<p>Then heed the advice here. You really need to show some four year college that you CAN show up and make the grade. The GPA you have posted here would get you dismissed from most colleges after two terms. If you keep that in mind, you will understand why folks are telling you that you need to show you can DO academic work. Personally I think the post grad year is a good idea for you…at a residential boarding school. If you can do well at residential prep school as a boarder, a residential college might take note. If you really want to continue to live at home, then go the community college route but make sure you GET to the classes. Unlike high school, if you don’t do this yourself, no one will chase you down, or give you the benefit of the doubt. If
Your GPA falls below a 2.0, you will be put on academic probation…and after another term, if your grades are not higher, you will be asked to leave.</p>
<p>I think you must KNOW that getting an undergrad degree from HYPSM is not attainable. But maybe, just maybe, you will be able to prove yourself as a student someplace, get a degree, work…and maybe get a grad degree at a more competitive school.</p>
