Will I get into a good college?

<p>To be honest, I'm nervous about applying for college because I'm not sure I'd get into a good one. I'm currently in junior year and I don't think I'm doing that well right now. I'm pretty sure my GPA has dropped below a 3.5 but above a 3.0, which is not super good. I don't know why, but I'm slacking off. My grades aren't so good and the fact that they aren't good makes me want to not do any work anymore. Maybe because I feel sort of depressed with things. Recently I just switched schools and I did not know anyone, and to top it off I'm doing PSEO which is taking college classes at an actual college while still in high school. So, it was a whole new environment for me. I guess for now, I feel stuck. Stuck and I can't get out of it. I'm not heavily involved with school. The only thing I do is volunteer at a hospital once a week and intern at my church youth group. I don't do sports and I'm not in any clubs at school and I feel like it's too late.And I feel like everyone else is moving up and know what they're doing. I don't. I haven't done college visits or anything like that. I don't think I can do community college because I'm already taking my generals as a PSEO high school student. Also I feel like I won't get good scholarships or financial aid because I don't do "much" in school. And I truly do not know what to pursue in a career. So to sum it up, I feel stuck and I feel like I'm holding my breath. Any advice? I really want to get into a good college but what are my chances?</p>

<p>EDIT: "Good college" as in a state university like University of Minnesota.</p>

<p>Thanks for taking the time :) </p>

<p>University of Minnesota has a 50% acceptance rate, so you do not need an unweighed GPA of more than 3.5 - 3.6, an SAT composite score of 2000 and only decent extracurricular activities to have a good chance of being accepted.</p>

<p>Univ of Washington will accept anyone. You just need to then work hard in first few quarters and get good college gpa and then get into your choice of major.</p>

With an acceptance rate of 59%, I certainly do not think that they accept everyone. </p>

<p>What are your ACT/ SAT scores? Does your family make enough for you to go out of state? If so, look down south! There are some good schools that require a minimum of 3.0. UF would most likely take you because your weighted GPA is probably through the roof due to those college classes. As for your social life, it is never too late to join a club, and that’s how you could meet new people! You could also do a sport like track and field-- you do not have to be the best athlete and you sill meet so many new people from your area!</p>
