<p>I realize this would be super late, and that the deadline for some scholarships was Dec. 1, but the that seemed to be for the ACT/GPA awards, rather than NMF. </p>
<p>I believe the last priority deadline is 2/1; if I got all my stuff in by then, would I still receive the full scholarship? Thanks a bunch.</p>
<p>Oh, and if I did receive the scholarship, would I have a good chance at honors housing? I know there aren’t enough beds on campus for the number of students.</p>
<p>Call admissions. They can give you the most accurate advice.</p>
<p>Thanks proud_mom, but I’m actually in China visiting relatives at the moment, so calling isn’t really an option for a couple weeks. Plus, wouldn’t they be on vacation?</p>
<p>I literally got accepted one day after applying online. If they want you bad enough they will probably bend their rules.</p>
<p>lol, thanks. Btw, I saw that you mentioned in an earlier thread that you weren’t exactly the typical AU admit in terms of political ideology, religion, etc. I’m not super political or anything like that, but my parents are worried about the whole “southern school” aspect of things. Would you say that’s a legit concern?</p>
<p>How’s Auburn worked out for you, and do you at all regret going to a “less prestigious” school to save money? It sounds like you were in kinda the same position I’m in right now- would you make the same choice if given another opportunity?</p>
<p>Haha, sorry for all the questions. There’s just a bunch I don’t know at this point.</p>
<p>First of all, you didn’t ask me, but I will chime in anyway.
My experience is that among college students in the South there is more focus on making sure that all are treated equally than among college students in other areas of the country.
Politically, you will find a large number of Libertarians, many of whom voted for Obama but also with many who voted for him disappointed in his execution - I don’t think they ever understood that much of the change might be toward a nanny state and that he meant what he said about gay marriage. You will find more Republicans than in many other schools but not a lot more.
There is a large urban influence. The Atlanta area, the Huntsville area, and Florida all send a large number of students to Auburn. And while many of these students were born and raised south of the Mason-Dixon line, they tend to have parents or grandparents who have lived outside of the south and traveled widely inside and outside of the country.
For whatever reason, Auburn has always had a larger contingency of religious students than most state schools, but in many ways they add to the breadth of the Auburn experience.</p>
<p>Thanks Granny, I appreciate the input. Do you know if Auburn has a good political science program? I know it’s mostly a science/engineering school, but I’m looking to eventually go to law school.</p>
<p>Also, if there’s anyone else who would like to share their opinions about Auburn, please do.</p>
<p>I do not know about their poly science program. People do go to law school from Auburn.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks. You wouldn’t happen to know the answer to my original question would you?</p>
<p>bump! I’d like to know the answer to this question, too! ;)</p>
<p>Biply, you want to call Auburn. Class starts tomorrow and they should be open.</p>
<p>If you haven’t already called or found out, they will accept your application! I just called a few min ago :)</p>
<p>Oh, sorry, I totally forgot about this thread. I emailed them like a week ago, meant to post it. I don’t plan on applying to Auburn anymore, but best of luck to you!</p>
