I need advice...again.

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Yeah...</p>

<p>I'm really sick of my school, my town, my mother, my sister. I'm thinking that maybe I should move to Canada this summer or next, and go to a very, very good public school. Lisgar Collegiate. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisgar_Collegiate_Institute%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisgar_Collegiate_Institute&lt;/a> </p>

<p>I don't really like my dad that much, so I would try to spend as much time at my grandmother's house. </p>

<p>I'm still applying to boarding school next year, and if I get in, that'll be great, but I need a back-up plan. I also need to figure out a way so my family can afford 35k+ on high school. If they can't, that's okay. I can go to a really good private or public school where my dad lives, or drive thirty minutes to Ann Arbor every day.</p>

<p>So...what should I do?</p>

<p>Also, if I go to a Canadian high school, and apply to American universities, would this help me or hinder my admissions decision?</p>

<p>well, if you are in the middle of high school, moving to canada may not be the greatest choice with credit transfers and whatnot...a kid i know moved here from canada and none of his math credits transferred so he had to do them all over again...adn i think it was the same..as for canadian high schoolers applying to american universities, i dont think it will be a big deal, but their system is based on percentages which im sure you already know....so im not sure how your gpa would convert.....but if the situation is so bad here that you dont think you can stick it out and make good grades, you should go for it..</p>

<p>I can make good grades here, it's just that I don't like my school, or the people at my school.</p>

<p>I'm in seventh grade now, by the way.</p>

5

<p>oh, ok, well if you are in 7th grade you've got nothing to worry about...if you arent happy where you are, you should go ahead and transfer...just make sure you do well wherever you do go, because that is what is really going to matter in the end...</p>

6

<p>Ottawa > Ann Arbor</p>

<p>That is all I have to say.</p>

7

<p>Are you sure that the sick of your mother and sister thing isn't temporary?
I mean, maybe it's not, I wouldn't know.</p>

8

<p>I guess it's kinda temporary. It's not like I'm mad at them forever. We just alos get in fights all the time and I'm sick of it.</p>

9

<p>oh please...you're in 7th grade...stop whining and deal with it</p>

I think you'd be classified as an international. If this is the case, then admissions to American universities would be quite competitive for you because international student quotas are really low.</p>

</p>

<p>agreed...you cry about everything. it's called life...deal with it</p>

13

<p>I hate video games.</p>

<p>I'm not really thinking about college admissions right now, I was just asking a question.</p>

<p>Isn't the whole, "GET OUT OF THESE FORUMS!" bit like ...six months ago?</p>

14

<p>not when you bring something stupid like this up, AGAIN</p>

15

<p>God, in 7th grade I was so not concerned with college at all. Do colleges even see middle school grades, lol?</p>

<p>A lot of schools don't consider Canadians to be internationals. Almost no schools treat american citizens as internationals.</p>

<p>On another topic John K's thread is more serious then most of the spam posted by the people flame-baiting him.</p>

18

<p>I think jonathan k. has a situation that needs to be solved. There are so many stupid ass threads on here everday and nobody says stop *****ing "Thats how life goes." to them. Jonathan K. keep making these threads don't stop cause some ass tells you.</p>

19

<p>jonathan k, arent u applying for financial aid?</p>

20

<p>I would say to first wait a few months, then make your decision. Generally the "sick of my family" thing may or may not pass. Sometimes getting a bit older can help a lot with dealing with family problems.</p>
