So here's what happened.
I went to Baruch Yesterday to find out how much financial I was going to get. After I recieved it, I went to the advisement office to check up on my classes and stuff. Apparently, I was put on hold from Baruch, because i didn't hand in documents for the SEEK program that I was in. The Advisor called the lady from SEEK and said that a letter was mailed out in March and that the deadline to hand in the documents was April 30. I DIDN'T recieve any letter from SEEK, so i was screwed outta the program. She said I should try to apply as a regular student instead, so, I went to the undergraduates admission office and tried to have that checked out. I was then sent to the Information Desk on the 1st floor where I was told by the lady that my grades don't qualify for baruch. She said i could try to get into baruch by writing a letter of appeal, so I sat there for 1 hour, writing that letter, and the lady just took it from me when it was done and didn't bother telling me whether it was right or not. I have to wait a week to find out whether or not i will be excepted to baruch as a regular student.
So, in conclusion, There's a 50% chance i won't be going to baruch. That sucks because i went through soo much hard work and shit this whole summer and there is a change that i won't get into the fucking college i want to go to? That hit me right in the heart. It was all i could think about yesterday. I didn't go anywhere after. I just went home to lay down and keep thinking about it.
There's an alternative that was proposed to me yesterday also. My brother's friend, Chris, goes to Laguardia Community College and he said he would try to get me an application for the school. I figured, it's probably the best for me because, A) It's cheaper, B) After you get your associates your guaranteed to get into any other CUNY, C) It's more convenient. It hurts my pride that i have to go there, because I grew up always thinking that I would never go to a community college, and now that life and many other things have screwed me over, it looks like it's my only choice...
I'm just feeling down now, really worried. I might do some stuff here and there these next couple of days, but i dont think i'll feel better about anything.
