I got into U Montana at age 28 with no SATs etc. and a GED from age 16 (from DC)
– It was conditional-probationary, but worth it. A super super cheap school.-Now I have a 3.94 and am looking at transfering to some really good programs.
DON"T DO COMMUNITY COLLEGE!!! You don’t have to.
I tried for a little bit when I was younger and I hated it, and it drove me away from school-lots o dummies, and hard to commit.
The real university vibe makes success so much easier–
Trust me speaking from experience
Oh and I get financial aid, a Pell grant, work study —totaling $17,900 a year (and am 2 years older)-- for a university that costs $2,900 a semester
