If we did that it would be better if she went to Olympic College in WA state for their RN program and then transferred to UW or WSU for their BSN program.
Guess we should consider it. Personally I'd rather she go to YSU for the 4 years experience.

Come up with a way to get her to insist Youngstown is her choice.Originally Posted by Storekeeper
Subliminal messages should work.
Good luck.
Sorry about that. Missed the two follow up posts.
One thing that I've noticed is that when I'm in Cambodia or Laos I see the groundfloor of town houses open and young kids in there studying maths or science or English with a teacher in the evenings. Especially in Cambodia where it's almost every second townhouse is a place of learning in the evening.
All happy and interested, respecting and understanding that it's beneficial to their future.
I've never seen it in Thailand, where of course all Thais know everything and need to learn nothing because they and He the Genius are so great and Godlike in their cocoon of Thailand.
Thailand, Burma, Laos and Cambodia is going to be interesting region in 20-30 years time.
Last last night after reading back into this thread I remembered AO told me a while back basically that reason wasn't going to work ... like his case my wife and daughter are going to do whatever they want to do no matter what I say. So it's going to be UW or WSU no matter the sweet deal YSU offered.

Mine turned down scholarship money from Claremont McKenna which pissed me off as well. Now that its all done I am hurting. But "Where there is a will there is a way". I/We have made it this far.
You have give me food for thought but I skyped my mob before the girls have their mates dancing in the living room
The young lads are going nuts on the trampoline outside the old ones are eating in the kitchen the air con is drowning in the background
They are happy as fuck
I can't give them that in the UK
It's a nice life for a Thai if you have money friends and food
Simply perfect for them
If they have a brain between them they can come to this rat race in the UK
If not papa will provide
One thing I've failed to mention is it's as clear as day on the WSU website that they require all applicants to apply by January 31, 2016 on a single link for over 700 various scholarships ... of course somebody missed it.
For now we're basically in a holding pattern to see if UW accepts her ... I'd sure as hell be proud if she got accepted but at the same time it's the most expensive of the bunch.
How did filling out the FAFSA go for you? I dread it every year. Next year no damn last minute shit.
My girl got her first rejection notice. She wasn't accepted into the University of Washington. The school mentioned in their letter that 53,000 applied and only 6,500 were accepted.
So, Washington State University it will be and the application story ends there. Gotta get scheduled for a 2.5 day orientation in July, move into the dormitory on 16 August and classes start the 22nd.
Ah, that's a bummer, but at least she will be in school. Even though not the one she wanted
^ I don't know what's going on inside her head but the rejection letter was a good lesson for her. You don't always get what you want.
Well, good on her, going to WSU.
Yes, Youngstown would have been cheaper but....decisions can be different.
She could (I assume) take out some of the cost with her own FAFSA loan if necessary.
This is something I know very little about and have concerns because she is not a US citizen. Can green card holding resident aliens get these student loans? Do I have to co-sign?Originally Posted by Black Heart
OK, I assume she was a US citizen.
I have not idea, but I know of a thread on FAFSA that is very good.
I'll check there (another forum).

That's a bit unfair. I've seen loads of Thai kids sitting in that Japanese bookstore in Emquartier crosslegged on the floor reading English books. Great to see.Originally Posted by Luigi
My step-daughter has never been a book worm. Maybe Thai books for a short period of time but never English books.
Seriously, she's put very little effort into school. She goes to class, never skips schools, pays attention in class, does her home work, takes the quizzes. Sure, I'm proud of her and having adapted to the American school system. At the same time I think it's pretty darned easy to maintain an overall 3.00 GPA.
IMHO if she approaches university the same way she has high school most likely she'll find it a little more difficult to achieve a 3.00 GPA quite as easily but I doubt it will take all that much extra effort to be right around that same GPA.
