Answer 1

It also depends on how well you did on your SAT or ACT.

Competition to get into college is tough; they are looking for well-rounded individuals. Which means involvement in student government or outside activities. Charity work will also be taken in account.

If you want to get into a college then start applying. If you get rejected by the college that you want to attend then go to a lesser college or a Junior College. The admission requirements are less strict there. Once you have taken some courses, and done well, then reapply to the college of your choice. You will have a better chance of getting in. If you don’t get accepted then you can still reapply, if you have taken college level courses then you will improve your chance. If you keep applying then you will show your continued interest.

Major Colleges and Universities expect that a certain percentage of freshmen will drop out, unable to complete the courses or make the standards, so their will be some slots open; especially, if you apply for the Spring Semester when most of the high school students are still in school.

Another thing you can do is to go to a Junior College this summer after getting out of high school. You can take a few college courses then, to prove you can cut it. The summer has two semesters so if you are rejected by a college you want to attend then take 6 credit hours of classes during the first session and apply for your favorite college right after that and still be accepted in time for the start of the Fall Semester.

The advantage of going to a Junior College first is that you can get some of those prerequisite courses out of the way (it will also be cheaper which your dad will appreciate). Almost every college and university will want you to take history, English, and math courses. You can get those courses anywhere and most colleges will allow you to transfer them. Check the course catalog (and buy a catalog NOW) for the college you want to attend so you can make sure that you are taking equivalent courses.

Colleges and Universities are for profit organizations, they will not accept a student who cannot pay for college. You should look into finical aid now; it is not too early to do so. If you have good finical backing then that is another point in your favor. You could get a PEL Grant or look into other programs. There are a lot of programs, more than you would think. If you have some financial backing then you are showing initiative and intent, which are good, signs for a college.

You do seem to have a respectable GPA, of course the higher the better. But, that is not the only measure of your success as a student. The college board of Admissions wants to interview prospective students and weigh them and ALL that they have done up to that point, your grades is just one aspect. When I was accepted to college I had a lot of A's and B's, but I also had two F's, and a C in typing, along with a D in Spanish. I was not only accepted, but the college wanted to put me into an honors English and History program. The college looked at all that I had done, and those Fs were in advanced courses (at least I had attempted them). They took a chance on me and accepted me.

You can still get in, but you'll not likely get into the most selective schools. Bring you grades up if possible. They only seem trimester or semester grades anyways.
