Paul’s Answer

I think that a community or junior college would be a great option.

These colleges enable students to work on an associates degree, complete the first two years of college, and raise grades and GPA.

It is very common for students to graduate from high school with low GPA's and academic scores that are not college level.

The community and junior college allows for two more years of maturity, and an opportunity to increase their academic preparation and be ready for their upcoming major at the university.

A. Michelle’s Answer

Community college is a viable option. Spending two years there could have you strengthen your skills to make you a strong candidate for a 4-year school if you decide to do so. Apart from college, check to see if there are any resources to help you address your test anxiety. Doing so could help you in the near term, boosting your GPA.

Brandon’s Answer

It depends on what it is you want to do. Some career paths will require you to go to a specific education pathways and might require a specific school. If you have a solid idea on what you want to do, and going to a 2 year tech school is something that genuinely will help you out in the long run, then I say that you should do it. But I would want to recommend taking it slow and think about what you should do. Speak to a school counselor for advice, they might have some advice. Some schools might accept lower GPA students but it will depend on what school you are applying to and there requirements.

Lots of people getting to stay in community colleges when they're GP is the best. Also for some people financially and makes more sense to do two years at a community college and transfer over to a state institution or another institution of your choosing. Not only versus allow you to save money but it also gives you a chance to get your GPA to where it should be so that you look favorable to future institutions.

T.J.’s Answer

Hello Jocelyn!

There's many ways you can go to college, even if you're GPA isn't high.

You can start off with community college. They accept anyone that graduated from high school.
Many people who struggle with academics finish their general education there and transfer to a four-year-university later. Community colleges offer support systems to those in need, and the classes are often smaller. So, you'll likely feel supported in that environment.

Another suggestion is to start with a four year college - 𝘣𝘶𝘵 - go for one that doesn't require test scores or a high GPA for admission.

As long as you make an effort to ask for help and try to persevere through any hard course problems, you can reach your goals.

Sending you encouragement with pursuing a college education :)
