<p>Understand this is my first post, well second.</p>

<p>Hi I'm 17 years old, and I need advice.</p>

<p>I plan on send admissions next year and need advice for ec's, and transcripts. </p>

<p>but I have no record of school past 12 years old, ya I know it's crazy. </p>

<p>Your probably wondering why and it's because my mother was laid off so I had to stop going to school. </p>

<p>Recently I got some money, so I taught myself everything from 7th grade to calc.
I plan on taking ap calc, ap physics, and music theory and others.</p>

<p>As for ec,s I just have music, and I plan on trying to get into the (international sience and engineering fair) . </p>

<p>but I have know highschool transcript, I guess you would say I'm homeschooled.</p>

<p>I just don't know how to go about geting a transcript or how to improve it to get into a good college.</p>

<p>So if you have any advice, if it's from experience, or just knowledge I would be very thankfull.</p>

<p>Note: if you got into a good college let me know how, and what was your profile.</p>

<p>You can go to a community college. In my state you don’t need high school records once you’re 18. Or even under 18 if you can pass GED. They can give you placement tests to see what level you are at, and put you in the right classes. Once you take some classes there, you’ll be able to transfer to a 4-year university. You don’t have to be a full-time student either. You can take 1-2 classes each semester, even at night, if you have to work to support yourself. Find a community college near you and give them a call or stop by admissions office.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice. ps: When you say university which wones are talking about.</p>

<p>Usually your state universities have programs to transfer students from comm colleges. Could be others as well. </p>

<p>What state are you in?</p>

5

<p>Wichita ks so that would be Kansas university. Also if I can do that does that mean that I can move to massachutsetts, and go to a comm college, and transfer to MIT.</p>

<p>When you say “transfer to MIT” do you really really mean MIT? Nice to dream but their transfer accept rate is ~3% – and that’s for tippy top applicants.</p>

<p>Trust me I’m a do are die, all are none kind of person.
if Theres a way I’ll find.
But I was only using that as an example cuz I also like Stanford, Cornell, and uc Berkeley</p>

<p>But it’s not where you go that defines hue you are, it’s what you came from and hue you are that defines where you go.</p>

<p>Every body has a chance at greatness.</p>

<p>Ya I think u should take ConcernedDad’s advice and go to a comm college. Then u can prolly transfer to like MIT or any of those schools if u move to the states there in</p>

9

<p>That’s what I plan on doing
but I’m stell gonna try to get accepted if not then I’ll do what concernedad said.</p>

10

<p>I think u’ll get in and that Will b good cos then u won’t have to go to comm college</p>

<p>you can still try for top colleges… no harm…</p>

<p>get great SAT scores… and other things that help your application… </p>

<p>Yes,I think you could say home schooled.</p>

<p>What about emailing a top college (preferably one you might not apply to) … and asking them as to how they would evaluate you.</p>

<p>Sorry if I sound mean or anything…but do you normally talk/spell like that or is it just because this is an online forum?</p>
