Well when you are in high school, is some schools there are credits (which is the way I have to do) anyways I have to get 24 credits to graduate from high school to go to college, it is possible for me to be a 3 year grad and not go into my senior year but not quite so sure about 9th grade since I am already in 9th grade.

No - you will be fine.  \n\nThey look at your progress over the entire 4 years, not just one grade given in your senior year.  A 3.7 is fantastic, they won't care.\n\nI had a 2.7 and I still got into college and did very well.  I graduated with a 3.5!

try playboy they always do and annual list to top school for partying. But if your truly looking for a good college lets put academics first. The parties are available at every school. I knew too many people who flunked out of school because of partying (including myself) and trust me its hard to get back in if you flunk out, I got back in by lots of letters or appeal.

Some people get into the college first then take a year or two deferment. If you really don't have a clear idea of what you want to get out of college, taking some time off to work and experience the world is a good idea. When you are ready to go to college, you can always start out in community college. More than a year or two off might make it difficult to go to a traditional college, because by then you will feel a lot older and more experienced than your fellow freshmen. But there are many colleges geared towards older, adult learners, so there is always a way. If you take time off but you had good grades in high school and good SATs, there are many fine colleges that will be happy to offer you admittance.

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......

No it is an excellent idea and you are ahead of most of your classmates at this point.  Continue searching for colleges because your senior year will be so less stressful.

Wow.  You have everything?  Except the .05 for your grades.  Guess what, I got into college with lower than a 2.0 before.  You just need to talk to the teacher and say something like: I really want to go, but will I be able to even though I am .05 below the 8.0 grade scale?  I could boost this up if given the opportunity, but to prevent me from going because of a minor thing such as .05 which is not much compared to 1.0  which is not as close as 7.95 as it is exactly 8.0, so if you are as confused as me, would you consider a solution to this problem because I am so close to having an 8.0.  Do I have to go to summer school to improve that by .05 points in order to go?  Is there something I can do to ensure I can go?  Will I be allowed to go even if I do not meet 8.0?  And out of how many others have perfect scores and are allowed to go?  "Just because something or somebody tells you that you cannot, or you will not do this or that, then you must step up and say how come?  Why?  Then after they answer, do you easily give up?  No, you fight back with your words because you really want to go to L.A.  So, do as I have suggested, stay calm and collected and speak softly, but carry a big stick, that is your mouth, and the words that come out of your mouth shall stick to them faster if you go over it like a rational adult without arguing or complaining.  So, be brave, be courageous and when you are ready to speak, let your heart do the talking for you.  Believe it or not, I have always gotten farther with a positive attitude.  But this nation is so accustomed to complainers and whiners that they easily quit on what they really want to do.  No wonder we have psychology!  So, you really do know what to say now, don't you?  Remember the last time you got what you wanted without asking for it first?  Who hands out anything on a silver platter here?  I work hard and earn everything just like you.  So, having a physical disability didn't keep me from acheiving my goals or accomplishing my dreams.  But others who wouldn't allow me to do these did, and they got the wake up call when I spoke from my heart's content, that they were so touched they just had to give me what I wanted because God did the talking for me.  I am just a vessel He uses to get what He wants for me, believe this and you will not need to know what to say when He speaks through your mouth and out comes the words, and it makes you happy because you gained more bravery.  Or you can accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior since He died for your sins, man.  That we are brothers no matter what anyone else may say or do, and it is because God answered your question through me.  No one in their right mind can reject Him.  Hence the words: Right mind.  That means: Free from stress and disappointment in yourself, as well as others.  And I am not a preacher, yet I preach the message as it is universal understanding of getting from one point to another.  You have the help you require when you help yourself first.  Help yourself by speaking and verbalizing your concerns to the teacher, to the administration, to even the president of the United States, but who is going to listen unless you do something out of the ordinary.  Remember, you are like a stranger in a country of your own.  You speak the language differently now.  You should love yourself, so you may do what you really like, then you can use this to help others love themselves so the entire world will love one another, even their enemies and strangers they do not know.  This is the message and it has never changed.  Do you believe it?  Do you want it?  You have to want it more than going to L.A. in order to get to L.A. for those who trust in Jesus get what they need, and even what they want.  And those who do not, I tell you, are suffering needlessly.

You can get into plenty of good colleges with 1180 combined math/verbal score.  59% is not Ivy League, but that's ok.  There are plenty of good colleges that would love to have you. Recommendations, high school grades and the types of classes you take in high school are also admission factors. \n\nTake it again?  Sure.  There's no harm and experience is worth something. Some colleges take the best partial scores and add them together to make your composite score.  So, if one time you make 630/550 and the next time you score 550/630, they count it as if you had 630/630.\n\nGet the results from your test and see where you did the best.  Did you run out of time in some sections and need to pace yourself better?

finish school first, get that education and if you are as good as you say, you will get your chance in a few more years. OK.

Enter as undeclared if you're not sure.  Most colleges are designed so that you can take classes for up to one year and still graduate within 4, so you can take classes in a variety of areas to see what you like.  Don't just take something to 'get through', otherwise you'll find your career options are limited to a field you aren't even interested in.  I'm personally a marketing & econometrics double major, so of course I'm biased, but it depends on the person.

Write a letter explaining your situation to whom ever is in charge at the high school, visit that person if you can.  Unfortunately you might have to go to public school for one year and try again for the catholic school.  I know it sucks but I wouldn't look at repeating seventh grade as an option.  good luck.

No, you may even be allowed to skip a grade.

1) You can go to a good college and get into any program except for any honors program.\n2) Colleges look at your 10-12 grade year grades, your SAT score and references. \n3) Yeah, well if your GPA is above a 3.0. If your essay is good enough and you have great references. \n4) You can get scholarships whenever. If the scholarship is from the school then you should try at the begging of each semester.\nTry fastweb.com also apply for FAFSA\n5) I so wished I would have gone to a community college first. Some people think that it's crazy, but it's beneficial if you have problems in high school and want to continue your education. You can transfer to WHATEVER university you want to after you graduate community college, if your grades are good.\nIt's also good if you don't feel as if you're ready for a big university with classes full of students and want to start out small.

Umm...yea you can probably get into a state school or you can start out by going to a community college and make good grade (hs is a drain especially when you are learning things you are not interested in, so make sure you pick something you're interested in); then transfer to a bigger school.  but make sure when you write you essay you use spell check.  Good luck

Since you are only a sophomore in HS, I strongly suggest that you start working hard now and raise that 3.0 GPA. Then you can just go directly to USC out of HS and skip the community college step.\n\nIf you really want to go to USC via transfer from community college, go a good community college. (like the college that is suggested in the other answers)
