Unless you're trying to get into an Ivy League University, you stand a good chance of getting into whatever school you want. My Learning Disabled nephew was accepted by a large variety of schools that he'd applied to last year. Evidently, the wise thing to do is apply early!

You'll be fine. Ole Miss (due primarily to the state of education in Mississippi) only requires a 2.5 GPA and a 16 ACT to get in, or a 2.0 with an 18ACT. Many schools will weight AP classes (since AP classes are standardized and their instructors are required to be certified) for your GPA, but honors classes will not be weighted. Just work as hard as you can on the GPA, take the SAT or ACT as many times as you can to bring your scores up, and I'm sure it'll work out for you!

Depends on what college you're applying to. If you apply somewhere like in Montana or Wyoming and you have the money, you can get in.
Just from experience have fun in college but don't completely blow it, 'kay? Remember, you will have to pay those student loans back....hopefully with help from your new job!
Good Luck!

If daddy's rich or a political guy, you might. But honestly, no.
Maybe you can look at your other strengths. I finished two trades and made my own business after an acquired disability made it impossible for me to work to make money for some other chump.

Yes, George W. Bush is a prime example of the answer to your question.
