Three things.
1. You can always take the ACT or SAT. It is never too late. I advise taking it, because it can help you gauge what you need to know to succeed in the basics at college.
2. Community colleges will accept ALMOST anyone. Start there, and work your way up! If you work hard and do well, you can get into a university later.
3. Go to a university or community college and talk to their academic advisors. All schools have different requirements, and it is best to go straight to the source to get your information.
It is never too late to go back to school. Good luck!

Maybe--it really depends on the University and if they have met their enrollment quotas. More than likely you'll need to start thinking about community college. There is nothing wrong with this as CC's do an excelelnt job of helping students who weren't ready for a 4-yr university get ready. The best think is that CC's are cheap and have to take you. You can study any subject you choose, any they offer, and can demonstrate your ability to succeed.
You don't necessarily go to a tech program, but coursework in welding could pay for itself when you transfer to a 4-yr school. (Welders make about $15-25 an hour.)

I recall my senior year in 88 and remembering that a SAT is a mandatory requirement by Universities when applying for admission. If you haven't taken any SAT's, you should plan on it.
Otherwise, I would just attend community college and transfer to a university. There is no shame in attending a community college. What matters is the end result.

You can always go to a university, though you may need to start at a local community college. Given your background and GPA, that's what I'd suggest you do. You're more likely to have success starting in a community college program and transferring than going directly to a four-year college. Most colleges will transfer a two-year degree to junior standing.

If you get your high school diploma you can go to University.
The only thing is you might be limited in the courses you take.
For example, I only took one year of High school math so I could not get into Engineering in University. I do not like math though so I took courses that I liked. I now have a degree.
Anything you dream is possible.

It depends on the school you are trying to get into. The best think to do is to contact that school and talk with an admission counselor. They do have conditional options and they be able to give you what is called a residual ACT which is good only at that school. Let know how it works out for you.

It all depends on what you want to major in. Talk to your guidance counsellor and see what they say. You only need to take your SAT's if you live in the U.S.A. or want to go to an university in the U.S.A. Start applying NOW. You don't have much time so choose your universities and see what you need to apply. If you have all of the compulsory courses then apply right away. Good Luck!

definitely attend an accredited junior or community college, focus on academics and do well, then transfer out to a public university. the good thing about junior colleges is that they tend to serve as a place for academic redemption..... universities will also evalutate other credentials such as extracurricular activity and creativity. Good luck!!

I do not know the rules for university entrance in USA but I consider it is never too late to try. I personally attended uni as a mature student with two children to support alone.

i would see if you can take more math... Though most universities will require 4 years of math. What you can do is goto a community college and take courses there to bring you up to speed, then transfer out and start your college career!
