<p>I have been attending a community college and will transfer to Georgia College in the Fall. Anyhow, I just learned that I can apply to other colleges than GC after next year to try to get into an athletic training program. </p>
<p>I was just wondering: would it be possible for me to get into the University of Alabama or would it be a waste for me to apply to their athletic training program?</p>
<p>So far I have a 3.5 gpa and I am expecting to keep at least a 3.0 throughout my second year of college, hopefully more. I will have completed all of the Georgia College prerequisites for getting into their athletic training program and just emailed the head of the Health Sciences department at the University of Alabama. </p>
<p>Any insight will be helpful. Thanks!</p>
<p>^^^oh good, you reposted here. This is a holiday weekend so the forum may not be as busy as usual but I am sure that you will get some very good answers.</p>
<p>[Athletic</a> Training Education Program (ATEP) | Health Science - The College of Human Environmental Sciences](<a href=“http://www.ches.ua.edu/health/atep]Athletic”>http://www.ches.ua.edu/health/atep)</p>
<p>Hopefully someone here knows more about the program. </p>
<p>Will your parents pay the costs?</p>
<p>No they will not. I am hoping I will receive some type of financial aid.</p>
<p>If your family won’t pay, then affording the school isn’t likely. OOS costs are about $35k per year and aid would largely be limited to federal aid which isn’t much. State schools generally don’t give much need-based aid to OOS students because they have to reserve their limited aid to instate students. And, transfers don’t get much for scholarships. </p>
<p>If you qualify for HOPE in GA, then that’s probably going to be your affordable choice.</p>
<p>I figured that would be the case. But thank you both for your help.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity… I couldn’t use a lake house in my favor in order to be considered an Alabama resident could I?</p>
