Hello!
So, first off, I only applied to two universities this cycle. It was all I could afford. I didn't get into one, but I got into another that is higher ranked. Previously, I was set out to attend my undergraduate institute, where I was fully funded, but opted out as it was a last minute decision (on my part) and I want a terminal degree.
I don't have anything to leverage against the university I was admitted to, not outside of my academic merit and potentially my minority status. I would love to attend, but I cannot afford it. I would love to work at the university in some capacity while attending, but I'm not sure that's a possibility.
If anyone could provide me some advice or maybe point me in whatever direction I should go to approach this, I would appreciate it a lot.
Thank you. : )
