<p>Ugh! I have visited GT twice and I honestly can’t see myself going anywhere else. If me and my parents split the loans maybe it can work out? I know they can pay for it, my mom is just having a few issues, and she even talked to her boss today and worked some out. Besides, if she got laid off, I could just appeal federal aid or I would get more the following the year. </p>
<p>There are so many opportunities at GT. The college of computing has career fairs every semester with a waitlist because so many companies want to hire their students. I could easily get a co-op or internship or study abroad and pay in-state tuition, but all of that is not guaranteed, even though it is very likely. While I know that I can do it, my mom doesn’t want to take the risk. Honestly I really don’t like Alabama, I applied there because I went to a camp there last summer and learned about the crazy scholarships for GPA and test scores and applied just for like a safety. UF I would mind less because I have friends going there and my dad is a huge gator fan, but they almost canceled funding to their computer science program a year ago! My English teacher told me to try to apply to UCF really quick. I really don’t know what to do, its not right that someone gets a 4.0 GPA, 35 ACT, salutatorian, passes all AP exams while being in color guard and NHS and being recognized numerous times for her accomplishments in computer science and not get to go to their dream school! Why do these schools have to be so expensive?!?!</p>
<p>I’m sorry if I get emotional. I really want to go to Tech!</p>
