Applying to College
1

<p>I'm so afraid that the colleges I have fallen in love with and have been working towards may reject me. I know it's not the end of the world, and yet...it would still be rather disappointing.</p>

<p>Anyways, I have been taking college classes, and I was wondering if there was any way to explain to the colleges I will be applying to in the fall my problem. What is my problem, you ask? Well, I love biology and psychology. The community college near my home offers a few higher courses in both these areas, but these courses are always in the morning or afternoon.</p>

<p>My high school requires certain classes for the 4 years we attend - all of which take place in the morning.</p>

<p>I have been unable to take any biology courses at the college and only 2 or 3 psychology courses.</p>

<p>I feel rather sad when I see a friend of mine taking upper division math courses at the same college. The college has weeknight courses for math, but not in biology or psychology. I can't attend any other community college for transportation issues.</p>

<p>So, I have taken 7 classes. 1 math. (alg 2) 1 fitness. 3 psych. (general, stats, abnormal) 1 socio. 1 (descriptive intro to) physics. 1 voice.</p>

<p>There's no real pattern there. The "ADD" date has passed, also.</p>

<p>put it in the additional comments of your app -- explain to them that you wanted to take college courses, but couldn't due to scheduling conflicts</p>

<p>Oh, okay. </p>

<p>That doesn't seem...like I'm making excuses or anything? Can I write that I independently studied several upper level courses because I couldn't take the classes in them? (which is true...but I don't know how to prove it. unless I sit with them and they ask me questions, I guess) Will they think I'm lying?</p>

<p>(I'm taking the AP test for one of them, but the rest don't have AP or SAT tests associated with them. I.E. I've been studying philosophy, microbiology, and certain branches of psychology for quite a few years now.</p>
