Merit Scholarships - Applying a Year Late

Paying for College
1

<p>So I graduated high school a few months ago (June 2013) and decided I didn't want to go to college. A little late, I realized that wasn't such a bright idea. Now I'm starting to think about applying to colleges for the fall of 2014. I do have 6 college credits, but I earned them through an early college program - Early College for ME - during my senior year. I'm not planning on attending college at all between now and the fall of 2014.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if I would still qualify for merit scholarships (specifically out-of-state tuition waivers and institutional scholarships for incoming freshmen)?</p>

<p>Right now I'm leaning towards the University of Louisiana at Monroe if I'm eligible for scholarships, so if anyone happens to know anything about ULM in particular, please share. I emailed the school about it, but it's the weekend, so I figure I won't hear back from them until at least Monday. (I figure no one will know about this college in particular, but it's worth a shot, right?)</p>

<p>If you haven’t matriculated for a degree at any college, you would be an incoming freshman for next fall.</p>

<p>Most colleges and universities consider dual-enrollment courses to be part of your HS record for admissions purposes, so you would apply as a freshman applicant. Call them on Monday to verify their specific policy.</p>

<p>If you have not taken college classes since you graduated from high school, then you will be considered a normal incoming freshman by colleges.</p>

<p>When did you take your SAT or ACT? </p>

<p>What were your scores?</p>

<p>Wow, you guys are fast!</p>

<p>I took the SATs in May of 2012. Would that be a problem? Would I have to take them again? My scores were:</p>

<p>700 Reading
660 Math
620 Writing</p>
