thenewone wrote Accepted!

In the past month, I received a letter in the mail from Kennesaw State University, saying I’ve been accepted! I am really excited! I plan to double-major in Music and Psychology. I might minor in German as well, but only if there is room for it. 7 hours ago

natalie wrote first acceptance letter!

I sent in my application to my safety school just a couple weeks ago and I just got an acceptance letter – wow, fasttt! Was expecting to get in but wasn’t completely sure – still love the school. Opened the envelope thinking it would be a “Thank you for applying” letter. But no – it was a “Congratulations!” letter!! I couldn’t believe it. And the best part is, I got a $70,000 MERIT SCHOLARSHIP!!!!!! Score!!! 2 weeks ago

This has been sitting on my 43things list since I graduated high school 6 years ago. It took me a long time because of my anti-social tendencies but I finally enrolled last fall and I can check this off my list! woo woo! 3 weeks ago

How I did it: Mistakes:

1- Went to ITT Tech first, thinking that it was going to be cheaper and more to the point of getting work. It wasn't. ITT was more expensive than community college and it was full of meaningless classes. The only good I ever saw there was their use of the popular math software Aleks.

2-After my epic fail with ITT (dropped out because it was too expensive AND useless and I needed work, not because of grades) I lost hope in school and just tried to find work. It turned out that community college is the ideal way to go, but I didn't find out until I was settled into a secure job and took the extra time to go to the local campus and ask questions.

How I Did It:
I walked onto the community college campus and asked to talk to a counselor. I told them where I was coming from and asked what I should do about money and work and everything. I was directed to the financial aid office where they told me to fill out the FAFSA. Then when I did that and returned, they told me what I could do to cover classes with little to no income to start.

 They also connected me to my MGIB benefit, which is really only worth something substantial in the new post 9-11 version that Obama pushed through. I ended up with only one year of that version in university.

Then I decided to walk into the Students With Disabilities Office to inquire about getting tested for some issues that I always knew were holding me back but I was never recognized for as a disability. They tested me themselves and determined that I have a learning disability. They then quickly set me up with fair and awesome accommodations (which I can't say as positively about the university I go to now)

TryingToDoThings wrote I'm going to take some classes...

I’m going to take some classes at my local community college. It may not seem like much, but it’s kind of a big deal to me. I want to start small and work my way up to earning a degree from a private university. 4 weeks ago
