Colleges?

<p>I live in Tennessee, African American, 3.4 GPA. HOPING and going to try to for a 30 on the ACT. Also plan on doing football next year and doing volunteer work over the summer. Any good colleges open to me?</p>

<p>Lots but you have to do some work here to figure out what kind of school you want to attend and have the money talk with your parents about what you can afford. Start by sitting down with the folks - and talk about what their expectations are too. They may have a number of ideas about this. Use the college search feature on CC to generate some ideas. Read some of the college guides to learn more about the schools that come up and plan to visit a few. Once you have some clearer ideas of what you want as part of your college experience, we can give you suggestions. A good starting point is almost always your local state U, if only as a point of comparison for everything else.</p>
