Can you eat at a dining hall without a meal plan?

Essentially just the title. Is there a way you can just pay for a one time pass into the dining hall?

Am I eligible for scholarships?

I am applying as an international student as I live overseas, however I am still a U.S. citizen. My HS curriculum is different to America, meaning I don’t get given a GPA (or report it). I am 80% sure it is roughly a 3.4, based on unofficial conversion estimates.

There are no ‘weighted’ GPA’s in my country.

My 3.4 (estimated) places me below the 3.5 GPA requirement for international applicants for ALL scholarships.

But my SAT score is a 1420, so TECHNICALLY I would be eligible for the highest one (although i’m guessing I would be competing with others who have like 1550’s).

How strict are they on these numbers?

Also what does the ‘automatic’ mean? Are these scholarships given out alongside admission offers? Or would they come out later?

Thanks

iron bowl football student guest question.

I have a lower bowl ticket for the iron bowl and my non-student boyfriend wants to attend the game, however I am not able to upgrade to a guest ticket. I have heard that some people just buy another lower bowl section and just walk to the student section. Is this actually possible or is there any other way to find a guest ticket?

Project management certification

Has anybody gotten a project management certificate? I’m interested in doing an online program, but I have no clue where to start looking. What schools are good to get them from? Are they expensive? I’m interested in other certificates as well if anyone has any suggestions :)

Freshman scholarships

I have a family member that applied to UA in October as test optional. They currently have a 4.0 GPA and a 24 on the ACT and plan on taking the December ACT. Does UA give merit scholarships based on just GPA alone or do they consider ACT scores as well?

Upcoming School of music audition

I am currently a high school senior trumpet player who is applying to Alabama for music performance. I have already been accepted into the university and am now awaiting my audition. I was wondering if I have a shot a getting in on trumpet as I don’t know how competitive college auditions are. I would say I’m an above average and pretty good trumpet player.

Some background of me is : I am the principal trumpet of my high school wind ensemble that has recently been invited to play at the Kennedy center for John Phillip Sousa festival this march. I am an all-county trumpet player in New York. I am also the section leader and soloist for the Mineola mustang marching band, nysfbc small school 1 back to back champions. I have played with the LIU Post college wind symphony last year and will be playing with the Hofstra university Wind ensemble this spring semester. I am involved in every facet of my schools music program. I have also played with the Nassau Suffolk wind symphony, an highly competitive auditioned based group on Long Island.

All in all if someone could could tell me weather or not I have a shot that would be great and get rid of some stress.

Does anyone have any past or current Computer Science Data Structures and Algorithm projects?

I took the class years ago when it was still called CS360. I remember we used to have projects due every 2-3 weeks or so. I wanted to just challenge myself to redo some of them but I cannot for the life of me remember where the project descriptions are. Does anyone have any of the past projects descriptions? I would also like to know if there are new DS&A projects current students are working on so I could try my hand on them as well. Thanks

Electrical Engineers?

What do you guys think of the school and how do you feel about professors, ability to get internships, class difficulty, research opportunities, laboratories, etc.?

Also I am interested in the honors college as well as the 5 year accelerated masters program.

I will have about 16 ap classes taken when I graduate highschool so I was wondering if I should use them to skip 2/3 semesters so I can and get bachelors and masters in 4 years. Anyone else done this?

Finally if any of you guys are National Merit Finalists, what do you think about the package?

Thanks everyone

Value of a Masters in MIS through AMP?

Was curious if anyone has completed a masters in MIS or has any data on how much it tends to increase earnings or job potential as opposed to just simply getting the bachelors degree or if it is worth it.

Thanks for any info you have!

Out of State Transfer

I got accepted into University of Alabama, and also an in-state school. If I go to Alabama, I will likely complete most general/pre reqs for nursing from community college (MN). Any out of state transfers here? Is it worth it? I just need an idea of how others experiences were like as an out of state transfers. I don't plan on doing greek life but I just want a new environment because I feel stuck at my current school, and I heard their nursing school is good. But I literally don't know where to go so I just need peoples experiences in general.

Is it ok to wait for my classes to finish to apply as a transfer in December.

I’m planning on applying in December to a number of colleges as a transfer student from a cc, but my GPA took a hit due to personal reasons in my first semester so I’m working to get it back up. My original plan is to wait for my classes to finish so my gpa will get to where I would prefer it to be for applications (2.59 as of rn). Im past the transfer requirements for most school, But I might have to apply earlier since off campus housing for many universities will steadily go up the longer you wait.

Engineering Tour Guide

Hey y'all, I've been trying to find applications for this everywhere. I'm sure I've probably missed the deadline for spring but I just wanted to double check cause I haven't heard anything either.

Also just a regular tour guide too.
