Absolutely. You will certainly need to raise your GPA above a "C" and start studying for entrance exams like the ACT or SAT. It is certainly not too late for you to achieve a higher GPA, so work hard in school for the next two years and really dedicate yourself to that task. Another aspect that colleges and universities look at are extra curricular activities (ie: what you do outside of class) sports, clubs, volunteer work and the like. If you haven't participated in anything.... START!!! The college experience is partially about grades, partially about socializing and mostly about self organization/self discipline. No one wins money at work.... we all earn it, and there is plenty for you to earn as well if you apply yourself and make that commitment to your education and reach down inside of yourself and tap into what drives you!! If you have a school guidance counselor or 'college adviser', that person should see so much of you in the next two years, that they will want to see you leave and wind up in the school of your choice, not the one that you settled for!! Work hard, push yourself and make it happen!!

Yes, you can go to a university if you don't have money. Apply for financial aid, work study or find a regular job and pay what what courses you can afford for the semester. It might take longer but try not to take loans and end up forever in debt.
If you feel you are not prepared enough to go to a university start off at your local community college and take the basics. Thats the first two years required for any four year degree. Talk to a counselor at the community college. If you have a low economic standing you might get a federal grant that you don't have to repay unless you drop out. The grant might cover a full course load and books at a community college.
Try to work on your math, vocabulary, and reading as much as you can. That way you won't be required to take alot of required non-credit courses that don't earn you credit towards graduation and that you still have to take and pay for while in college in order to get to the college level. TIP: If you dont know what to major in take the basics that way you have two years to decide and you might start getting prepared by visiting your school counselor or advisor and explaining this to her/him it's never to early to start getting ready. Also, talk with your teachers about getting extra help to become better prepared.
P.S If you graduate from a community college you might earn a transfer scholarship to the university of your choice if you earn good grades. If you know what you want to major in by then you might also get a scholarship from that department.

It is never too late to START WORKING. Your "C" average is not going to help you in college. It is not about getting INTO college. It is about STAYING IN college. Start developing some excellent study skills and you will be OK. You might need to go to Jr. College to pick up the skills that you've neglected in High School. So What? Just do it. Once you get out of Jr. College with excellent grades and a WINNING attitude, you will be ready for University-Level work. Hey, there is no easy way out! You want money, work for it! Good luck to you.

If you're going into the 11th grade, then you aren't too late. Pick up your grades now, and the marked improvement will show well on your transcripts. Study up for the SAT and ACT's, and next year apply for college loans. You may need to get an AA at a community college, depending on how full the school you want to go to is, and then just transfer in as a junior. It's not too late, but act now!

I consider you to an quantity. I agree that Ivy League faculties are company, and that employability has exchange into the incentive in the back of coaching. the concern is however, ranges are extra mandatory now than ever until now. it rather is not any longer all hype. North united statesa. has moved right into a positioned up-business age, meaning that provider industries are extra substantial than production industries to the monetary equipment. those varieties of jobs require coaching to be effectual, and residing conveniently demands money (for many folk, besides). Even the fundamentals, like having a advantageous abode, or a automobile to get to artwork, or to consume healthy nutrition, all require a robust earnings. There are some human beings preferring the organic existence-type, and stay in tents or small eco-hotels, or regardless of, and that i'm happy they are chuffed. yet I, and maximum of the folk, might extremely have the advantageous abode.

Get on-line and start researching local community colleges in your area. I'm a huge advocate for attending good community collges. In two years you will come away with an associate degree in a career field that interests you, ready to start employment, or ready to transfer to a four-year college. Once you find that place, contact their financial aid office. They'll help you find a way to pay for your college costs. Good luck!
