Colleges are reducing their emphasis on your grade report and increasing an emphasis on your being a well rounded person who is capable of dedicated study. You sound like that type of person. Play up the fact that you desired to design your path of studies and that you desired to round out your experiences. Just because your plan did not go off perfectly will not count against you as much as you think...since many plans in life do not go smoothly. Go to a college fair and talk to some recruiters. I think you will be greatly reassured. Many students your age hit a bump in the road. You will sail past this and onto your goals. Good luck to you.

A First, WHY didn't you register for the classes you needed? I suspect it boils down to time management. If I had to pick the one single thing my students do poorly -- top students, poor students, whatever -- it'd be time management.

Reading between the lines, I'm hearing that you don't have strong family support for homeschooling. One of ...See More

K-W-L in its own right is one of those nifty practical ideas that teachers can pick up quickly and start using the following morning, probably explaining why it became so popular. But, like other teaching strategies that are deceptively radical in...See More
