i am an 18 year high school senior and i am going to uga for pharmaceutical studies. my entire life, I’ve been a great student. i feel like i don’t give myself enough credit. i have only had a B once and it was one semester of AP Physics. I have a 4.3 weighted GPA, top 10%, academic awards wtv. i am looking into housing w a roommate and im realizing how much is on my back w uni. i got my full tuition covered by zell miller so we are only paying for housing and everything else. im estimating the cost to be around 10k or 11k a year (my brother is paying like 9k a semester but it’s bc he lost a scholarship. he isn’t going to uga tho he’s in atl) but this price point really scares me. i need to keep a 3.3 to maintain zell miller and im scared that my ”luck“ might run out of smth. idk if its imposter syndrome or what. im clearly very capable to doing well in school but i have this feeling in my stomach that everything will go to shit and my family will be stuck in a financial hole. I’ve applied for so many scholarships (even local ones) and I haven’t gotten any. it makes me feel inadequate, especially since at my awards night I saw all these seniors I knew winning scholarships that I either had no idea about or applied to and didn’t get. idk I think im spiraling a little bit and I don’t know how to get out of this mindset. it’s very stressful. any advice on financial aid, mental health, education, god wtv you think I need is appreciated.
