<p>I'm a new user here. And while I have asked this question on other forums about this, even to long since graduated friends. I guess I have to have a differing opinion.</p>
<p>But, I am an Arizona State University student, a Senior. My wish is to go to Grad School out-of-state. Hopefully to somewhere like Ole Miss or Texas. But there are several problems confounding this.</p>
<p>For starters, my current GPA at ASU sits at 2.64. If I got all A's this semester I think it'll push me close enough to a 3.0 or over, but I'm not totally sure. Yes, it's my fault. I have no idea what my SAT's are. Or even what exactly to do for me GRE.</p>
<p>Secondly, my CC years were...troublesome to say the least. My parents tried actively controlling my major through force for a couple years, we'd scream and fight. And it got to a point where I moved out to live with my Alzheimer's stricken grandmother and made the grades situation even worse, worse yet after I moved back home one of my friends died and then my grandma died. So the year 2011 is a black stain on my record.</p>
<p>My parents, and I'm sure they mean well in a lot of respects. But they REALLY don't want me to go to Ole Miss. I'm 22 years old and think I can make these sort of decisions for myself. But my dad doesn't support anything about it, and uses racial terms towards the college because of all the blacks there in Mississippi. Whenever it comes up, we just scream at each other and he says I'll ruin my life. What I want to major in is History, and that causes enough trouble as it is.</p>
<p>So, is Grad School an option, or should I just quit at the Bachelors before I make a seriously bad decision? I'm taking classes through ASU at a satellite campus. So college has been rather lackluster in this town.</p>
