start out at a community college to see what college is like. an average of 80 isn't that high, but you can work hard and raise your average. then if you do well at community college, you can transfer to a larger, 4-year school.

The ONLY marks that a college and or university looks at are grade 11 and 12. If you only repeated one grade, administrators will not likely be able to tell from your age.
80% is a good average! The 'average' qualifying grade is 75%. BUT aside from transcripts, you may be judged on your employment, volunteering, hobbies, and interests! You also may be asked to write an entrance essay.
There is no shame in repeating a grade or not getting into Harvard.
I am just glad to see that you recognize the importance of education in this day and age!
Good luck to you ...

yes, there is a college out there for everyone. explain how you have since improved your study skills and grades and that you will continue to improve after being accepted to their school. talk about other stuff you do such as hobbies. colleges are now looking for more well-rounded people instead of just who sat inside alone and studied the most to get the highest GPA. if you were in a club or a leader of anything, include that in your admissions essay. seek the help of your schools guidance counselor in selecting the right schools for you to apply to or have them look over/help you with your admissions essay.

Of course! That shouldn't be a desicion maker for the college that you were left back in the 9th grade. Honey...a lot of people did and finished college.

I was a high school drop out at one time in my life. I now have a Bachelor's and a Master's degree.
You will be fine but with aj ust a little more hard work I know you can do better. But then again, you already knew that didn't you?

Yes, you can get in. Improved grades as well as your extracurricular activities will help you move on to college and beyond.
My brother was kept back. Not only did he get his B.A., he also went on to Masters and PhD programs.
Good luck.

you may not be able to get into Harvard, but you can still go to college.
