Hello folks,

I need some advice. My parents do not have a car, and so it is extremely tough for my family to go anywhere. I live in a suburban area, and so there’s no real public transportation (busses, etc.) around my house. I have a friend who takes me to and from school, but he’s an acquaintance rather than a close friend, and so I can only ask him so much. Now here’s where I need help… It’s extremely tough for me to be in ECs since I have no way to get to them after school. I should be able to get a car my junior year, but is it enough to start ECs then? Would colleges rule me out based on this lack of ECs for two year? Or is there a way that I can let college know of the issue I had?

Thanks.

If the colleges you apply to have an interview, you can tell them then. If you have any friends that play sports, maybe you could ask them for rides home because they’d be there late anyway.

@awesomepolyglot , thank you for your suggestion.

Bike? Depending on how far away you live?
