Yes, not all hope is lost. You can still make it, but it won’t happen without you making major changes. If you want to get into a decent institution, you must improve your grades. I don’t know what all the papers, and U, E, D things mean (I did +2) but what matters in the end is your GPA. The teachers do play a major role, but it’s also your responsibility to get your academics in order. People from pretty much all A-level colleges of Nepal have gone to top schools in the US. That shows motivation on student’s part. As for not blaming the institution, please re-read your own post, where it’s obvious who’s blaming whom. Your way into a good school at this point is, to work as hard as you can and get stellar scores on SATs, and re-take any papers you can take, and may be study and even take AP tests (at Lincoln School). That, coupled with a great essay, will take you to good places, specially since you can afford to pay a lot more than most people from Nepal.</p>

the forums. It’s against the rules to use any language other than English in CC.</p>
