It’s been so long now I doubt anyone remembers the original post or update, but I decided to come back and give my year (and a lot of change) update on my silly situation!
On my first two posts, people came at me insanely hard about how I was making a stupid choice and I was going to get taken advantage of by a for-profit school, because I wasn’t sure how exactly everything was going to work with my credentials and financial aid, etcetera. Well, I think you will be happy (or maybe disappointed..?) to know that, despite a lot of negativity, I kept my head up and I am going to an accredited university since last Summer!
I worked out finding my credentials to send in to admissions after a lot of exasperated searching and emails back and forth from schools and government departments. Financial aid has paid for most of my tuition so far, so I have been lucky and so grateful for that. I am a now a sophomore still majoring in psychology with a concentration in clinical and counseling, and I have since taken on another major in political science, as well as a minor in philosophy; and I currently have a 3.77 GPA. I am doing a research assistantship this semester and the next, as well as participating in research projects outside of RAships. This has been a great experience already so far, and I am so glad I didn’t let people get to me about it!
TL;DR: Despite much doubt all around, I am a college student at an accredited university, and I am kicking ass! 💪
