Yes, you definatly could. Many colleges and universities today are attempting to thrive themselves on diversity. Remember to keep that in mind. I do't recommend you apply to the most competative schools, however I do suggest you apply to schools with good programs which will cater to you as an idividual. With your grades being average, a smaller school may benefit you in your college career to get the attention needed to maintain in a much higher pace of education. Also keep in mind the possibilities of transfering. You can transfer from a 2 year or a 4 year school. Many schools do not require you to declare an official major untill you approach your junior year. With that in mind you could take your freshmen and sophmore classes somewhere in which you can be comfortable and advance academically. This will also give two additional years for the final school you apply to see your progression. Call schools in which your are interested. They should be able to give or show you where to get statistics on the previous entering class as far as GPA, SAT scores, class rank, and the average number of AP classes taken. Also ask about application fee waivers. If you qualify, it will not matter if you apply because it will not cost you anything.

Your chances of getting into a four year school depend on what school you are interested in. Without good grades and scores high ranked schools will be out of your reach. However, I am sure there are some schools that you will be able to get into. Also, if you are a senior you must start applying to schools IMMEDIATELY! The longer you wait, the harder it will be to get into a school because schools typically admit students on a rolling basis. This means that students who already turned in their apps are only competing with other students who turned in their app early. As the school gives more offers out, that means there are less offers to be given and more people will be competing for those few spots.

Yes, you will be accepted to a 4-year university. When you complete your applications, emphasize what you have accomplished even if your grades are only so-so. I think you can bring a lot to a college environment and all of your activities shows that you can handle multiple responsibilities. The community service should be emphasized more as it shows that you give your time to help others.

You'll definitely get in somewhere - there are thousands of colleges in the US. Get a general idea of where in the country you'd like to live and what you might like to major in, and go talk to your guidence counselor. They'll help you find a school you'll like and get into.

I would start off in a 2 year community college. Are you legal?

It may not be an ivy league school, but you will definitely get accepted by a 4-year public school.
