teachermom2834 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 There are plenty of schools still accepting applications and some even still accepting scholarship applications. Sure, some have passed but certainly not all. The local Christian U in my town takes applications and awards automatic merit aid right up until classes start. So start checking around places that might work. Definitely limited options but he can still go to a four year school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, with 2 weeks before school started, she filled out the application for IU and got in. Now, that was like 20 yrs ago, but I don't think it's really all that different today. Generally, if someone's got the money to pay, the school will let you in. Getting into the classes he wants might be difficult though.    nm Edited February 20, 2019 by Attolia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondbutterandjelly Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 It looks like he can still apply to UNC Charlotte. Their website says Application completed after February 1, you will be notified by our decision after April 1 on a rolling basis. https://admissions.uncc.edu/freshmen/application-requirements 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Well, he could do a gap year, working on whatever trade he was interested in. I'll throw this out there although you've already shut it down. UAH (Alabama Huntsville) has auto merit & rolling admissions & a super easy apllication. With at least a 3.5 GPA (can be weighted) and a 31 ACT, he qualifies automatically for full tuition. That puts you on the hook for room & board, fees, books, transportation, etc (12k annually?). So, not low, but nothing to sneeze at, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondbutterandjelly Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Also, he could apply now for Spring Entry in the universities whose Fall deadlines have passed. That's an option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
