<p>I’ve been out of highschool for a year now, and don’t want to wait any longer to go back.
I graduated highschool in 2012, and my family did not have the money for me to go to college immediately. Recently my mom got a big raise at her job, so I can now go to any non-private school that I would like. I am open to any school that is not small.</p>
<p>basic H.S. Info
GPA: 2.4 out of 4.0
ACT: 23
2 Honors courses.</p>
<p>Schools I’ve been looking into:
Ole Miss
University Of Central Florida
University Of Alabama-Birmingham
Temple
St. John’s (NY)
Western Michigan
Portland State
San Diego State
Florida</p>
<p>My question is, will any of these schools, or schools similar in size accept me? Receiving a college education is important to me, but there isn’t a junior college that I could get to daily near my house, so it is extremely important to me that I find a school that will accept me that I would be interested in going to</p>
<p>Which state are you a resident in? Remember that a public university in another state will likely cost as much as a private college, unless your state has a special cooperative agreement or you earn merit money.</p>
<p>What state do you live in? Realize that any public college in a state other than the one in which you have residence will charge a substantial OOS rate, which could bring your final bill to a much higher level than you might expect. Some private schools have much more generous financial aid policies than do public schools; it is not unusual for private colleges to end up being less expensive than OOS publics.</p>
<p>^^I agree, I’d definitely look at some in-state options. Not sure you can apply and get in by this fall so you may want to consider starting at a CC. This will also allow you to boost your GPA so you will have more options.</p>
<p>Some community colleges do have residence halls, and others that don’t do have active housing offices that help students find places to live near campus. Start with the community colleges in your own state, and investigate the housing situation.</p>
<p>If you can commute, just not every day, find out about scheduling your classes so you only need to be on campus one or two days each week.</p>
