Hi,

I am a student who is currently looking to transfer to a new university.

A little about my situation, I’ve completed my freshman yeah with a 4.00 GPA in my schools honors college while playing a division one sport. Unfortunately, I will not be able to return to the team for next year leaving me in a big financial issue. After my first year I only owe $5000 in student loans, however I am planning on attending law school and am worried about excessive debt. My current school is out of state and without the athletic scholarship it would not be worth the level of education to take out large loans to continue there.

With that being said, I am from Pennsylvania which has some of the highest in state tuition in the country and offers no tuition reciprocity to any nearby regional states. My parents make enough to not qualify for any federal aid but not enough to substantially pay for my education nor my sister who is about to start college too. I am willing to work and work a lot to make my dream of completing law school happen.

If anyone has any suggestions or past experiences in a similar experience I would really appreciate hearing back!
