<p>I got Cs in AP US History, Chemistry, and Pre-Calculus both semesters. I used to have all As and Bs in all honors classes, but I had a lot of problems and I changed schools. Will I ever get into college with so many Cs? Please don’t say I should go to community college. I’d rather die. I’m not doing a traditional major if I get into college. I’m going into performing arts. Oh my gosh, how did I let this happen? I swear this isn’t who I am. I was in Honors Society before I changed. I’ve just been so unhappy all year long, and I don’t think I can handle the confirmation that I am a failure. I have a 3.4 now.</p>
<p>Is that your weighted or unweighted GPA? Either way, you still have plenty of great options. Have you tried using any of the college search tools?
Your bigger issue is that you have felt unhappy all year…what are you doing to work on that? Have you sought support for what is bothering you?</p>
<p>That’s unweighted. My school does not give weighted GPA. I’ve taken 3 AP classes. (B in AP Euro Sophomore year, C in APUSH, A in AP Lang and Comp). I signed up to take 2 next year, but it might not happen because I had such bad grades, they might not give me the classes I want. </p>
<p>I have a therapist except it hasn’t helped much. My parents don’t want me to see doctors that will put me on medications of any sort, so we’ve tried to work around that, but it doesn’t really help. </p>
<p>I’ve done some college searches. Does the one on this website help you search based on average GPA and scores?</p>
<p>A 3.4 is not bad at all. That’s like a B+. Check out: [A+</a> Options for B Students | Top National Universities | US News Best Colleges](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/a-plus]A+”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/a-plus). There are plenty of great schools out there for GPAs in that range. The bigger issue is what happened that caused the change?</p>
<p>You’d rather die than go to community college? Whether that’s hyperbolic or not, it’s still incredibly pretentious and mildly ignorant.</p>
<p>As everyone else is saying, you have so many options. Very few colleges are hyper selective and expect perfect or near perfect transcripts.</p>
<p>It’s a matter of pride, I guess. I know I have potential to get good grades. My parents can afford to send me to a 4 year school. I have always been expected to go to a four year school. Also, I don’t see death as a bad thing. I don’t know why everyone thinks it’s bad to say I’d rather die. I honestly would. I spent a lot of the year planning my suicide, but then I found out that my plans would not ensure my death, and that I’d most likely fail. But I can’t handle failure well, hence why I feel like such a failure and I see community college as a failure for me because it’s never been in my plan. I also cannot study what I want at my local college. I also don’t want to be close to home. I cannot disclose a lot of my problems to many people because that might involve child protective services, which is really bad. They’ve come to my house before, looking for me, but my parents told me to lie to them so we could all stay a family. </p>
<p>I’ve just felt so emotionally unstable lately, but I can’t bring myself to talk about it with people because I’m afraid of what might happen. I also don’t like telling people bad things about myself. I can’t bring myself to look at someone and tell them things that make me sound really bad. Also, I’m afraid if I say too much, I’ll have to go talk to a whole bunch of people or have to go to the hospital or something, and I don’t have time for that.</p>
<p>A 3.4 isn’t bad, even if I had almost all Cs in core classes my junior year? That’s the most worrisome part. All of my Cs were junior year. When I was taking honors classes at a far more prestigious school, I was doing so much better. If I had a 3.4 and I did poorly freshman year, but improved, I’d feel better, but my grades have been getting worse and worse since the end of sophomore year.</p>
