out there for home-schooled students!

Good luck!!
