<p>so depressed... someone help me, i can't find anyone to talk to about this.</p>

<p>when i went into high school, i was a hatefull bitter kid because i thought everyone around me was dumb and untalented. i could be social but i was closed off, and when i had problems, i didn't tell anyone. eventually, this really f'ed me up and my grades dropped very dramatically.</p>

<p>i have good grades again now and have met people i like and respect through ap and honor classes. i'm finally surrounded by people with talent. but, the problem is that they are all going to top universities i can't get into... i have to go to a state or community college because of a lot of bad grades my first two years. i'm just like ****. not again. i'm going to be with a bunch of average people again.</p>

<p>my gpa since junior year has been 3.7-4.0. i do decent on ap tests and i can get a good sat score. i'm just really depressed. can someone advise me? i really don't want to waste some great potential university years at community college working for an associates degree. is there ways to get to a university faster with out taking community college classes? could i transfer after 1 year? could i take less then 3 classes per year so i can go to a college as a sophmore?</p>

<p>i am very good with art and music. i think i could get into an art school because of my portfolio, but i can't afford art school it looks like. please tell me if you know of cheap art colleges that are respected a little. i wish all colleges would weigh talent over gpa...</p>

<p>Go look at the 3.0 to 3.3 (GPA) Parents Thread (2011 HS Graduation) a lot of good info on that thread about where kids with lower gpa’s get accepted. Many of those colleges will look at more recent grades. Unfortunately you may have left it a bit late for applying if you are a senior. But you never know; some may have rolling admissions. Good luck.</p>

<p>It’s possible to transfer after one year. Also, many universities have honors colleges/programs, where you’re with the same (very good) kids. If your grades disqualify you from freshman entry, you could always apply for entry after a year of A grades.</p>

<p>But yes, you can transfer after a year, though you’ll have to do very well.</p>

<p>I think one thing to think about, and even with those top schools… School is what you make it, no matter where you go. I think you would be surprised at who you would meet at a CC since some people probably are in the same boat as you. People with potential are everywhere and the school you go to doesn’t make you or other students who you/they are.
I am not going to a CC, but I live in a city with both a university and a CC so often they blend together a bit.</p>

<p>Lol this can’t be serious. I do agree with the sentiments though. I hate the pretentious vibe on this site.</p>
