I don’t see any harsh feedback. People are listing options which is a good thing abd offering potential lower cost solutions but you never provided necessary info to do so.
We still don’t know (you never answered) what you are paying and where you are from. I would check the Georgetown NPC b4 applying - it’s a different cost than AU and you want to determine what the cost will be.
You might go through this list. It’s the meet needs schools but then look at those of interest for their transfer policies - ie many won’t meet need for transfers. I couldn’t find a list of those schools that meet need for transfers.
Gtown has about a 9% transfer accent rate with an avg gpa of 3.8-9 but requires the SAT/ACT unless out of hs school five years. You might reach out and ask if that can be waived b4 applying or find others.
I have no doubt, unless you’re paying less than $20k a year in tuition, we can find you alternatives.
Good luck. I hope you get enough aid. Ps - no one is blaming a 17 year old. I personally think too many families have a hard time saying no to their kids. I get it. But that’s where this stems. It’s not uncommon. There are just so many affordable options and I’m sure some where you wouldn’t have to work one job, let alone two - just to survive vs it being for a little spending money. That’s all. No 18 year old or their families should have to be under so much financial duress. But it’s the choice some make.
I wish you luck.
