High school senior here, currently touring Auburn. Toured UA last week, I love that UA really feels like a college and Auburn to be honest feels like it would be really tough on me. Honestly I am not the best academically but when I try and study I can have straight 100’s, so I could do it. What sold you on UA vs Auburn? Was it a since childhood thing, degree choice, or? I am not sure about degree/career yet so that may end up being what helps me decide. I’m leaning UA but I just cannot decide, and my family being all Auburn grads does not help.

Just diagnosed two weeks ago, put out of football and other contact sports. Still have not had a follow up but my Chiari is Type 1 and it is 7 mm “deep” I guess? I am new to this and it kind of freaks me out. Help please 😭

I’m 17 and going into my senior year of high school. I’ve struggled with math since 7th grade but honestly did good in geometry and enjoyed it, but in pre - calculus for 3/4 of the year didn’t care and then I realized these years are forming the rest of my life and I locked in and made a 92 on my final. Proving that I can do a lot more math than I think I can, but I think I’m too far behind to go to school to be a mechanical engineer. I’d like to blame my teachers which are almost to blame, but 7th-8th grade pre-algebra, algebra 1, and algebra 2 in 10th were all struggles for me. The basic surface level of algebra is really a blur to me. I was wondering if it people be a good idea for me to even pursue or should I give up and look into other careers? I’m mechanically inclined but math is my biggest issue. I live in Alabama and can go to school on the GI Bill, so my goal is Auburn obviously, I’m working on it but as of now my ACT being a 21 is the ugliest part of my resume, I know Alabama has a school for mechanical engineering but Auburn is still the goal. I don’t know much about the career I kind of had ChatGPT ask me a bunch of questions and get to know me and give me ideas for careers. Thanks in advance, not looking to be shunned.
