Hi, sorry I was pretty freaked out the day I wrote this.
“I’m a little confused because you say you think you failed out of college but everything you mentioned has to do with high school. By failure you must mean that you failed getting into college maybe? If your story mentions what happened senior year then I assume you may have graduated from HS already.”
Yes I am, the college part was part 2 but it didn’t make it, so apparently the moderator somehow thought it violated the
policy of the forum. Not sure why, however I will post a revised/edited version here as a reply that hopefully does not violate the policies of the forum to make it less confusing.
“Paragraph breaks are super helpful for people trying to follow your narrative.”
Will edit.
would like to try to help, but I have a few issues:
- You NEED paragraph breaks. It's so hard to read a wall of text.
- Please edit. I got through your first half but just don't want to attempt part B.
- If you need two posts to ask your question, you're not going to get lots of good answers. Could you please narrow down your question to a few sentences? We don't need all the gory details. From your first half, I get it: you're smart. So now what?
I will work on it. I wasent trying to brag or anything, part 2 is pretty much a failure story, but I will narrow it down.
It sounds like your GPA and test scores are too low for the colleges you hoped to attend. There are thousands of schools in the US so you can find one that’s right for you, but you need to work with the situation you have.
If I understand your post correctly you have:
- a 3.3 GPA
- one AP class (with a 5 on the exam)
- a lopsided SAT score (“low” writing but okay reading and math)
- Asperger’s and ADHD
- a mother who doesn’t seem to want you too far away
- a dad who lives several hours away
If you want help finding a school we need more information. Where you can go to school depends on your parents as much as your academic record. Will they let you dorm or do they want you to commute to a local college? How much can they afford to pay? What’s your SAT score? Is the 3.3 GPA weighted or unweighted? What state are you in?
If you can answer some of these questions we may be able to help you.
I have hoped the activities I did outside of school may help. I dont care which school I go to as long as it gets me where I want to go and maybe gets me a degree in specifically astronautical engineering at some point. What I will put here might help with your next couple questions.
