<p>So you finished high school in CA in June 2008. Your “gap year” will be this coming year. I get it now. </p>
<p>I was referring to University of South Carolina in my post…not University of Southern California. U of South Carolina might be attainable for you.</p>
<p>I do think that the option of working and having your tuition paid is a great option for you if finances are a serious consideration.</p>
