Hello All,
I am 23 and trying to get back on the college track after dropping out of Emmanuel my sophomore year (hated the school, family issues, hated my major, etc).
I have always wanted to go to BC and was actually pressured into attending Emmanuel by my mother, and am now regretting this decision. I have been in and out of community colleges, working, moving, and finally figured out that I’d like to pursue Psychology over Biology. My SAT scores are outdated, (1700 from 2013) and I graduated with a 3.5+ GPA out of high school. I was also active in Student Government, played multiple sports (Varsity Cheer and Varsity Lacrosse), and received awards in my extra curricular activities. I received high grades in community college when I went part time (3.0+, but that was about a year ago when I last ventured into the CC realm.
I guess my question for the masses is about going BACK to community college, and how silly would I look applying to BC or any school similar going off of simple community college courses, even with a high GPA? Does it even make sense to go to community college first to work towards more “recent” grades? The community college program I am looking at would culminate in my Associates in Behavioral Health Studies, as well as a Mental Health Rehabilitation Technician Community Certification (MHRT/C), at which point I would apply as a transfer to BC and a few other select schools in the Boston area.
I apologize for this post being seemingly willy-nilly, I have been out of the loop for so long I feel so lost! I would appreciate any and all information that you are willing to offer
