Answer 1

Do you want to go to college? If you do, then you have options with a 3.2 - maybe not UC, but there are plenty of schools that are not as quite as selective (most campuses of UC are pretty top tier). My son and many of his friends had an overall GPA of 3.0 - 3.3 and most of them got into very competitive schools this year.

Don't think you have to go to Community College because of a 3.2 gpa - although it is an excellent option, at a much lower cost, while you figure out what you want to do...

Answer 2

I think that you still have a chance at college.

Here are the steps you need to take.
1. Figure out what you want to do in life. What interests you? What are you good at? Ask these questions and find a major or job that fits you.
2. Figure out how you will achieve that goal. Would you need to go to college? If so, for how long?
3. If you decide you want to go to college, figure out what you are looking for in a college. In a city or small town? Large or small campus? Plenty of activities? Price? Location? etc
4. Now, start researching colleges with these aspects, but make sure you look for your major or field of study. Start in your state, then if you want, look at colleges in the country. Visit the colleges.

Step number one may take a year to figure out, but that is okay. Take your time and make sure you are happy with your desicion.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Yes I suggest you take all your undergraduate classes at your local Community college to prove and improve yoru grades before moving on to the University. This will also give you time to think about what major you want and also save you time and money. You will them be able to go int as a Junior.

Answer 4

for sure there are tons of colleges out there. you might try a community college for your first two years and then move up to a regular 4-year college. course, at some point you'll need to get those grades up!
