Kids in my town are so stupid.  They think that they are goign to get into to college with like D's and C's.  I am not that smartest kid in school but i get B's and A's and next year im stepping it up and taking a few honors classes.  Also where would be a good college that there is a mountain somewhat close by that is ok?

What level classes are you currently taking?  If you're up to it, try and take a few AP classes so you can get credits before going to school.  It leads to a cheaper diploma in the end! :)

Im only a frehsmen right now but im taking all academic classes atm.  But we are signing up for classes this week.  For next year I am going to take latin 2 honors and politics honors.  For all my 4 years of highschool I am going to take lattin because there is really not many kids that take that for so long and would make me stand out more.  Also i wished when I was in middle that i tried more and would of gotten into Ap classes so i could get into a better college.  But Im most likely just gunna go to a university for commuications.  Ik i probably spelt that worng hhaha

If you go to a community college in my town and have a 3.5 or better, after 2 years you are guaranteed acceptance into Cornell for environmental science. All you need to get into the CC is a GED. So, get a GED at age 16. Go to CC for 1.5 years (take summer classes) transfer to Cornell stay there for 2 years, and have a degree from Cornell before age 20.

But yeah, no one good ever goes to CC.......

Haha so true, I have no idea how some people got into college......33% of a class grade was attendance (met only twice a week) yet, on any given day half the class wouldn't be there......really......

Dude college algebra is tough. I tested out of it, so I just started with calc, but I looked at my roommates algebra textbook, it is such a piece of shit. The sample problems they have only cover 1/4 of the actually types of hw problems, just horrible design. Then again my calc textbook blew dick as well.

95% of people test out of it to begin with. so you are stuck with the athletes and the "just barely squeaked ins".

Also known as: the student most likely to get shitty grades
