*sigh* it depends on what you want out of school.. a good time with your friends, or the POSSIBILITY of a stronger chance of making a better future for your wallet. i say go with the friends, and make up for it in college. because, in college, you can always party... always... and when there's no party, the books will be there. in high school, you can't always party. why? because parents stilll pwn.

Friends. A prestigious school isn't important, there's a quarter billion people in this country, and you're likely a cut above almost all of them as is. Don't laze off, but remember, high school and college are a part of your life, too. Do you want them and your work years to be like my mom's, mostly just slaving away over and over, where "good times" means a little less of the bad times? The trick is to strike a sweet spot between success and happiness. You can be mildly-highly successful and be very happy with how your life is, like my dad is. Or be highly succesful like my mom is, making business trips all of the time, but she has to sit down the night before a trip to my grandma's and think of topics to discuss with her own mother. She has fun, but overall, she doesn't seem to be as happy as my dad is. She comes home and plugs away on the laptop 'til midnight or 2 am, goes to sleep until 6, wakes up tired, goes back to work and plugs away all over again. My parents are going to be well-off in their old age because of her, but they won't be as mobile at 56 (when they're planning on retiring at the moment) as they were earlier, when she could have taken a slight cut in pay and had a far less stressful job, had more time to enjoy the rest of her life.
Ask yourself how you wanna live, being above average and living a good life, or having a chance at making it huge, and constantly burning yourself out. You have to find your balance.

I did well on my PACT, And the biggest college to have contacted me, was DePauw, a college that I could never, ever hope to afford, even with scholarships.
Unless that scholarpship was full-ride. But, Im probably going to MSU. Yes, I am upset with the fact, because I am a U of M child. ph33r teh Gold/Blue.
