<p>The OP doesn’t have any ACT or SAT scores yet, so it’s unknown how she will do on them. She has about a 3.3 GPA at some kind of non-traditional public school (it sounds like it might be a school for students that have fallen behind credits-wise or something like that).</p>
<p>the problem is that it’s unlikely that the OP will have the stats to get accepted at a full-need school.</p>
<p>Therefore, a financial safety for her will be…</p>
<p>A public U that she can commute to and pay for with Pell and any other state/fed help.</p>
<p>A community college that she could commute to. </p>
<p>Does anyone know how much aid (if any) the state of Texas provides for low income college students?</p>
