wow…here I am…chronic underachiever…</p>
<p>Maybe if you get off the ‘chances’ or elite colleges forums. Go on unknowns schools that are pretty easy to get into. I have seen quit a few people like you are describing. I have a 3.5, by the way. =)</p>
<p>I had to laugh at this thread. Because here I am.</p>
<p>Personally, I think it’s a shame that school has to be such a big determining factor for everything in life. </p>
<p>I mean, here we go… five years old and all excited for school. But little do we know we’re making a twelve year commitment. I think school (and I mean traditional, public school) kills my motivation, desensitizes the importance of living. Be here, do this, and get by. </p>
<p>I’m surprised I never dropped out. I can’t now. It’s my senior year, and I figure I might as well finish it. But holy crap, it has been a long, hard road for me. I hate everything about school: the shallow social interaction, the vastness, the freaking bells, grade division, everything!</p>
<p>I’m looking to go to a college with a good art department. Even if it means a cheapish, high admittance rate community or state college. But I’m shooting for a small, liberal arts college town type setting.</p>
<p>Hey now, I have a 3.3 GPA and no AP classes…</p>
<p>hey I like this thread!! lol but yea my gpa is a 3.58 and I haven’t taken the SAT yet but I got a 690 on the SAT II in world history sophomore year and a 175 PSAT which is average in my school sad lol but I do take the most APs per year and I have no life b/c I am in clubs but no awards for me except like honor roll. so you won’t catch me doing a chance me thread lol</p>
<p>Oh yea the top schools I am looking for next year are like UPenn (the only ivy) and UVa.</p>

<p>You can’t find anybody like that on this site because their are mainly three types of people on this site. The furst type is your wannabe high school / college student. By a wannabe I am implying somebody that isn’t very good at at academics or/sports or they are socially challenged. </p>
<p>The second type of people is your high school / college student that is concerned about their future. This type of person is the guy/girl that is thinking ahead and is a leader, not a follower. </p>
<p>The third type of person is the over-worried parent. They are concerned about their child at high school and/or college.</p>
