what would you do in this situation?
I'm currently a senior at my high school and am looking forward to going to college next year. I have gotten accepted to my choice (a division 2 college) and want to play baseball for them since I love to play the sport. Here's the problem...it cost 28,000 to go and I have nothing near that amount nor does my mother. I don't even think she makes this much in a year. They told me that since I didn't have good SAT scores (math) but wrote a great college essay that I would need to go to their summer preparation course. This course cost $150 (I have the money) and they need me to pay by May 1st if not I will not be eligible to go anymore. Yea I know "just sign up for FAFSA" and I did but I messed up and need to fix it before any college can receive it and let me know how much money/ assistance I'll receive. The FAFSA thing takes weeks yo receive information back. So my question to you is, should I just pay for the summer course without knowing how much help/ assistance I will be receiving from the government and fix my FAFSA (its going to get done regardless) or should I just go to a community college for two years and transfer out ( which is what i am trying to avoid since I will not get the same baseball training or experience). I need some help man I'm really stressing over this. Thanks for hanging in their and reading this and I appreciate any advice you have to give me.

Go to a community college. They have baseball teams that still offer you playing experience. It will be easier to transfer out and community colleges offer you financial aid for both community college and your choice school. Fix your FAFSA asap. It is necessary! It only took mine a week to process. They say it takes longer in case they experience a high volume of them coming at once. If you do decide to go to your choice school and take the summer preparation class, you CAN pay for it out of pocket, and if you receive excess financial aid they will reimburse you

The maximum possible federal aid is nowhere near $28,000 a year, not even half. That alone should make your decision for you.
