Then you really need to prepare the sat and act like your future depends on these scores, because otherwise you’re stuck… The parents are supposed to be responsible for their kids’ college costs. There’s no system that allows the kid to have fewer costs (or where the college picks up the tab) if the parents won’t pay. The only way for you to go to college is for you to live in the same state they do and work full time till they’ve been in that state for enough months that it’ll be 12 months in August when you start college, hoping your test scores qualify you for a full tuition scholarship. OR wait till you’re 24 or are married.
