I messed up in high school. I dropped out and obtained my GED. But it has been 3 years since high school and for the past 2 years I've been working my butt off at community college. Now I want to transfer to a university. I have a 4.0 GPA and extremely high SAT and ACT scores. I have a ton of extracurriculars and a load of volunteer work. That being said, how much will my awful high school history matter to high ranking universities?

Hi, I am an 18 year old male, about to graduate from highschool. Unfortunately, I have no idea of what I want to do. My courses are pretty crummy; only maths and sciences (and english). Marks are in the mid-high 80 range, not to spectacular and I am open to all suggestions.
The only thing I look for in a job, as of right now, is money (pretty shallow I know). All suggestions are more than welcome. I thank you in advance.

I'm interested in going to Law School but my UGPA is 2.9 and my lsat was 162, not good enough for a tier 1 school. Everything I'm reading is negative unless you attend Harvard/Yale?Stanford. With tuition being what is it, is it even worth investing over $100k + 3yrs if I won't be able to interview or have access to getting a job at a BIGLAW firm, which pays $125k salaries...?

how much weight does columbia put on community service for accepting undergrads? I have about 100-120 hours on record and hope it will help me. If this helps, my gpa is close to a 4, I've taken all the APs and difficult courses I can, and I'm part of several clubs. My SAT score, I have yet to get back but I'm confident I scored around 1700-1800 based on PSAT results.

I'm a senior in St. Louis, MO and I've been considering Physical Therapy as a career.
I applied to Saint Louis University and Maryville University in St. Louis. I got accepted to both.

However, Saint Louis University has been my 1st choice but if I go there I only get $1000 scholarship every year which means I'll end up having to pay about $27,000 per year. I just got a letter from Maryville and they're giving me a scholarship of $5,500 per year. Meaning each year I'll only have to pay $13,000.

I don't want to base my decision on the tuition. But, I come from a really, really poor family!
What would you do?

I'm a returning adult student (early 30s), currently attending community college. I am preparing to transfer to university. I recently (two days ago) realized, much to my dismay, that some of the schools I want to apply to require SAT score. I've never taken the SAT ever! So, I signed up for the Jan 26 test, ordered some study guides and enrolled in the College Board's official online study program.

I took my first practice test yesterday and scored:
CR: 690
W: 630
M: 470
(1790)

I'm okay with the critical reading and writing scores, I think I can easily get them up over 700 with some studying. I'm concerned about the math. I should be able to get it up to between 500 - 600, but doubt I will get much higher. Looking at Princeton Review's report of average SAT score by college it is clear that they overwhelmingly admit students with higher math scores.

I'm a journalism major with a 3.9 gpa. Is my math score going to keep me from getting into a good college?
