<p>What is your major?</p>
<p>UCB’s recommendation of UAB is a good one. </p>
<p>It’s not likely too late for their scholarship. They have a “priority deadline,” but they don’t hold to it. UAH and Miss St also do not hold to their “priority deadline” dates. I wouldn’t bother calling because they’re likely going to just say what their priority deadline was. But, I know that they award scholarships long past those deadlines.</p>
<p>What is your major?</p>
<p>I do think that you should pursue some kind of deal with your dad that a certain (reasonable!) GPA must be maintained EACH semester for him to pay for the following semester. Maybe 3.0??? The expected GPA needs to be reasonable for the major. An engineering major can sometimes be more difficult to always have a high GPA each semester. Engineering majors are known to get an occasional C in some of those crazy/hard classes. </p>
<p>If your grades this senior year are strong, that should mean something to your dad. If you can get him to agree to pay for next fall’s semester based on your senior year performance, that seems reasonable.</p>
