<p>For me the issue was one of finance but more so a lack of family support, my situation drastically changed recently due to multiple deaths in my family, otherwise I would have been able to finish my degree. I appreciate you throwing my situation back in my face though? Really helpful advice? It’s difficult for a student who does not have that family backbone to get through college without any assistance. Maybe you’ve been fortunate enough to not experience this, good for you. </p>
<p>I already have contacted all the schools on my list about my situation and financial aid options. Columbia and Duke offer full financial aid to transfer students that are US citizens. I am taking the smartest possible route considering my options so I don’t understand why you’re attempting to make me feel bad about it.</p>
<p>In terms of my grades, I have a 59 percent which is nearly a 2.1. Also, a 4.0 and being in the top 10 percent of my HS class is not that great? Again you’re attempts to throw a negative spin on things…</p>
