Here’s another option to put some serious distance between yourself and Indiana:
Weber State U in Utah has a 100% acceptance rate, and a Zoology program: https://www.weber.edu/zoology
Utah offers a one year path to residency for OOS students, so you would only have to pay OOS rates for one year (or even spend a gap year there, working and saving up some money, and start school once you’re a resident - or, as steffenberr says, attend community college there to begin with). The OOS COA at Weber State is about $30K/year minus whatever automatic merit you qualify for https://www.weber.edu/FinancialAid/NRindexchart.html , and the in-state COA is just over 20K/year minus in-state auto-merit https://www.weber.edu/FinancialAid/indexchart.html
So, that’s cheaper than Carbondale in the long run, and farther from home… and a complete change of scenery, with breathtaking outdoor recreation if that appeals. Granted, the Florida gulf coast is lovely too and I can understand the appeal (you’ve been accepted at FSU, yes?), but if cost is a bone of contention, this would be at least 1/3 less than the cost of an FSU degree while still getting you completely out of the Midwest.
