what do colleges look at?

most colleges look at all your years...including senior year...but for GPA they usually look at 10th and 11th some are starting to look at 9th...they also compare you to other students at your school... many colleges take into account also how you spent your summer...like did you have a job, volunteer, take classes. They do look at community service!! I think but am not sure about the getting a B in an AP over A in regular class but i do know that they think it is better that you know your self...meaning that you don't go around taking APs left and right and then getting D's or even F in them. Playing a sport always helps...as does any extracurricular activity......

I think you can talk to your school about it... that's what the colleges around here do.

What type of problems is it?,,, is it in the way you are studying or in the college you are studying in or what?

It really depends on the schools you apply to, and the major you intend to declare. If you didn't do so well on the math section but want to major in History or something, I think most colleges would look past it if you have everything else that they're looking for

well almost every college has these things in some shape or form. Best suggestion talk to your High school counselor and she will help guide you to a school with the best options for what you want to do. Most of your big state universities are excellent in science, tech and architecture however. yahoo also has a college section so you can research schools there.

The Princeton Review Guide to Colleges seems the best "insiders" look at the various schools..also you can pick up the US News and World Report of Colleges and Universities and see how "exclusive" they are and where your department might be ranked nationally.

You can try any of these websites.  They might be what you're looking for.  The College Board one is a very detailed search where you can enter information about what exactly you want in a college.  I hope this helps!

I think colleges tend to be more private, more focused on a particular form and discipline of study, where universities are generalized to many study programs.  Some colleges tend to be smaller, while university tends to be quite large.\n\nI think your analogy runs true in the US as well

If you know what college you want to get in, look it up in your college catalog. Each job field has a little description about it.  Or even better go see a Counselor at a college.\nHere's some sites that might me useful:\nhttp://www.anapsid.org/resources/jobs.html\nhttp://www.learndirect-advice.co.uk/featured/anjobs/

Colleges will barely look at AP scores.  Don't worry if you bombed one of them, especially if it's one that had nothing to do with your intended major.\n\nYour GPA, SAT, activities, application are the main things that they look at.

Go for a college that specializes in the major you want to take up.

That would depend on what textbook you are looking in.  If this is for a class, I'd hate to say it, but you are going to have to look through your notes and/or reading material.
