| You cannot get into Cal through test scores alone. I know plenty of people with very good SAT scores (2340, 2320) who were rejected by Cal and UCLA because the rest of their app wasn't that strong (though still much much stronger than yours).
And honestly, if you didn't care enough about school to put any effort into it, why do you suddenly care about college? Does this situation really come as a surprise to you? If you do want to correct your mistakes, my advice would be to go to community college then transfer. Though really, community college isn't any more stimulating than high school. If you didn't succeed there, you probably won't succeed at a CC. |
