jedusorI just got a letter from Rockhurst. It basically says, "Hi, congrats for being a member of Phi Theta Kappa! You should get your bachelor's degree here! If you fill out and send in the enclosed application (which, by the way, you don't have to pay for like everybody else does) you can have $5500 per year. If you bring up your GPA two-thirds of a point, you can have $7000 per year. This is, of course, in addition to the $2000 per year you already get from PTK. Have a nice day!"
Now, I'm not going to Rockhurst. First, it's a Jesuit school, and second, it's in Kansas City. But... this means I might get similar letters from schools I actually want to go to. I just looked up Rockhurst's tuition fees, and it costs $18,900 per year to go there. Nine thousand dollars is nothing to sneeze at.
And I just spent some time twiddling around with my GPA. If I get As in French and English, even if I get a C in math, it'll be 3.75 after this semester. If I manage an A in math (not likely, but hey) it'll be 3.87. I'm not too worried about my French grade- if I get another C on the next test, it'll be a different matter, but I think I'm putting in enough effort to pull it up.
Damn. I might be able to pull off this whole college thing, after all.
(BTW, anyone want a fee-waived application to Rockhurst?)
