My freshman year my family decided to move to the Philippines and I was put into some pretentious private school as a junior, making me skip freshman and sophomore years. I just graduated and now my family is deciding to move back to where we came from, and put me back in high school. I certainly don’t have enough credits to get into college. I feel like moving has ruined my chances of getting into a good school because I have no extracurriculars whatsoever, and I went from a straight A student to a straight B- student. I slacked off because I just didn’t care anymore. It breaks my heart knowing I could’ve gotten into top-tier schools if we hadn’t moved. Do you guys think I can still get accepted to Wash U or NU or SLU or will I seriously have to go to community college after I graduate high school again. I would apreciate any help. Please.
So you just graduated from a private high school and now you are returning to high school?
Something doesn’t sound right and I think the universities would question this weird education chronology.
You admit that you slacked off because you didn’t care. Why would a university want to admit you if you might do the same at their school?
Where is this school? Why are they placing you back in high school? Because you missed freshman and sophomore year?
There were other factors besides for carelessness but it’s too personal. It’s because I reached rock bottom that I really really really wanted to find my way to the top again. I admit I was an overachiever and people would be shocked to know I got B’s. The school I’m about to attend is in Missouri and since I’m only 16 my parents don’t think I’m ready for college. I also think I lack a lot of the necessary requirements and it would be better for me to learn more and get acclimated to high school before I even consider entering college. It breaks my heart knowing I could’ve gotten into the Ivies but I mustn’t let that stop me from chasing after my dreams. I just wish I tried sooner.
