So thirty one days from now, we will all be making one of the most important decisions of our lives…what school we will be attending in the fall. May 1 is National Candidate Reply Date.  So as March comes to a close and April springs upon us, the financial aid packages are filling our mailboxes.  As of today, I have only received award letters from two schools - that I know I have ruled out from going to.  However, I’m waiting on my top two schools to send me their financial aid offer.

Since February, I have had my mind set on what school I wanted to go to and play lacrosse at (it’s one of the two I still haven’t gotten an award letter from!).  My other school that I haven’t heard back from is really just a fall back school for me. Unfortunately, I recently found out that my fall back school’s lacrosse coach has been trying to get in touch with me about playing at their school, and is looking to offer me a scholarship.  So, just when I thought I knew my decision, everything changes.

Frustrated, but hanging in there,

Lauryn
