<p>History:
I did a lot of prep for my SAT in hs but did poorly on the actual test. I was so upset and I got really depressed. However, I did get 800s on my Math IIC and Physics and Chem. I didn't get into a good college and my parents are disgusted with me. I wasn't fairing well in college and ended up with a 2.66 GPA the first semester. Additionally, I didn't get any grants and had to decide whether to attend next semester or to just quit college. I chose the latter. During that time I studied for the SAT I again and ended up with a 1600. At first I thought that it was impossible to get a perfect score, turns out that after ordering the score sheet from my former SAT, I put the answers in the wrong places. I feel really horrible and depressed and I'm extremley confused and angry. </p>
<p>Currently:
I would like to know if I have any chance of getting into a good college. Since I faired poorly during my first semester in a rotten college, I'm doubtful that I'll get accepted into any good institution now unless if I enter as a freshman and completely disregard my college account. Rotten College wasn't very challenging. I found it boring and felt depressed everyday. I just felt that I didn't belong there and hardly ever attended class. Should I stay there for another semester and boost my average? or ??? </p>
<p>Thankyou for reading and I'd love and appreciate any advice.</p>
<p>Please anything.....insults, curses,...advice...just please type!!!</p>
<p>omg help me please I'm begging you people why don't you help me??? WHY?? WHY WHY WHY WHY?!!!?! WHAT AM I A LEPOR? Am I the only one with this problem? What ever happened to " No man is an island" ?????? and I thought this College Confidential Discussion could help but its just rotten and so are all you people !!! >.<</p>
<p>Crescens - You are not a leper, it's just a slow day/night. I am not clear on what you are saying. It looks like you said you stopped going to college but then you say should I stay for another semester and get my grades up. If you are still there get to class, join a club, and try to get your grades up. If you didn't go this semester I think you really need to step back and think about what you want. </p>
<p>You are not the only one that has felf this way after the first semester of college. Many, many people go through this. Getting up, and getting to class is half the battle. Not going makes you feel worse in the long run.</p>
<p>If you decide to go back this fall join a club so that you can get to know other people. If you still feel uncomfortable concentrate on getting your GPA up and look into transferring to another college. After this experience you will know better what to look for in another college. Don't give up yet.</p>
<p>If you continue to feel depressed you might want to make a visit to your doctor. It is certainly not anything to be ashamed about. It could be just a simple chemical imbalance or even just the lack of sleep, change in environment, etc. </p>
<p>Anyways, I wish you luck in your decision. Remember that you are not alone:)</p>
<p>i don't quite understand your situation right now. Could you clarify and provide more details?</p>
<p>i don't quite understand your situation right now. Could you clarify and provide more details?</p>
<p>I'm not sure I understand either--did you already quit or are you still in the college? First you said you quit and then you asked if you should stay for another semester.</p>
<p>I do not think that you can disregard your previous semester either. Other posters--don't applications ask whether or not the applicant has previously enrolled in a college?</p>
<p>Crescens - I suggest that you post this question (clarify it for us though) on the parents forum. I'm sure that parents or their children have been through this situation and that would be a better place to post this message. I think that most of the people on What Are My Chances are students who haven't even been in college yet.</p>
<p>Crescens, with those SAT scores you obviously have the smarts. A 2.66 can easily be lifted to a reasonable GPA. Get your act together and get a 3.8-3.9ish the next two semesters. That will get your GPA up to close to a 3.5. Then write an essay on how you were depressed, and have made mistakes, but that you have gotten your act together. You are going to have to prove it and transfer in as a Junior.</p>
<p>Do this and you are in a top ten school, Cornell, Northwestern, and UNC-CH are easy transfers relatively. Brown, Penn, Duke, and Dartmouth should also be on your list as reaches. You are going to have to really boost the GPA up, but all is most definitely not lost.</p>
<p>In fact, if you are willing to go back one more semester and get close to a 4.0, you will raise the GPA to a 3.3. With those SATs, UNC and UVA are in the bag. Cornell is close.</p>
