my stepdad is offering to pay for my university (can't be community college) but it has to be under 20K per year and my grades were shit(3.0 with GED and average SAT).

The only places in my state that fulfill this are SHIT-tier.. not even ranked on college ranking sites, don't have engineering programs unless you count (3-years-of-physics + 2-years-at-a-real-university transfer-program) thing where they give you a physics and engineering bachelors after 5 years... should I just do it anyway even if the colleges are absolute shit since it's free? Should I just go for an associates and then transfer somewhere else and gtfo out of dodge that way?

I feel like I have a really good opportunity here but with a huge catch and I don't know what the best option is.

hey, last thread kinda went stale

I'm not into computer science that much..

I'm a political science major and working towards being a lawyer someday.
I was told by an advisor that I need to double major.
I was thinking of adding finance or accounting.
thoughts?

I'm applying to 8-15 universities. I have Aspergers and will be using this as a primary point on my applications. My scores are 1590/2400 SAT and a 2.6-3.0 GPA.

A big important point to why I'm doing this at all: My grandmother has agreed to pay for my entire university education as long as the school isn't total garbage, and I want to go for physics, computer science, engineering, math.. I haven't narrowed it down yet but I will be able to once I'm there.

I've made a bullshit list so far but I need to get this show on the road ASAP as the fall semester starts in about two months and my mother is kicking me out of my childhood home if I don't get into anywhere.

>Arizona State University (decent programs and not impossible to be accepted to, extremely hot though)
>University of Pittsburgh (I live about 30 minutes away)
>San Jose State University (because mechanical engineers and electrical engineers from SJSU are the largest group that work at Tesla, which seems like it would be cool to work at, and desu it's really easy to get into here and i almost consider it a safety)
>Purdue University (well known for engineering but not as hard to get into as Georgia Tech)
>University of Washington (Seattle seems nice)
>University of Minnesota-Twin Cities (seems to have decent programs)

Feel free to fuck my shit up and tell me what I'm going to do wrong or right. I have one shot at this. I either get into somewhere and go to university debt free or I'm kicked out. Thanks for any help.

am white btw

Is it worth going to college and getting into debt for a degree these days? I want to work as a hedge fund manager one day and the only way that I can see myself getting there is by getting a degree. Do I have any other alternatives?
