Hypothetical Question

College Search & Lists

<p>I want to ideally go into something like business. Math is my thing, so maybe something that involved finance or accounting. Honestly Im not very sure as to what I even want to do, but I would like it to be along the lines of that.</p>

<p>Anyways, put yourself in this scenario. Your parents are not paying for a cent of your college. Would you rather…</p>

<p>A- take a full ride to the University of Alabama
B- Go somewhere like UT or A&M, and come out with around $30K in debt?</p>

<p>Also, 32 on ACT, ranked #8 in class out of 443, National Honor Society VP, 250 Community service hours, 7 kids in my household, Youth leader at church.</p>

<p>Supposedly the 32 will give me a full ride at Alabama according to someone I talked to who got a 32 and was only ranked like #30 in his class, they also offered him like 17K in spending money.</p>

<p>If you are admitted to UT-McCombs I don’t think 30k in debt would be too much of a stretch for such a great B-School if you want to go into finance.</p>

<p>IMO $30K is the limit of any debt you should take for college. Hopefully you are in-state for TX or it won’t be $30K.</p>

<p>If you can get into McComb’s, seriously consider UT-Austin. If you can’t, $30,000 is pushing the limit for the amount of debt you can take out. Also remember that colleges cost more and more every year, and your financial aid might not increase to match the tuition hikes.</p>

<p>I would take a full ride at Alabama.</p>
