When are you submitting your app?

Mine ran into a snag, I thought I was supposed to qualify for a fee waiver but it’s saying I don’t so now I need to see why before I submit my app, lest I have to pay $300.

Also I’m freaking about some qualification where they won’t certify my TAP if I don’t have a 3.5 in March or something…I won’t have a 3.5 by then but I’ll have a 3.7 by May/June. All due to a technicality where I had them evaluate transcripts from another college, otherwise I’d have like a 3.8 (at West Valley) by March… It’s those 3 flippin Fs I gotta get off of there. So I gotta first hear back from the Honors Counselor about what I did wrong on the app (I think it’s where she had me put down my mom under Father/Guardian/Parent 1 AND Mother/Guardian Parent 2) when I only had it under Mother at first). WCS I pay the $300, I gotta speak to the Honors Coordinator too (AND Counselor, if she knows) about if there’s any like…special appeal I can make… kinda a special circumstances thing to still have the TAP granted because of…extraordinary circumstances or something. I don’t think it’s an unreasonable request to say “Hey a counselor gave me bad advice and I AM going to have the 3.6-3.7 by the end can I please get a buy on this one?” Well…spoken more eloquently than that but you get the idea, explain the situation and see if anything can be done. My counselor and coordinator are both extremely nice (the coordinator is actually a professor for one of the honors classes which I’m in) so I think surely SOMETHING must be able to be done.

Butttt… worst case scenario, this was all a waste of time and I’ll end up at UC San Diego or UC Irvine. Not my first choice anymore but it’s worth it.
