<p>I've never had big dreams of going to an Ivy League college, though I have the mental capacity and ability to go to one. And I've never had outstanding grades, honestly due to slacking off all throughout high school.</p>
<p>The end of senior year has come and guess what? I've just taken my SAT's (1760 out of 2400) and ACT's (28) in the spring, which means I haven't applied to college yet. I know it's really pathetic, and I feel like such a loser for putting everything off and procrastinating as long as I did, but I can't change what I did.</p>
<p>So, now I'm planning on applying to colleges for their Spring 2011 semesters, but there's just one thing. I have not a clue on how to go about this.
Any advice, anyone? Anything at all would be greatly appreciated and very helpful to me.</p>
<p>To get a general idea of what I'm trying to work with, I was thinking of definitely applying for Temple University (my number one choice school, I'm completely in love with it) and probably some other art schools in the general north-east area. I'm planning on majoring in fine arts and, if possible, minoring in art history. If I go to Temple, I'd go for a teaching certification along with my major. And also, my GPA as of now is kind of low, it's a 2.8 or so. I'm hoping it'll go up to a 3.(something). As far as I'm concerned, anything above a 2.9 sounds a lot better to me.</p>
