it makes me feel better about it just...hearing these...i have graduated....not with my class....but we had an arrangment with the school so i could get my diploma not just GED...when I was done with my correspondence courses...and I'm taking...an "intro to the collge exprience" class right now at the local community college...so I guess I'm on the right track

Absolutely. If your sickness is the reason for your setbacks, then just about all colleges will take that into consideration. Indeed, if your sickness is documented, then any college that doesn't take that into consideration could well be in violation of the law. If you are still sick and have a disability that will interfere with your ability to take classes, then colleges are obligated by law to make reasonable accommodation for your condition.
Good luck with your college applications!

YES!
Please go to college. You might have to start at a local Junior college. You might have to repair your gpa. Study for the ACT, get a good score, and as long as you graduate from HS, you can get into college. Make it a goal, don't give up on it.

Of course you still have a chance! Never let anything stand in your way of what you want. Just make sure you do the best you can throughout the rest of your high school year

I think you should. I don't know what my GPA is. I'm a soph. and i've goofed off from 7th grade. I failed three classes this semester. algebra, biology and civics. How do you fail civics!? But i honestly think you have a chance. nOt all colleges actually go by you gpa.

You sure do have a chance at college. I suggest you do what you can to go. It might help out to go to a community college, then transfer to a four year college. Good luck. You can do it! :)

I would recommend an interview with the colleges you plan on attending and explaining that.
