Am I putting all eggs in one basket?
I'm a rising HS junior who is interested in either IB, HF, PE, or management consulting as a career choice. Because of in-state prices in California, my two priority schools are Berkeley (where I already have an attending sibling) and UCLA. However, I'm worried that by only really focusing on these two, more so with Berkeley, I'm taking a bit of a risk if I end up rejected by both. There are out-of-state colleges I would attend, and plan on applying to, such as Notre Dame and UMich, but the cost factor is outweighing everything else. I'm doing as much as I can to leverage myself with Berkeley, ex. internship with local consulting firm, as many extracurriculars as I can manage, but it's still a worrying thought that affects so much of my career. Is there anything I should be doing to reconcile my options?
just apply to more schools - then make a decision
Thanks for the answer. This is my current outlook, just apply to a bunch, and let things happen, I want to make sure I'm doing all I can.
At least you found WSO this early - you’ll be fine.
A lot of schools that are targets and not state schools pay for 100% demonstrated financial need so if cost is an issue then focus on your state schools and apply exclusively to our-of-state schools that will give you need-based aid
Thanks. I'll look into which of these would offer it.
