why is it so hard to get into college in america?
Favorite Answer
PS: I just thought of this but if your illegal or from a country on the watch list this WOULD possibly be a problem.
What college are you trying to go to? What is your chosen specialty?
Community College is your first option. This should be no problem for most high school grads. It’s cheap and you only have to maintain a decent GPA.
If you are trying to get into state college, the bar is a bit higher. You’ll have to have a good high scholl GPA and good SAT scores and you’ll be competing for a fewer seats, but if you qualify, you’ll probably get in. The price is still very reasonable.
Then there’s private college and that’s the toughest. You’ll have to have high SAT and GPA and money and influence in some cases.
Instead of waiting, try the community college and state colleges near you. You do not want to delay college. If you get a 4.0 GPA at a smaller school, it will still help you transfer into a better school.
Good luck.
honestly I have a brother that went to college until he was 28 ,10 years, to study forestry. he kept flunking on purpose, or was changing his major, because he loved to party and meet girls on campus. he was smart.
