Is it possible to go to school and model part-time? Or do catalogue modeling for now?

You can do both but i reccomend you try modeling before you even think about giving up college if you don't like it you will be stuck for a year, college is very important but if you are a model it does not really matter, however if you don't want to be a model for the rest of your life you have to think about what jobs you will be able to get in ten years time, with no college degree and having not had any jobs other than modeling for ten years. Do not throw you life down the drain for a dream but also don't give up on yours dreams to go to college if you really don't want to. here some advise if you do want to model:
I have heard a lot of bad thing about SOME (not all) modelling agencies and how they make you pay for photos and photo sessions before they take you on then never give you any work. Always check with the local Better Business Bureau in teh US or Trading Standards in the Uk or Similar organisation elsewhere.
I think a better starting place before you go to agencies is if you have a friend who is reasonable with a camera (do not have to be a professional or even that good just okay) Just take 100 photos of yourself in different poses, clothing and backgrounds then pick out 10-20 nice photos. You can then use this as a portfolio, and even better instead of printing them which cost you money every time, host them on a website and get some business cards print with the website address on and just hand these out instead. This is a far cheaper way of doing it and with no RISK. You should never have to pay to get a job if you do there is a high chance it is a scam.
However if you would like a personal portfolio site please contact me and I will set you on up for free. I can design you a fully personalised flash website with as much or little information and then host it for you. This site can contain a gallery of your photos, personal information, list of work, contact details, etc or if you prefer just a couple of photos and nothing else. It can be password protected and all images will be protected as is humanly possible, or the photos can be available to download.
Examples of work can be provided on request. Just message me here if you want, I am a professional website designer but have lots of free time (and enough money) so I am currently doing free sites for small bands, small artist etc, basically anyone who could not afford them otherwise. I have my own hosting server so can offer hosting servers or you can host the site yourselves. No images sent to me will be used for anything other than your site and I will not give anyone your detail or link to the site. You will have complete control and the site can be removed or changed at any time. This is not a scam and I will design a site for FREE, I do not need the money, and enjoy working. If you do want it message me you can tell me what you want and how you want it done and I will help.
Depending how old you are I may require parents permission before i will do any work.

Look...you have to think of your future first. I have a friend who is a model (she´s beatiful) but she´s also going to the university. Your model career has an expiration date and you need to have a back up. Besides that there´s 50 famous model who make a lot of $$ but the rest no. So, try to keep both things and if you are lucky enough maybe you will be as famous as Tyra or someone else ...but remember that is always better to be pretty and intelligent than just a pretty face.

Well if you want to model you better do it while your young...College would be a better idea, because there are to many out there who want to be models and they should have went to college, its hard to get in to. You could do it part time while in college.

I feel like if you think you can make it as a model then do that but if your major in college will bring you more money then do that. Just follow your heart it knows best.

Girls do both all the time.....that's how they pay. Modeling is a very short career go to college so you'll have something to fall back on when it's over.

Please go to college. You can major in fashion design or something. I have a friend who works with models, and I hate the idea of other women ending up like those poor girls with like four kids from four different trashy fathers and never having a job outside the home except for those couple all-too-brief years of modeling. Save yourself! Get an education. Please!

College and modeling on the side. You can combine fun and school together. Just let your agent know that you are available only on the weekends and during your breaks. They can have you for the entire summer and entire month during winter!
