So go to Rutgers in NJ, hold your nose, and live in a shitty studio flat in Newark for a few years. If that doesn’t work, there’s always University of Maine, U Idaho, and U of Oklahoma that have about 50% acceptance rates.
Not the end of the world if you can graduate with minimal debt and be able to tell your boss to jump in a lake and start your own firm two years out of school.
There are also plenty of state schools that aren’t in as desirable states as AZ — though why a hellhole like AZ is desirable at all still boggles my mind.
