<p>Hi there I currently have no college credit and am considering either going to community college or re-applying to college as a freshman as I had to leave Northeastern because of financial reasons. Since I've been seeing that full scholarships to transfers are extremely rare, would there be a school with a business program that would give me a full ride with the following stats or would it be better to do 2 years at a community college and transfer to an in state public school I can afford (I'm a CA student and am funding my own college education so I would not be able to afford a private school without a full ride)?</p>

<p>UW GPA:3.7
W GPA:3.93
SAT:1880
ACT:30
1 honors, 5 AP classes (took all possible math courses)

<p>There are several threads on this topic in the Financial Aid Forum. You need to start there.</p>

<p>Do investigate whether or not any of those institutions would consider you a transfer applicant. If you withdrew from Northeastern without earning any credits at all, you should be OK most places. However, there could be exceptions.</p>

<p>Troy University in Alabama will award full tuition (not room, board, fees or other expenses) for freshman applicants with a 1220 CR + M SAT and a 3.5 GPA. That’s the most generous scholarship offer for applicants in your stats range that I’ve ever seen; you’d have to call them and ask if your partial semester at NEern would impact your eligibility.</p>
