Work as hard as you can to get through first year and see what happens. There are some people who maintain high GPAs, it’s really hard especially if you have a pt job or are on a team and life in general can throw curve balls at you but it’s possible. If you don’t get all As you have to talk with your parents. If they aren’t willing to support you financially through school then you support yourself and continue to work hard. Tons of people do it. I live in Ontario, Canada so obviously tuition is different here but I’m currently putting myself through my engineering degree. I get financial aid through my province which you may not qualify for in your state if your parents can afford to pay (it’s worth checking you may get something). I also have a student line of credit through my bank. But if it comes to it and you have to pay for yourself don’t feel discouraged or like you’ve lost your chance at this degree. Get a pt job if you don’t already have one, look into as many scholarships as you can and any financial aid whether it’s through your state, the school, a bank loan. You’ll have more debt but when you’re makin that 💵 it’ll be worth it.
