Hello,

I've been accepted to Kettering University in Flint, Michigan. (I've also been accepted to UW-Madison, UF, UMCP, & Georgia Tech). All I know about the school is that it has a strong co-op program.

As an incentive to attend, they have awarded me a pretty hefty scholarship and they are really putting on the pressure by calling and mailing stuff every day. What's more, they keep demanding that I respond during the next 2 weeks and let them know whether or not I will definitively be attending in January but I'm afraid that if I send my tuition deposit and confirm my housing contract, that I'd be held contractually obligated to attend Kettering.

This is all well and good, except that the other univerisities have yet to send me their financial aid statements and I can't make a final decision until then. What's more, as a native Floridian, attending the University of Florida may be cheaper than attending the private Kettering University (even after the scholarship!).

Please, somebody help! What are my options?!

Are you female?
I see some info that indicates they have a disporportionate # of males to females.
That may influence your decision
