<p>My info:</p>

<p>International high school graduate
Latino
From Brazil but currently living in New Jersey
I'll be a first-generation college student.</p>

<p>2.3 GPA</p>

<p>SAT:
M - 400
CR - 510
W - 570</p>

<p>I finished high school almost 2 years ago. I recently tried taking the SATs and my scores are terrible as I expected. I got accepted into a top 10 university in Latin America last year and didn't attend so I could come here.</p>

<p>I know I'm probably community college material but I thought I should at least give it a try and send in some applications? Shpuld I just give up and go to community college?</p>

<p>These are the colleges I'm interested in:</p>

<p>University of Alabama at Birmingham
San Francisco State University
University of Massachusetts-Boston
Rutgers University-Newark
The University of Texas at Arlington
The University of North Carolina at Greensboro</p>

<p>You should go to community college, and in two years you will be prepared to transfer to a college. Colleges want to be sure that you will be successful and graduate and if you can find success in community college, you will probably be able to get into a college you would want to go to. It’s probably not worth the effort to apply to those colleges right now.</p>
