<p>Its already january…and a lot of the deadlines have passed or are on Jan 15 + … I know its late… I’ve been slacking off but… Better to start now thn never! Right!? lol</p>
<p>So Im interested in becoming a nurse…but I’m not sure so yeah… I just want to take random classes are see what I like and not rush myself into majoring into something.</p>
<p>I live in korea, but I’m not international, my mom and sister will be moving to texas because my other sister is there. My besssstttt friend is in New York. So Im not interested at all in going to the west. I want to be in a state somewhere around Texas and New York…
so yeah…ANYY STATEEE excluding the westcoast.</p>
<p>I don’t have the best sat scores and gpa… It’s because I slacked off and I’m lazy… I really really really regret it. lol! Oh well…</p>
<p>My GPA is about a 3.1 ish? I’ve improves dramatically my senior year, my past grades have been mostly B’s. My first semester of my senior year I got all A’s! It sucks cause the colleges dont get to see that on my transcript for now… but yeah…
My sat was about 1500 ish? Yeah…it isnt any good…</p>
<p>I have no community service…As in long term. I’ve only done a couple things in hospitals and homeless type things for fun. It’s really hard to do community service in korea. lol If it wasnt I’d def do it. I think its fun.</p>
<p>The only extra curricular type thing I’ve done is sports. Volleyball for 5 years and basketball for 4.</p>
<p>So yeah…I need help! Do you know any colleges that are good that I have a CHANCE in getting into… that the deadline hasnt passed yet… T__T</p>
<p>Tuition isnt thaaaaat big of a deal. Of course I’d prefer a cheaper school… but I’m all for paying big bucks for a good education…and being near my mom or best friend.
I prefer being with my best friend. P:</p>
<p>…I probably wont be able to go to a big buck school with my grades anyways…LOL</p>
<p>okayyy.
Sorry for rambling…>__< && Thank youu~!</p>
<p>Exactly how much money has your family said that they will pay for your tuition, room, board, books, etc? $50,000 per year? $40,000 per year? $20,000 per year? What?</p>
<p>So, are you a US citizen? </p>
<p>Since you’re not sure about nursing, you need to choose a school that has nursing, but also many other choices.</p>
<p>Let us know what your education budget is, and then we can make suggestions.</p>
<p>Check out East Stroudsburg University. Close to NY, very good rep within PA, has nursing, under 20k/yr, middle 50% SAT about 1500. [East</a> Stroudsburg University](<a href=“East Stroudsburg University”>East Stroudsburg University)</p>
<p>The non-resident price for the OP would be $22k for tuition alone PLUS another $10k or so for fees, room, board and books. More would be needed for misc costs, personal expenses, and transportation.</p>
<p>So, the Cost of Attendance would be about $35k per year.</p>
<p>ESU is not even worth that $35k tuition imho. Having cousins in the area, it’s not really that of an attractive school to go to. If your not applying as an international student, wouldn’t you have an in-state school? I think your stats are below UT-Austin and Texas A&M. Maybe apply to Temple and Drexel as a slight reach and they both are in Philly so it isn’t far from NY. Should also consider Saint Peter’s College in Jersey City and Englewood Cliffs, NJ which are both across the Hudson River to NYC.</p>
<p>It might be difficult getting into a 4-year college with those stats. Since you’ve said you’ve been lazy, it could be a good idea to go to a community college and then transfer to a university. Some CCs have good nursing programs, too. </p>
<p>Many of the more competitive schools have deadlines in January, but if you’re talking public schools those often will accept applications into March.</p>
<p>it doesnt take long…just fill in all your information correctly when you’re registering. it happened to me. my schools got my scores before i did and i confused the college board ppl when i put a postal code in my registration paper…my country doesnt have a postal code…anymore</p>
<p>You could take a look at CUNY-Hunter or some of the other CUNY programs (maybe CUNY-Lehman). The tuition costs are low, but you’d probably have to spend a significant amount on housing. These are generally commuter schools in the five boroughs of Manhattan and I don’t know if they’d be to your liking.</p>
<p>Also, Lamar University in Beaumont, TX meets your criteria of low cost, nursing programs and not too far from Houston. However, once again, this is a commuter school, part of the Texas State system.</p>
<p>*I am a US citizen. I’m overseas cause my dads in the military and blah blah blah.
I think I can get around 20k from parents each year.
*</p>
<p>It’s best to know for sure how much your parents will pay. Ask them for a specific amount. Many kids think their parents can pay X amount, only to find out that they can’t. So, ask to be sure. :)</p>
<p>You may have to take out Stafford loans and maybe work a bit to cover the rest of your costs of a public.</p>
<p>However, I think that there are some states that give in-state rates in children of active military personnel. I don’t know if you have to be presently living in that state to qualify. Anyone know?? </p>
<p>The SUNYs and CUNYs are lowish for non-residents, but are about $28k for total Cost of Attendance (COA).</p>
<p>The COA for Lamar U is about $24k for OOS students (tuition, room, board, books)</p>
<p>If your parents cannot give you $20k per year, then you may have to start at cc and then get your RN there, or get your gen ed done there and transfer later.</p>
