Thank you for the input,everyone. It’s nice to hear the different sides. Still exploring options. I think they are as limited as they would have been had things been different when I applied. I applied to Temple U, and will apply to UAB. Maybe large merit scholarships from these places will be enough. Maybe not. If not, I’ll take a few months and apply at UW Seattle or Western to start winter quarter next year. I have a grandmother who has a house in Seattle, and she lives in Vegas for a better part of the year, so I could likely house sit for them during the school year, and not have a huge commute to UW. Might go CC for a year or two as well depending on how things shake out. Just taking this one step at a time. Thanks for all of your help.
