<p>Student Gender: Male</p>
<p>Home State: Outside of US (one of the SEA countries)</p>
<p>Date Applied: August 26 2013 (applied for fall 2014)</p>
<p>Date Accepted: Still working on the scholarship tab. Will a blank resume still be eligible for a Presidential Scholarship? I do have some EC’s, like volunteering at Home for the Aged and at the American Center Student Council. “List any other activities or information you would like a scholarship committee to know about:” Should I try and explain how my country’s high school scores aren’t internationally recognised so i had to take outside tuitions and classes to answer the O levels (homeschooled) ?</p>
<p>Have you visited the campus?: No.</p>
<p>Major: Computer Science</p>
<p>Applying to the Honors College?: probably. care to explain what it is? </p>
<p>Career goal(s): Work at NASA</p>
<p>Any else you’d like to mention: I’m at a lost now after knowing that only high school seniors graduating from 2014 would be eligible for the 2014 fall scholarship. I graduated at a really early age (by graduating i mean finishing the GCE ‘O’ Levels) and spent the next few years prepping up for SAT I, II and TOEFL while I wait to turn 18. GCE O level scores were 4 A’s and a B, don’t know how it translates to GPA but will Bama accept O level as a high school replacement? SAT I math+CR score 1340, TOEFL 640, TWE 5.5. I emailed my stats to <a href=“mailto:international.admissions@ua.edu”>international.admissions@ua.edu</a> and here was their responese: “Please read about scholarships from [Undergraduate</a> Scholarships - The University of Alabama](<a href=“http://www.scholarships.ua.edu%5DUndergraduate”>http://www.scholarships.ua.edu). You may not be eligible since you are not a graduate from 2014 for Fall 2014. Graduates from 2013 would be awarded scholarships for Fall 2013. The deadline is Dec. 15. If you are dependent on a scholarship to enroll , we encourage you to identify financial resources before applying.”
Sorry for my bad english.</p>

<p>Welcome! Fall is nice to visit. If you visit this fall, it’s probably best to visit on a weekend where there ISN’T a home game. Hotels for home game weekends are already booked up and the city is just crazy busy at those times. </p>
<p>So, pick a weekend of an “away game” or after the first of the year.

<p>Spring would likely be too late.</p>
