College, college, and more college!

I have literally 5 minutes before the bell rings for lunch... so sorry if its short. College stresses people out to much! It costs too much, and it's not like anyone actually has that much money so I don't see why its so high. Scholarships... whats up with colleges thinking everyone out there is smart?! Really after my hard work unless I get a 30 on my ACT, than I can kiss a full ride scholarship away, which I think is frankly dumb. I have a 4.0 GPA, and will graduate valedictorian, but unless I get a 30 or higher, I can't get a full ride scholarship. Whatever. Also since I want to go out of state for college if I go to Weber State, Utah State, or Boise State, I have to pay an arm and a leg to go there since I am not a resident. So unless I go to BYUI then I am screwed. I wanted to go to BYUI anyways but thought I would look at other schools, until I saw the prices for out of state tuition! and since I don't have a 30 on my ACT, I can't get a full ride scholarship to those schools. Luckily BYUI isn't the same g2g bell rang

Have you thought of moving to Idaho or Utah and working for 6 months first before starting college so you can get residency and qualify for the in-state tuition? That might be one way around the high cost of out of state tuition...

Yes, the thought crossed my mind, and i might end up doing that... I'm not sure yet though... i really need to pray about it and find out where the lord wants me to go, and if it is not at BYUI, then I am sure I will probably move somewhere and work for 6 monthes to get reesidency unless I can get a full tuition scholarship, then I won't need to worry about it... but we'll see.
