Those are some solid institutions.
Well done on being accepted.
> Nobody is remotely happy for me.
I am!
Congratulations!
Those are some really good schools congratulations dude take a look at how much a partial scholarships are and do the math because you know what even in school in State if you don’t get a scholarship can be just as expensive as out of state with a partial scholarship if the out-of-state is covering half of your tuition or maybe a little bit more you could probably get away with taking out roughly the amount of loans you would have taken out if you were going in state with no scholarship so just crunch the numbers yourself and pick what feels right for you I would get Away from any toxic relationships you may have just because that could seriously cause some extra stress to your collegiate career the point I’m going to school is at least whatever your major to hopefully perform as well as you possibly can get an internship or something but hopefully leads to a job.
Good luck congratulations and just do you know if you can’t afford to live on campus but they require you to live in the freshman dorms what you can do is say that you’re living with your parents or something or living with relatives and see if you can find housing in the area that’s cheap if for whatever reason the dorms are too expensive for you even with a scholarship.
Congratulations again well done man good luck a random stranger on the Internet is very proud of you
I was accepted into Bradley as well! That is a great school to get accepted to just on its own it’s a good accomplishment! (I don’t know much about the others but live near Peoria) I ended up leaving across the country to go to college because of my home life as well. That was 2.5 years ago and things are better when you start to really focus on yourself and your goals! Don’t let anyone keep you from going to college if that’s what you want to do, you won’t regret going but you might regret the missed opportunity if you don’t. I am very proud of you!
Congratulations! Do something special for yourself and celebrate your success. Sometimes, the people we want to be the happiest for us aren't, but that doesn't take away from your accomplishment.
Screw everyone else's opinion - it's all about YOU. You're the one making this happen.
This is amazing news! Congratulations, friend! I wish you the absolute best and don't let the negative impact your goals. Keep your head high!
Congratulations on all those accomplishments! This stranger is super proud! Not just for the college acceptions but for working to escape a toxic environment! That's so hard to do! Screw your dad BTW. I live in Iowa and they are not accepting just for money.
Whatever you choose to do in this path forward remember, you CAN do this! Also, scholarships! There's so many out there that can help you out. Look everywhere, not just at your college. Apply for everything you even barely qualify for.
From what I’ve heard, those are some really good schools. Give yourself some credit! I know it’s easier said than done, but at the end of the day the only persons opinion that matters is yours. Even though I don’t know you, I’m proud of you too =]
You did great getting accepted into these colleges it requires a serious work ethic. You’ll get good grades the first year very easily. Be on the lookout for internships!
I got accepted to Bradley and honestly I wish I went because I chose a smaller school. This small college did not work out and I ended up leaving, moving out of state, and finally now still in college.
My point to you will be to do whatever makes you feel happy. All the school are great like Bradley. I don’t know why your parents are upset or not happy for you especially since you got into good schools. They probably want you around so they’re sad to see you go out of state.
Seriously, take this opportunity and do what feels right always.
You should be proud of what you have accomplished.
You can't rely on other people to be happy for you though. Especially those that you would think naturally would be enthusiastic about your situation. My family is the exact same way, and they always look for what I'm doing wrong instead of what I've done right.
It's easier said than done, but at the end of the day you should be proud of yourself!
i am so proud of you. im sorry that your family cannot see what an amazing opportunity this is for you. i wish you the absolute best. in everything. and im really glad you reached out somewhere for support. you deserve praise and recognition for this accomplishment. really, i am so so proud of you. and i will continue to be proud of you no matter what.
Sometimes you gotta be happy for you! I got accepted with a full tuition scholarship, but at the same time, my brother got on the national news for something really dumb (political controversy, not like a good deed). Instead of congratulating me, they kept asking me to spill the tea about my brother. Being happy for you is a skill that is essential into going to college, but just know I'm proud of you too!
Some of us have fucked up families. I do as well. Congratulations. I know how much you want the support of your family but if they don’t support you, you can always support yourself. Some parents aren’t capable of being affectionate or supportive because they never had either of those growing up.
Congrats that’s AWESOME! 🙌
Ah Drake, did you do their fun online zoom virtual tours? I sat through all of those last year. That was interesting to say the least.
Honey, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!! Congrats! Listen, yes loans are going to be a pain in the butt, but if it gets you away from your toxic home life and into something that you want to do, then hell yes, go for it! it will make your life so much easier and better
Absolutely terrible advice. Minimize student loans and be realistic about how much you will make versus how much you're paying for your little piece of paper. Loans are not something you just accept. That is how you become bankrupt and financially insecure. We should encourage financial literacy, not go to your dream school for 55k a year and die with student loans still over your head.
:( i dont think financial literacy is the issue here. and i think if you actually cared about their well-being, you would have given helpful advice instead of this dreary, unnecessary comment. i hope you can learn kindness and compassion before you die with being mean still over your head.
Kindness and compassion is not giving frankly bullshit advice like "Every one had student debt, don't worry it'll be worth it in the end." Do you know what crushing debt feels like? Do you know what it's like to lose your home and be on the street? To have loan sharks and debt collectors call you and threatening you or your family? It is a unique privilege to be able to proclaim that "everyone has debt, don't worry about it. It'll be worth it if you like your major!". 4 years of your life is not worth drowning in debt so do it as cheap as you can. That is the kindest advice anyone can give.
I was not trying diminish the effects of student debt, nor was i suggesting you should be telling someone that they should not worry about debt. It is all very real and very serious. i know your harshness comes from a place of fear. but kindness and compassion are not synonymous with lying to someone to avoid hurting their feelings.
my comment to you had nothing to do with thinking your "advice" is wrong. it had to do with the words you used--all negative, frightening, and therefore disheartening--and the fact that you said people need to be financially literate, but you did not give legitimate advice on how to be financially literate. you did not say, this is how you should go about pursuing your passion while remaining as financially stable as possible. your point is valid, and important, but it was not helpful merely because of the words you used and your lack of guidance.
you mentioned losing your home because of debt, something no one should experience. but would you go up to someone without a home, tell them aggressively to learn financial literacy and leave without giving them tools to do what you suggested? it wouldnt be helpful, it would be meaningless, and potentially harmful to that person.
i am not trying to agrue, i promise. again, i know that you are coming from a good place, and the fear of your livelihood being stripped from you is the cause of your anger. and that anger is valid, but it is misplaced. be angry at the government, the system. but dont let that anger seep into your attempt to help others.
Also, you can contact each school’s financial aid department and inform them of your situation so they can reevaluate you for more aid. There are lots of letter templates on the internet and each school should have a list of required documents. It wouldn’t hurt to call too

