Well I am accepted 100% just paid the deposit and second, I do NOT want to attend a community college I am doing what I WANT and have always wanted and not letting people tell me what to do this time and third, the out of state tuition. As I said in a previous reply my finances are in order. I have been saving up for college since the day I started taco bell in high school back in 2012 and continued with the job I’ve had since then. I have the money and if it isn’t enough (which it is) I will take as many student loans as I have to because this is not just for a degree. This is for my happiness and a life time of memories. No matter where I go, there will be student loans I have to pay but MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING. The finances are not of concern to me.
For anyone worried about if you can or can not get into the University of Alabama like I was: TRY and DO NOT GIVE UP! I have had more people try to discourage me than support me, people who were friends and family that I figured would support me. Just apply and if you don’t get accepted for that semester still DO NOT GIVE UP! Go retake the ACT again just study like crazy get a tutor if you have to. I only made a 21 on the ACT and had a 3.1 gpa and still got in. Submit an essay and recommendations and don’t take no for an answer. I drove to AL from TN just to deliver the essay and recommendations to ensure they got there before my transcripts. If you want something bad enough you’ll do whatever it takes to accomplish it.
