JSU WILL MAKE A FINAL DECISION REGARDING MY PLACEMENT/ADMISSION FOLLOWING THE INTERVIEW.
AFTER READING THIS I FELT LIKE A PIECE OF GUM ON THE BOTTOM OF SOMEONES SHOE. I MEAN IM NOT STUPID BUT I HAVE SO MANY FAMILY PROBLEMS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS THAT IT WILL BE A MIRACLE WHEN I WALK ACROSS THE STAGE MAY 27. SO MY QUESTION IS SHOULD I GO? I MEAN I WANT TO GO BUT I WILL FEEL SO BAD IF I GO THROUGH ALL OF THAT AND DONT EVEN GET IN. I WOULD LOVE TO GO TO JSU I HEARD THEY HAVE ONE OF THE BEST BUSINESS PROGRAMS
BUT THEN I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT HOW WOULD I GET THERE TO TAKE THE PLACEMENT TEST MAY 21 I LIVE I THINK 6 HOURS AWAY FROM JACKSON. I HAVE A CAR BUT IM NOT SURE IF IT WOULD BE SAFE TO TAKE IT DOWN THERE. I WANT TO ASK MY MOTHER IF SHE'LL GO WITH ME BUT IM SURE SHE'LL SAY NO THAT SHE DOESNT WANT TO GO AND THAT SHE DOESNT KNOW HER WAY AROUND MISSISSIPPI AND SHE'LL BE TO TIRED. THEN I WONT HAVE N E ONE ELSE TO TURN TO TO ASK. BUT IF IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO ME DRIVING MY 1995 ALTIMA THAT NEEDS AN **** CHANGE, NEW TIRES, AND AN O2 SENSOR THEN I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT AND PRAY TO GOD THAT I CAN MAKE IT THERE AND BACK.
BUT IF I HAVE TO GO TO SUMMER SCHOOL THEN HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO WORK DURING THE SUMMER?IM SUPPOSED TO WORK AT NISSAN THIS SUMMER. THATS HOW I PLAN TO MAKE MONEY TO BUY SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND MONEY IN THE BANK FOR WHEN ITS TIME TO GO TO COLLEGE. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME I TRY TO DO SOMETHING TO BETTER MYSELF I GET KNOCKED RIGHT BACK DOWN. I PRAY EVERY NITE BUT AT TIMES IT JUST SEEMS LIKE MY LIFE GETS WORSE.
SO WHAT SHOULD I DO? I'VE ALREADY BEEN ACEPTED TO BENEDICT BUT EVERYOBE GETS ACCEPTED THERE. IM STILL WAITING ON MY OTHER LETTERS FROM SOUTHERN, TEXAS SOUTHERN, AND PRAIRIE VIEW.I DONT WANT TO GO TO A COMMUNITY COLLEGE. I HAVE TO LEAVE TENNESSEE OR OTHERWISE IM GOING TO GO CRAZY AND IM NOT JOKING. :sad: SO PLEASE GIVE ME FEED BACK AND PRAY FOR ME [-o< [-o<

JSU in mississippi? requires a interview? damn, i thought u could get into that school with below a 2.0 GPA cause i kno my friend did.... :lol:
First you can check out your other options. Calling in would work to check the status of your apps. If you can find out your standing with the other colleges you applied to before the JSU interview and you get some acceptances, then you can just weigh your choices and see whats the most flexible for you. If not, then you can think about going to the JSU interview. Speaking for myself, if I was in that situation and I really wanted to go to JSU I would try my hardest to get down there. Concerning the placement tests just do your all out best. Have confidence and make your best possible effort and pray. If you end up having to go into the development program you may have to try to get a job somewhere close to JSU. Keep all your options open, pray on it, and don't give up. Be encouraged

ditto...but anyway...I would tell you to go to the interview and pray that God sends you the direction and the guidance to make the right choice...maybe you can get a friend of yours to drive their car since you are having problems with yours, and at the same time you would have someone with you. Its worth it to go cause you will regret it later, and be like '' what if " all the time. You wanna have the most possible options available to you. Ill pray for you that everything works out.
Hey I know exactly how you feel. During the year 2003, I sent off my application to JSU and they gave me the same letter. Now I didn't do the best I knew I could do in high school, but I had a 21 on the ACT, was invovled in several extracurricular activities, and made a 500 on the required state history test. Might I add that is the max on the test, so I beat out all the white kids who thought they were smart. But they felt it was necessary that I take the test, so I pulled up my grades my entire senior year and that's how I got to Southern. Thank God for the law school.
Thanks everyone. but like i said if it all boils down to me having to go to JSU development test and summer school than thats what Im going to have to do. Do you think that it will be safe for me to go down there by myself? Cause I think thats how its gonna turn out. but im going to tell my mother about it when she gets off in the morning, but i already know what shes going to say. but if she says yes than im gonna **** all over myself. But wont i have to pay for summer school? will financial aid cover that? Cause im broke as hell.
also if i dont go to summer school will they just put me in remidal classes?
I haven't visited the school but a recruiter came to my school during lunch and she was willing to give me a full scholarship on the spot and I'm only a junior...they seem to accept any and everybody...so I don't know how challenging their curriculum is...
...and if you feel it's unsafe to travel down to Jackson by yourself take Greyhound or Amtrak...
