Need help with this college application process :(

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>So I really want to know what it is that I can do to make my college application "look good".</p>

<p>At first my school never offered AP classes until today. They were able to get some students to take some AP classes in other schools in the building, BUT I can't take any because they could only accept 3 students from my school for AP English and the other class I wanted to take is only 5th period but I can't take it because I have a math class 5th period.</p>

<p>I found an alternative which is College courses but even that I can't take because the classes are full this fall and I can't take any until January.</p>

<p>Being that I'm a senior, what other things can I do this fall to make a college application look good?</p>

<p>Things I've done:
-Yearbook Committee (currently)
-High School Math and English Tutor
-Elementary 1st grade tutor (7 months)
-Summer Camp counselor (job)
-Summer Youth Employment Program (10th grade summer job)
-School Library volunteer</p>

<p>Anything other than ECs? <em>stressed</em> :'(</p>

<p>My grades are okay I guess I have a 3.2 gpa and a 1750 on my SATs in May but I'm retaking it next week.</p>

<p>Take the act and study your butt off and take the sat again and study your butt off again. Do the best you can do on your senior year grades. good luck,it will be fine.</p>

<p>But I haven’t taken any challenging courses because my school barely offers anything. Will Colleges think its ME that chooses not to take any challenging classes? It isn’t my fault :frowning:
My school is screwing me over</p>

<p>Someone? Anyone?
BUMP!</p>

5

<p>Can you take any online college courses? Are those full too? How about self studying AP course?</p>

6

<p>But AP Exams are only held once a year (May) I’m not sure if it would make any sense to self study being that scores are given in July, and I’m a senior.</p>

<p>Universities will understand. When you submit your application, you school should include a “profile”. On that document, the school should have what AP classes are available, if any.</p>

8

<p>I’m honestly not trying to mock you, but if you only have a 3.2 GPA while taking regular courses, how in the world would you be able to handle a bunch of AP level classes?</p>
