Hi! I am a senior in high school and I am planning on becoming an event planner. I have been accepted into many programs for this career and waiting on my #1 choice. My #1 choice is a prestigious school with lots of internship connections and study abroad. I really like a few smaller private schools that I have toured but they do not have majors specific to my career path. I would have to do communications or general business. Should I go with specific and prestigious (if I get in) or is a general degree at a smaller school just as good?

I am a senior in high school and wanting to be an event planner. Cost wise the choices are similar, but the smaller private schools cost a bit more.

I am a senior at my high school, I have a GPA of 3.9 and I am involved in art club and my local church.

Whats the best method for applying for scholarships?

I need scholarships, but I'm not sure what the best method is for applying to them. Should I just apply to as many low effort/no essay scholarships as I can, or should I spend more of my time on the ones that'll take a lot of work since they usually have higher rewards. I'm also struggling with...
