<prompt> Human: Hey all, Im a first time poster on here. I got in a butt load of trouble by my parents last year I am a senior in high school this year after being caught with some drugs. As a punishment, my parents will not help at all financially with me going to college. I am an all A student and scored pretty high on the SAT and ACT 1370,31. Im really hoping that I can get a full paid scholarship, but I know the chances are slim.My question is, what are my options for attending college without any parental help if I didnt get that full ride Im banking on. private loans, federal loans, etc.? As a family that makes 200,000 a year, there is no way I will get any money from FAFSA.Any advice is much appreciated!  <response>: Your options are not great. Becoming an independent student for the purposes of financial aid is really difficult. Pounding the pavement for scholarships and aid is very important. I dont know if its realistic that a lower ranked school will give you a full scholarship, but thats what Id aim towards. There is community college and then transferring to a 4 year school, but whats really going to mess you up is the gap between the cost of the 4 year school living costs and how much youll receive in federal aid.See what you can do to patch things up with your parents.
