I'm a lousy high school student- but I have a scheme going on, give me some quick feedback!!!?

Question

K, I'm a terrible high school student (junior) but only because I don't do anything and I'm uberly lazy when it comes to school work. I COULD do really well, I'm really bright, but instead of writing my english homework, I read War and Peace- thats why I'm so bad. But I have a plan. See, there is a local community college. If I take a years worth of college over the summer (which I could handle) could I apply to a college with that and point to that and say, in efffect, "Ignore my high school stuff?" My high school only allows 20 credits to be transfered to my high school transcript, so I'm wondering if I could apply with a community college one instead of the high school one. Me and my schemes...but seriously, its people like me who scheme from Day one who pull it off, I'm telling you.

Answer 1

I attend a major university and I know TONS of people who did badly in high school but are making it fine here (which of course means they got in). Most schools I know of look at ACT/SAT more than GPA but if it is still a problem then perhaps you should consider the community college. Although taking a years worth is a lofty goal, even for a community college. If you can do it that's great but make sure you will get all A's don't take any more classes than you can get A's (which you can assess after the first day of class & you receive the syllabus). Also, your senior year would be a good time to start studying. I talked to recruiters in hs who said that improving your GPA your senior year shows initiative and that you want to go to college. At an interview you can say something about how you decided that this university is where you wanted to go and since making that decision you have done everything you could to get in and do well there (even if you tell more than one that!)

Answer 2

Oh yea, high school doesn't really matter! I barely graduated from high school. Infact, at my graduation I wasn't even sure I was graduating. Not because I was stupid. I would get all A's on my tests. It's because I was bored! I hated the pointless assignments that high school teachers would give. I hated the classes since most information is given within the first 10 to 15 minutes and the rest is repeat in another teaching style. And this was at a private school where American and Canadian universities add an extra 10 - 15% on the final grades because the quality of education was supposed to be better (sounds fishy I know, but schools have told me this personally)

I did okay on the ACT even though I didn't study (by then I was so depressed what did it matter) so I was in the 80th and 90th percentiles, but chose not to go to a American school. I'm Canadian, so what I did was go to a community college for a year after high school. I got all A's and A+'s and then applied to university.

The good thing about college and university is that depending on what you study you don't have a lot of those pointless assignments that you do in high school and occasionally it's challenging and not just time managment wise either! Most of your grade is determined by a couple of tests and some papers or short essays. If you really feel like you are wasting your time, I think you should drop out. Get your GED and then go to a post secondary school. That's what my lover is doing now. I feel like I wasted a few good years of my life where I could have been doing something more meaninful because I didn't realise just how much high school doesn't matter.

Answer 3

alot of people go to community colleges for many reasons. they dont have enough money, they're not ready to leave, they don't think they're smart enough. all i can say is i was one of those people. i went to a community college for 2 years right out of high school because i diddnt get accepted to my first choice four-year school. then i applied as a transfer student to the same school and got accepted because of my hard work at the community college. i would say for the most part, when applying as a transfer student, they look at your college gpa, rather than what you did in high school. most colleges dont even require sat test scores for transfer applications.
by the way, i had an 85% gpa in high school, and got rejected from cornell university, an ivy league school. 2 years later i got accepted as a transfer, with a 3.9 gpa from my community college. so all im saying is there is hope if you want to get in a good school if you f-ed things up a little in high school. just be patient, and most importantly, do what makes you happy

Answer 4

I think what you'll find is that you will be just as lazy when it comes to college as you are in high school, take it from a guy whose been there and is now close to thirty. You gotta do well in high school and the reason you're not is because it doesn't challenge you once you understand it, its just busy work to you. Get used to it, that's life. Find an outlet that challenges you on the side and start dealing with the boring redundancy that is high school. You'll thank yourself later.

Answer 5

I dont think of the assumption of maternity bypass away will impression different little ones to have a toddler. i think of little ones at the instant are not uncovered to the real international of what's it prefer to have a toddler. some think of a toddler is purely a play element and a few thing to teach off to every physique around them. Maternity bypass away for any mom (teen or not) is great. the toddler is the harmless guy or woman and merits to have that bonding 2d. i think of sweet sixteen mothers would desire to be supervised in this era simply by fact they are nonetheless immature and egocentric and may be able to not understand that it is not approximately them anymore, that's all relating to the toddler's needs. Maternity bypass away is significant to the toddler's progression and returned for the bonding sake.

Answer 6

good luck.

but its people like you who don't get hired... :) at a first interview, they ask you, and scam ppl don't usually make the cut. If you are really bright as you say, you should see past high school AND college.

You'd do better to cut your losses, and go to work. maybe your planning and schemes will be more useful there.

Answer 7

So what's going to change between your work ethic now, and your work ethic at community college? Also, to take more than one class at a time, you most likely will need a high school diploma, or at least a GED.

Answer 8

Okay, sounds ok,, BUT some colleges will only let you take a limited number of hours/credits per session(s) in the summer. In theory it is a good idea....it is sorta what I did. good luck!!

Answer 9

You look at rules and regulations and see if its doable. This is not rocket science or praying to god, this is just looking at the rules and judging if yours is doable.
