<p>At the end of the day, it’s just one college. Work with them , but be firm in that if they can’t make it possible for you to go, you will find a different school. Taking a year off or hoping for outside scholarships is a sucker play. Think of taking a year off as costing you a year’s worth of whatever your starting salary will be when you finish school. That’s real money that you will lose by delaying college. It’s just not worth it for one school, there are others. A school is not a dream, a successful, productive and happy life is a dream. There are many paths to find your dream. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
