<p>^ That seems too good to be true, dang! O.o I might look up a bit about their programs, thanks. Too bad its in alabama though 
I dont think I would ever willingly go into the deep south</p>
<p>Honestly, you look pretty good for all the schools you’re applying to. Your GPA is your biggest flaw, but with the upwards trend and if you get straight A’s 1st semester senior year, you’ll be fine. Good luck :)</p>
<p>will add uab in alabama for automatic scholarships… </p>
<p>you would qualify for the blazer elite 10000 automatic (apply by deadlines!!) and their sci/tech honors program is incredible…also a bs in chemistry…also an honors chemistry track</p>

<p>LOL…Tuscaloosa does not feel like the “deep south” at all. Tuscaloosa was voted Most Livable City in America. I don’t know what you think Alabama is like, but I doubt it’s accurate.</p>
<p>I’m from California, and I’ve lived in Alabama a few years now, and I’ve experienced ZERO culture shock or anything. </p>
<p>Good-sized American cities are not that much different anymore. The influences from national companies, transplants, etc, really cause a melting pot situation.</p>
<p>The University of Alabama has about 44% OOS students. Over 50% of this year’s frosh class is from OOS. Over 1000 students are at Bama are from Texas alone.</p>

<p>As mentioned above…with your stats, you’d get at least full tuition. That’s assured if you apply before Dec 1st. I think you should visit, you’d be surprised.</p>
