College

Post by bullet with butterfly wings »

Alright... I have the most average grades, crappy SAT scores, but awesome extra-curriculars. And my counselor is telling me that I got to start looking into places that I've never heard of, since Boston U. or University of Maryland are even reaches for me. So what do I do!? :( I know I'm not stupid, it's just that my grades and SAT scores don't reflect it.. So what does that mean? I'm just doomed to go some place no one has ever heard of?? I mean we all know where the smart kids go... But how about all those with average grades or bad grades? :'(

Go to a local community college. After 2 years there, they don't even look back to your HS grades and SAT score.... thats what i have to do...

Don't hate me because I'm different. Hate yourself for not accepting me.

You laugh because I'm different. I laugh because your all the same.

If you don't like me thats your problem!
