I know this post is a bit long, but I greatly appreciate anyone who will take the time to help me out and give me some advice! I am in state, so I’m pretty sure I’ll get in or at least deferred to one of their other campuses, but I’m really hoping for some sort of non-need based scholarship.

I plan to study a field related to writing, and maybe minor in politics or history, and all my activities and college courses so far definitely are related to that!
