Never getting to go to uni:-(

Forget the past.

Go into an admissions office. Or make an appointment via phone. Ask the security guard where the admissions office is.

Tell the admissions person your concerns. They are better about things than in the old days. Don’t get upset if you don’t understand at first. Ask the admissions person to explain. Your goal is to apply for college.

Do the same things you did at SFCC.

You might be able to fill out the FAFSA the same day.

Above all, have patience. Save the irritation for after your meeting. Rant all you want on WP, not at the admissions person. Even if you think they’re part of some “complex” or other.

It won’t be that hard, Ezra.

It’s mostly your personal info and your high school info.

They’ll probably ask permission to get your high school transcripts.

You might have to write an essay telling why you want to attend college/that particular college......but maybe not.

You have to get financial info from your parents when you fill out the FAFSA. They probably should fill it out for you, in fact, because their financial info might be private.

Also, make sure your vaccinations are up to date.

You have to know your Social Security Number, Ezra.

I think it’s because ASS-P has anxiety about college applications, and bad experiences with college people.....much more than an actual inability to fill out the application.

Truthfully, I believe any literate person can fill out a college application. ASS-P is a literate man. He probably needs emotional support.

At the library, ask one of the staff to walk you through how to get on the website of the college, and their online applications. Once you get there, fill it out typing, then ask one of the staff how to submit it.

Remove that number immediately, if it’s your SS number.

Never post it on the Internet among strangers.

I should have known.......

...Ezra, " consulting someone " is hardly the " doing it all alone " that I get ordered I must do. Apparently you're allowed to do that but I'm not . Some people here tell me You! Cannot! Ask! For! Any! Help! and announce I Did It All Alone - they're LYING .
This post is general, Ezra, it is not all aimed at you. I put multiple things in one post.
I Don't, as I said, think I will get help on this on WP - For one, the people screaming that I was The Evil Bastard Of The Century for asking for help, yes, after I had been spit in the face by the C-IC, rather drowned everyone out . I really did make attempts to get in, and they were, in fact, by myself - or close to it. Maybe if I got that down somebody would believe me and conclude I deserve some sympathy - and help . I have thought of having a tattoo of a tear/s coming down my face but apparently that's symbolic of having killed somebody.
Again, Ezra, maybe you're allowed to ask somebody. According to people on WP I' m not .
I think I came up with logical reasons for wanting to live on campus.
Yes, I think I would like people around me where it's alright to read! That is, if I'm up to it anymore .
If I can't go to university maybe I will just let all ideas of greater education sail away into the land of " never " .
I list two?? drafts of this .
Even if going to u I happens - and people here think I shouldn't do it - I Don't think it will ever be as good as it cold have been. I'm old and crippled now.











te="ASS-P"]...I just Don't understand this apparent obsession by some with the idea that a would.be student can, absolutely cold, with no help whatsoever, fill in a form. Paper or cyber, and they will get in. with no consulting anyone whatsoever [/quote]

What you do, is what I am going to have to do. You consult people at the college whose job it is to be consulted. Who else would you consult about the college you are going to, than the college consultant anyways? They are the ones who know the answers to how that college form is supposed to be filled out. Joe Blow on Wrong Planet is not going to know jackshit about it.

I am a very slow learner. It might take me a couple of weeks or more and many failed attempts before I get it right. That's always been my pattern. But what I know for sure is that, no one on Wrong Planet is going to be able to help me out with it. College staff, yes. The college website FAQ, yes. Instructional videos on Youtube, yes. Wrong Planet, no.[/quote]

[EDIT: Sorry for posting. I want to help, but I suck at it, and will go away now.]

I confess: I pay a mechanic to fix my car.

I think ASS-P, with maybe some guidance from a social worker, could easily apply to college.

He can go to an advisor to register for classes. He would have to have a least a meeting with an advisor in order to register. Then he can register online. Once he does it the first time, it’ll be easier for him to do it afterwards.
