[quote=Anonymous]Beggars can’t be choosers as the saying goes. Apply to a few of your reaches. Maybe you get accepted and your parents decide to pay because they are so proud of your accomplishment and get to brag to all of their friends. As a backup plan, research schools that will offer you almost a free experience. It doesn’t matter where they are. Look at university of Alabama, Troy University and, yes, other universities in the south. A friend‘s daughter attends Troy, as it is essentially free, including room and board. She is saving her money for grad school. So far, she is a huge fish in a small pond. Dean’s list every semester, professors love her, president of her sorority as a sophomore. She is killing it, and will have lots of opportunities to go to the grad school of her choice. Don’t worry about school name or reputation. Worry about attending a school that you can afford. If you are motivated, you’ll do great things and create a wonderful life for yourself. We are lucky that, for the most part, the school that you attend does not define your future. My husband attended a small Baptist school in North Carolina that no one has heard of. He started his career working for a small, local bank and is now a multimillionaire. No one we know would ever guess. It truly is what you do with your skills and degree.[/quote]
