<p>After failing three classes in Junior year (Two AP’s, one Honors Math- really bad at math) is it possible to go -anywhere- other than community college in state? (North Carolina) Assuming I retake the classes and get all my requirements done senior year…</p>
<p>It depends. Does your HS replace the old grade or just average them. Honestly, failing that number of classes indicates to me you need CC to get better grounding in the basics.</p>
<p>It honestly depends on the context. If you failed because a parent died, or something like that, most schools will not hold it against you. If you failed because you didn’t try / general laziness, you will most likely end up a community college.</p>
<p>I forgot to add that I got a 31 overall on the ACT if that helps at all. And that’s failing without any special circumstances like a family death…</p>
<p>31? Not bad. I’m sure you can get into various state colleges and some lower-tier privates, but only if you satisfy their curriculum requirements. some require 4 years of math, for example.</p>
<p>A 31 ACT and F’s? Kind of shouts “Slacker!” doesn’t it? I still think you’ll get into at least one state university, based on the ACT score alone.</p>
<p>Do senior grades matter? Do colleges see them? I mean obviously doing well would help, but would it show anything if they were A’s?</p>
<p>It would show that you finally woke up and got to work. Write a compelling essay and you might just have a chance at a lower tier-nonCC. Going to a CC and getting all A’s for a year or two could open up some good transfer opportunities though.</p>
