umm, hi. I am not quite sure if this is the right category to write this, but I’ve got some problems with my school.
First of all, my school isn’t that high or famous for good educations and many college acceptances.
Most of the students attend university in this country (Can’t say it exactly where it is but in the Middle East), i am not saying the colleges here are not good enough but to be honest, it isn’t that good compare to other countries’ colleges.
Rarely one or two people get accepted by colleges located in US or Canada or Europe. REALLY RARELY. MAXIMUM 2 PEOPLE IN A YEAR.
Second, the school has no school profile and other basic things required for college applications, because since most of students attend local schools here, the local schools don’t require any school profile since they already have information about all the schools here.
But, I am thinking about attending schools in my country and all the colleges require school profile, unless they won’t even look at my portfolio, report card or just anything I submit.
Third, my school has no ECA, extra curriculum activities. The only thing I do at school is learning during the class and nothing else is provided by school. They don’t require any volunteer work hours or anything. They just don’t care. I am doing volunteer work even though school hasn’t told me to do, so it is a bit fine but it has no ECA and I think ECA is one of the important things for college applications.
I would love to transfer to better school but I can’t afford expensive schools, so the only thing I can do is just staying at this school and trying my best.
I want to ask you if there is possibility that I will be able to attend nice unis even though the school suck.
You may say it will be possible if i try my best even though the school doesn’t care, but you all know that the reputation of high school affects the college application a bit and also school activities.
Should I do something more to have possibility to attend nice uni? Because I don’t think what school provides me isn’t enough. If so, what should I do more? I am doing volunteer work at library once in a week and trying SAT by myself. Is there anything I should do more? Please let me know… I am dying from insecurity…
