expensive and are they? i am going into grade 12 next year, and have started thinking about how i am actually going to get into a good university. i have a couple problems, one - my parents only make about 45000 Canadian a year, and have had enough financial problems already that they probably won't be able to help me out at all, and two, i was home schooled until grade 10 and am worried about how well i would do on an SAT or other test if they ask me to do any incredibly basic stuff that my mom completely neglected to teach me. my first year in precal was eventful, to say the least.
i have already started working to save up as much as possible, and i am working on volunteer and extracurricular activity's which would make getting into a university like MIT easier. i have fairly good grades (my average this year was 90 percent, plus i got the highest mark of my year in computers, and a 94 in physics, and i might have a higher mark if i was more concerned about it at the time)
pretty much my biggest worries are that i won't be able to afford anything better than the university of Winnipeg, or that i will choke as soon as i get to multiplication on a application test.
i really want to learn as much about physics and programming as possible, so what university's do you think i should take a look at (Canada and USA preferred), how much do they cost if i don't splurge on room and board, what grades do i need to get in, are there any scholarships that might keep me from destroying my finances for the next five decades, etc, etc.
any advice would be great.
PS - i have heard a lot of good things about MIT, is it as good a place for these subjects as people say? what are their teachers like?
