Im a freshman at a community college now. I'm doing well and please do understand that I don't know how to study yet but I'm getting my methods straight so the grades aren't fantastic.
I will probably be getting a 82.5 in Calc, 85 in Physics, 90 in English and 94 in History.
In high school, I didn't do any work because I didn't care. Im not a party person at all and don't have many friends so its not like I wasn't studying because I was partying, I just simply did not care. However, this semester, I'm really liking school. I like studying. I love it rather. I know I could be doing better in my studies from my Math and Physics classes in High School but I wasn't paying attention.....but the grades are pretty good for a person who did bad in high school. Next semester will be better, I know it. My professors are all impressed through my efforts. Its great.
But my question to you is what universities will accept me through my HORRIBLE high school grades (60s-70s)?
I know I changed and I see the world in a different light. I know 4 languages, Arabic, Farsi (From Iran), French and English from a young age.
I worked at the US Embassy in Cairo, Egypt for 2 months and taught Arabic for a year to elementary students.
What colleges can I get into? My gpa at the end of those two years in the community college will most probably be a 3.5. I really.....REALLY want to get into a good school like Carnegie Mellon, Johns Hopkins, Cornell. I really don't want to be a failure in life and to ad to it, I always look down at myself. Do you think I could get into those schools or should I stay to those state schools.
Ugh, its pissing me off. Please answer me offering advice and guidance.
Thanks
