<p>@holyguacamole- aww, i’m sorry. Missing the cutoff also influenced my financial aid a lot.
I’ve received some small scholarships from Oregon State(my future college, my profile picture gives it away), but they do not even cover half of my tuition. I did not receive their presidential scholarship, which would have covered a large part of my tuition. I got decent financial aid from University of Alabama, but i chose not to go there for personal reasons. Luckily for me, I have become a part of the MECOP program and can have an internship. Good luck and I hope you get the good news! Otherwise, see you at OSU!
