<p>Honestly? There are still no real matches. Let’s assume for a minute we’re just going on current stats–there is a very good chance you’ll be in Alabama this time next year. Do you really like Alabama enough? I know you don’t think you’ll be happy at LACs, but the question for me is would you really choose Alabama over all the full need LACs you have the stats for?</p>
<p>You’re interested in business. School matters for jobs in business. Alabama might get you decent jobs in Alabama, but it will be limiting back home in CA and in much of the Country. So have you thought through the trade offs? 4 years at the larger college you want vs. access to good jobs in business?</p>
<p>Also, since you seem hell bent on going to an elite college, transferring is certainly a possibility. A strong senior year, higher scores, a strong first year of colleges–all of that would make an ivy much more likely. Do you want to try that transfer from Alabama or an overall stronger school?</p>
