There are any number of online sources to help you with this. My personal favorite is: http://www.collegedata.com/\n\nAnother good source is your high school guidance counselor.\n\nYou certainly seem to have the requisite maturity to do well in college. Good luck!

There are alot of "good colleges", but when it comes to choosing a school you need to think about your own personal needs and interests first. Do you want an art school? greek dominated or not? private or public? far from home or an hour away? 50,000 students or 500? (if you aren't sure what you want to do major wise I suggest a larger school with more options) and also especially how much money you are willing to spend.\n\nI suggest making a list of things you are interested in and what you might want out of college and go from there. Start checking out university websites as well. I'm currently a sophmore in college and collegeboard.com was a HUGE help, as was princeton review, especially in the begining stages of the college search. Both sites have quizzes that help you sort through colleges, and on collegeboard you can create an account and keep a list of the schools you like.\n\nGood Luck! =)

You do the work that is available, whatever that may be. This will help you get money for books, if there is help at the college you attend, apply there, They may know of work that is available for students. Sooner or later you need to come to a decision of what you would like to do, or you would be floating through life without an aim.What are you good at, and what are your likes and dislikes? Even the very best job you may get will take some adjustments and have in it something or someone, you will have to learn to cope with. Best of luck.

If you wrote your question and comments yourself, I'd say you have some pretty good skills!  You sound as if you are able to put some serious thought into this and able to consider what might be the best thing to do.  If you have not already done so, have a serious discussion about this with your parents and your guidance counselor if your school has one.\n\nYou have to take control of your own destiny.  You still have some time to work on skills.  Check out the possibilities of getting some tutoring.  Many communities have options for free tutoring through volunteers.  Your high school may have a program where students tutor other students.  If not, maybe this can be your opportunity to see if you can get one started.  Does your high school offer an option where you could take an extra year to complete high school?  This is an excellent option for many students.  Also, I bellieve there are study guides available for those tests?  Get a study guide and start working on it.  Get help with it, and see what happens.\n\nI would suggest you try to really figure out what it is you want to do in college.  Based upon your level of ability, and if you truly "test just high enough to exit special education" then you have to figure out if your first choice is a reasonable option for you.  If your first choice turns out to not be a reasonable option (as happens with lots of students), then see if there is some related field or career that would be of interest to you that is a reasonable choice. Remember that today people change jobs frequently, often try many things before they get to the one that is best for them.  Keep your mind and options open.\n\nI would suggest you not permit yourself to put energy into feeling deprived or blaming anyone.  The past happened, and is past - it can't come back.  Take control of your life and begin to work toward what you want.  That's where you need to put your energy.  Make the most of each day and move forward in samll steps.  Face life and your future positively and assertively.  \n\nThe past is history, tomorrow's a mystery.  Today is a gift - that's why we call it the present.  Do and be your best today.  Work toward your goals.  Tomorrow will come, and if you do your best today, tomorrow will take care of itself.\n\nGood luck with the days ahead.  I wish you all the best in you future.

Go to The King's Academy because if you don't you won't get into a good college and poor study skills will be the least of your worries. Just try to apply yourself and remind yourself that how well you do in high school and college will directly affect the quality of life you will have as an Adult. Good Luck.

It all depends on where you live and what field you want to persue your study. If you live in the United States, go to the closest library to you and find this book: "Comprehensive guide to the best colleges and universities in the U.S." When I first came to the U.S., it provided me with a lot of introduction to colleges and universties. Hope you get all your answers there.

Your best bet would be to go see a counselor at the college you want to go to and see what they say. In some universities, all you really need is enough college hours on a junior college level to be able to get into a senior college. Good luck to you!

Go to a community college for a year, make sure your grades are good, and then go wherever you want.  Tell your counselor that enouragement like theirs has no place in the education system.

Every college has different standards in terms of what it's requirements for admissions. I would recommend checking out the university you're interested in attending and finding out what their standards are.\n\nIf your grades weren't the best in high school, it might behoove you to go to Junior College (Community College) first for a couple of years and then transfer, especially if you've shown that you can attain good grades at a collegiate level.

Excellent  grades.  You could get in a elite college if you maintain those types of grades.  Well done high school\nstudent!

The college you want to attend normally has an admission application. Usually this admission application also has information for financial aid. You may also want to go in and talk to an admission representative at the school, or a high school guidance counselor.

Get financial aid. Also, start out at a community college. Keep your grades way up (try to change those B's to A's), and when you transfer to a 4 year college or university, a scholarship will be very possible. Don't give up on college. Go to a university admissions couselor. Ask her/him what your options are. If you have good grades, they want a student like you in their college, especially if you leave their school beaming about how they helped you reach your dreams. Good luck!

All colleges are basically the same as far as the party scene goes, even the "Christian" colleges.  The best way to pick a college is to a) decide how far away from home you'd be willing to go and b) think about what you'd like to study and attend a college with a notoriously good department in that field of study.

Ask what YOU want to know. Try to ask stuff that you cannot find on the college's site or brochures. Asking some of the college students themselves is a lot of times more rewarding than whoever is leading the tour or session.\n\nA good question is:\nIf there was one thing you would change about this college, what would it be and why?