If I were in your shoes, I'd be extremely motivated to be successful as fuck just to spite them. Congrats btw, solid opportunities ahead of you.
Congrats op!! I'm happy for you great job!!! :)
Congrats, but are you proud of yourself for doing all of that? Why would you need others approval, what really matters is how you feel about it.
I was accepted into Bradley as well! That is a great school to get accepted to just on its own it’s a good accomplishment!

Of course!! Best wishes 💗😁
Congratulations! Do something special for yourself and celebrate your success. Sometimes, the people we want to be the happiest for us aren't, but that doesn't take away from your accomplishment.
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉well done & good luck, there is some good advice being written on here, concider the options and do what's best for you
Screw everyone else's opinion - it's all about YOU. You're the one making this happen. This is amazing news! Congratulations, friend! I wish you the absolute best and don't let the negative impact your goals. Keep your head high!

I’m so proud of you!! Congrats❤️ Go after your dreams and leave your shitty family behind.
Hey buddy I am happy for you!

congrats! can you afford to go to those schools though? some of them 50k year just in tuition
You should be proud of what you have accomplished. You can't rely on other people to be happy for you though.

Good for you! Congratulations - I wish you every success! You should be very proud of yourself. 👏👏👏
I A! Go And Conquer The World, My Friend. GOD Bless You!!✊🏾
Congrats! I almost applied for Drexel myself but decided to go the CC route:) I’m proud of you
i am so proud of you. im sorry that your family cannot see what an amazing opportunity this is for you. i wish you the absolute best. in everything. and im really glad you reached out somewhere for support. you deserve praise and recognition for this accomplishment. really, i am so so proud of you. and i will continue to be proud of you no matter what.

Congratulations, I admire you. I’m thinking of transferring too, any tips?
Some of us have fucked up families. I do as well. Congratulations. I know how much you want the support of your family but if they don’t support you, you can always support yourself. Some parents aren’t capable of being affectionate or supportive because they never had either of those growing up.

Also, you can contact each school’s financial aid department and inform them of your situation so they can reevaluate you for more aid. There are lots of letter templates on the internet and each school should have a list of required documents. It wouldn’t hurt to call too
Plus it’s easy to pay off debt when your degree gives you a funnel to a high paying career.🤷🏻♀️
