24

<p>Accepted already? My son’s HS won’t even start processing transcript requests until 9/18. His application is submitted but now we have to just sit and wait for UA to receive the transcript sometime in late Sep or early Oct.</p>

<p>Sent from my SCH-I510 using CC</p>

25

<p>^^^ DD’s school didn’t want to send out transcripts until 9/15 - but I (and a couple other parents) prevailed upon them to send transcripts this summer to Bama. I explained that getting accepted early impacted housing options and that you couldn’t apply to Honors until you were accepted. The school was reasonable - but the kids had to be too. They made an exception for Bama, but not the 6-12 other schools the kids were applying to.</p>

26

<p>Do you all know when you can pay the housing deposit ?</p>

27

<p>

</p>

<p>My D’s high school was the same way, and unlike ChicagoBear’s high school, ours didn’t budge. They made no exceptions for anyone. Despite submitting her application on the first day it was available last year, my D didn’t end up getting accepted until October and couldn’t get the first pick time for housing. Fortunately she had a roommate who had the first pick time and pulled her in. However, you don’t have to deposit in October to get housing. One of D’s friends deposited in December and, since she was just looking for a single room, had no trouble getting into the residence hall of her choice. I’m sure kids depositing even later had the same experience. However, if you’re looking for an entire suite in a popular residence hall, having an early pick time is key. My understanding is that Bama sets aside housing for NMFs, so if you’re NMF you’ll get honors housing even if you deposit late. A friend’s NMF son didn’t decide to go to Bama and make his deposits until late April a couple years ago and he got honors housing without a problem.</p>

28

<p>Male
Southern California</p>

<p>Major: “Pre-med” (not a major I know but in Bama’s eyes it seems to be)</p>

<p>After undergrad plans: I am really interested in MD/PhD programs. Many are fully funded with stipends, last 8 years, and they fit my hopeful career perfectly (neuro anything, professor)</p>

<p>Extra Bama apps: honors college and CBH for sure, maybe UFE I haven’t even heard of that until today</p>

<p>Hobbies: I love computers. I also tutor a lot at my school as a part time job. </p>

<p>No visit, not really feasible. CBH flying out finalists will hopefully be a chance for me to see the university.</p>

I visited Bama last June, and loved it!!! Beautiful campus; wonderful, kindest people; and it was just grand! I met with several professors which was also soooo fun…I’m contemplating going back for a second visit, but it’s quite a trip…Anyone think it’s worth it?</p>

<p>I have the stats to get in the Honors College, and I’m going to apply for the CBHP, because the program sounds wonderfully fun, challenging, and exciting! I know it’s competitive, so we’ll see how it goes!!!</p>

35

<p>Mahans- there will be Capstone Scholar Day in January for people admitted to the Honors College. A nice break from the cold (I’m in RI) and you also might want to check the school calendar or check with the Honors College or whatever department you are interested in to see if there is anything going on. You can also schedule a meeting in your department with a professor and sit in on some classes. Maybe go to a football game, though check for hotels early, they fill fast on football weekends.</p>

36

<p>Thank you Proudmama3 for the info! I didn’t know about “Capstone Scholar Day” so will definitely look into that! Wow, I’d love to be able to sit in on classes! That sounds great- that would certainly be a plus…Thanks again :)</p>

37

<p>Does anyone know that if you apply for honors college and you get accepted, can you turn it down if you decide not to do it?</p>

<p>Posting for my DD '13</p>

<p>Gender: Female</p>

<p>Home State: New Orleans area, LA (Came back from Isaac evacuation to find the Alabama packet in the mailbox. It must have been there through all the wind and rain! We are fine; only street flooding and a few shingles down!)</p>

<p>Intended Major: Musical Theatre and/or Dance (both are admissions by audition only and auditions are in early November on back to back weekends); and/or Exercise Science/Kinesiology (Ideally wants to double major in one of the arts and Kinesiology)</p>

<p>Professional tracks, if applicable: (such pre-Medical, pre-Dental, pre-Vet, pre-Law, PT, OT, etc) Yes, pre-Physical Therapy</p>

<p>Hobbies/Interests: musical theatre, dance, physical therapy, Spanish language and culture</p>

<p>Have you visited Bama yet? If so, when did you visit? If not, will you do so?</p>

<p>Yes! Last February during Mardi Gras week. Great campus visit arranged by Allison Verhine in Honors. Met with voice professor in MT and head of MT; toured dorms; had lunch with honors student. It was beautiful! Going back for audition weekends in November.</p>

<p>Also, include anything else you’d like to include, such as scholarship awards, interest in the Honors College, interest in BUI, CBH, UFE, etc</p>

<p>Qualified for Presidential Scholarship. Want to be part of Honors College. Interested in Spanish foreign language, Study Abroad opportunities, Greek life. Not sure about CBH or UFE because of time issues with double major and theatre/dance rehearsals.</p>

<hr>

<p>Just getting back to normal after Isaac. School was out all week. Power just came back on Friday. Cox Communications (cable, internet, phone) just came back Saturday. School starts again tomorrow. So I feel I’m behind the eight ball as far as the college process. I guess we need to send in enrollment deposit and make a note about housing deposit on my calendar so she can get first choice. She won’t be NMF, so we’ll need to get deposit early to get best housing.</p>

<p>UA is one of DD’s top 3 schools! Depends on auditions…Keeping fingers crossed because I think it is her best option for all of her varied interests!</p>
