C's and some D's throughout HIGH SCHOOL....Good College?

Question

I have a high IQ, and I constantly told by my teachers I am extremely smart yet extremely lazy and unmotivated. I really have been depressed this summer (going into my senior year) because I dont want to become a joke of a person. I want to make my parents extremely proud. I want to live and work in my place of love, Manhattan. I want to be the best I can be, because I know I am different than most people. I just do not feel my grades reflect any hint of my wisdom, nor my intelligence. I recently took the SAT and barely prepared, infact I really didnt even prepare and got in the high 1400's. My parents constantly ask me why i dont share my genius, and I just shrug my shoulders and say "I wish I knew". I feel like I can be an AMAZING person, a role model for a lot of people. I want to get into a great public/private school, or ATLEAST a SUNY, such as Geneseo or Binghamton, but I just do not know how. I need to show them I am a step above other humans, that I am not like the rest. HELP

Answer 1

I really believe that you can be all that you think you are, but you need to do something to stop the drift now. If I were you, I would do two things; get tested for a learning disability, and see if you could be helped pharmacologically for depression. You need to see a psychiatrist for an assessment. I'm not saying get all drugged up, but if you are really depressed, you will get nowhere (take it from someone who has been there).

A big reason why many people don't do well is that they are underchallenged and become unmotivated, and it is a vicious cycle. College may very well be the place where you shine.

If you have had C's and D's throughout high school, you aren't going to get into the colleges you mention right now, no matter what you do. Rather than going to a really bad 4-year school, go to a community college for two years and transfer to a place of your dreams. If you want to, you can go to a community college out of state, so that you could live where you want and still move in the direction of your goals. Just find out what the best 2-year college is and apply there.

Answer 2

Some colleges will overlook your gpa if your test scores etc are really high, however its necessary to put your best application and essay forward when applying to these colleges. I suggest researching a bit more about the colleges you may want to consider and what they require from students. I'm also a highly unmotivated person, but considered genius by most of my teachers just because of the work I can do if I try. Actually try, to try in your classes this upcoming year, if you're as smart as you seem you'll be able to get satisfactory grades without doing much. Good luck with finding a good college, and make sure you have several back up colleges planned out.

Answer 4

You had better work like crazy right from day one this year and request that colleges view you change. I would rather have a hard-working slower person working for me than a smart person who is a goof-off. I can always know what to expect from the first. The second is a loose cannon.
