<p>Desi. Thanks! My sentiments exactly. My father-in-law passed away last week. He was a very well-respected judge for many, many years. We heard more stories than I can count how this wise, wonderful man helped and guided people throughout his lifetime. Grown men were weeping at the church. Not once, did anyone ask what his SAT scores were.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>lol, CC’s don’t have SAT requirements.</p>
<p>She should definitely go to a community college for the first year and transfer into a 4 year college. While she won’t get into an elite school, she can definitely still get a very good education.</p>
<p>UPDATE : My friend is going to a CC for the first one or two years then hopefully transfering to a SUNY. </p>
<p>Just to keep you guys posted :)</p>
<p>Thanks for the update about your friend. I wish her and you the best.</p>
<p>Your friend can go to CC for a year (or two) and then transfer to a decent university if she keeps her gpa at at least a 3.0. If it shows that she really tried and that she regrets plagiarizing in the transfer essay, the school should have no problem overlooking one mistake in her high school career. </p>
<p>I have some (bad) friends who have gotten into trouble with the law (hard drugs, breaking/entering, theft, etc.) and still managed to go to CC after dropping out of HS, getting their GEDs, and then transferring to an okay liberal arts school to pursue a degree.</p>
<p>Best of luck to her! :)</p>
<p>She was planning on attending NYiT(she got into that school) but the finacially aid wasn’t adequate enough. She was close to not going to college at all but she went to the CC and explained her situation and she was able to apply and be accepted. I also mentioned that if she decides to stay in CC for those two years then transfer, she should work hard to be able to participate in it’s Honors College and take advantage of it’s opportunities.</p>
<p>I want to thank all of you for your suggestions and I’ll keep you posted on where she goes after CC. :)</p>

<p>that about translates to a 1620. Not a 1200</p>
<p>im not sure what your argument was about</p>
