I feel cheated. Please help me grow up.

@MYOS1634 “And how seriously did you plan to applyvto Oklahoma and Alabama ? Be honest with yourself now.” I wasn’t planning on prioritizing Oklahoma and Alabama, but having those options as cost-free backups would’ve taken a lot of stress off my shoulders. Being a NMS was more important for USC (guaranteed half-tuition) and possibly getting regents at some of the UCs. I’ll try to, as you said, focus on what’s ahead.

@EarlVanDorn “The OP did have a remedy which he didn’t use.” I don’t know if there were any centers that would take me, no matter how far I looked. All the ones I called said a student would’ve had to sign up long before 2 weeks before the administration. Also, I don’t have my license yet and my parents are both pretty busy, so having them give up a few days to drive me somewhere would be impractical. That Alabama NMF deal sounds pretty amazing, I would’ve gone there just for the European vacation.
