<p>Sorry for not replying right away, I just now logged on. ^_^</p>
<p>Yeah, it is/was quite upsetting. My school didn't really do anything and by the time they put a stop to the majority of it, I was already depressed. Even today, I still struggle with the problems they caused me.</p>
<p>Anyways, I've already graduated (high school) and those are the grades I finished with. Would how many credits each are worth effect my GPA because not all of them were worth one credit? At the bottom of my report card, that's what it says either way-- 73.250%.</p>
<p>I live in PA so schools in PA are ideal but I'm a country kid and am rather sick of it. I wouldn't mind trying a school closer to New York, not necessarily IN New York city but close enough to get in by bus or something. I'm not really sure if I'd become depressed or not but the idea of being away from home both scares and excites me. The only thing I have a nagging problem with is having to live with someone else as I've, obviously, had some serious problems with kids my age in the past. I'm introverted so I'm not the type who loves being surrounded by people all the time. I'd much rather stay home and read/study.</p>
<p>As for careers/majors, Web Design is on my list, or something dealing with computers in general...hm, librarian (not sure what you'd take to become one though) but only three colleges near here offer what's needed for that. To be honest with you, I'm not entirely sure of what I want to do yet. Someone suggested opening a book store of my own somewhere but I think going to college for Business would help if I ever decided to do so.</p>
<p>As for financial aid, my parents are going to help and, if nothing has changed since my Dad said this, the first year shouldn't be a problem if, for some reason, I can't get any scholarships. The other three, however, are a different story. How much does waiting to go to college hurt your chances of finding scholarships? I'm not saying I'm going to wait a decade or anything but there's still a lot I need to get straightened out before I leap.</p>
