College Acceptance Help

[Question]

I'd focus on bringing the C to a A, and ready for high SAT scores, be sure to take them more than once, the college will take the highest scores.

I am currently attending community college. This is not due to financial issues or academic unacceptability, and someone attending community college does not mean you do not "make the cut" as the saying goes. Yeah, state colleges and private colleges are generally more revered for academic excellence as well as have degrees that are more respected by potential employers. That being said, community college is often a good thing to start out in, then later attend a four-year school. For example, I am currently pursuing a two-year degree at my local community college which I will later build upon at a four-year school, most likely a state school.

That being said, you need to find out what your official GPA is (from what I can tell, yours is probably high enough that you will have no trouble being accepted into a good college). You will also need to take the SAT or ACT (yes, this will be a wallet-extractor) because colleges want to know those scores. Make sure you know the college(s) you have in mind, because as I understand it some only accept one or the other. If you spend money taking the SAT but your college of choice wants ACT scores, you'll have wasted a bucketload of money as well as time and effort preparing for and taking the test.

You should deffo talk to your parents about this as you probably will not be able to go through college purely on scholarships and financial aid, although you will probably be eligible for some grants and loans. Not to mention they probably have a lot of good information that you should know about and take into account.

While film doesn't really require any math classes (or at least only requires minimal amounts of it), there is really no way to get through college for any degree without having to take such courses. They are called general education requirements and as I understand it, you cannot graduate college without them, regardless of your degree goal. They typically include some English, math (yes, math), science and other general (hence the term general education) subjects. In some cases they have specific classes intended to teach the subject to people who do not intend to go into it (non-major's Biology, for example). So you definitely shouldn't give up on math and other undesirable classes. Sorry to burst your bubble on that one. As far as getting out of math, it's no dice, homeslice.

Statistics show that those who go to community college first have a lower overall dropout rate. It really isn't a bad idea.
