She hoped to attend University of New Haven but ended up at East Los Angeles College. Here is how she got there. Here is her advice, which might be worth sharing with others:
"If I were to do something different, it would be to more
thoroughly research ways to pay for college. My advice to students is
to look into the costs of each school. Before you apply, look at the
financial aid section on the school’s website. Some schools tell you
how many students are on financial aid, showing you how much the school
expects their students to pay. Also, have a backup choice that is more
affordable and save money for personal expenses. What if you want to go
out with friends or catch a movie?
I would also advise students not to rely on private loans because they are more difficult to get right now. Many public universities in California offer the same education at a fraction of the price as private, out-of-state schools. So if you want to explore a new place, you can go to school in a different part of the state.
Life can’t always be what you expect even if you work really hard. You learn to move on."
