What is College For?
Most of the time, when people think of the main reason to go to college, it is due to information like what we see in the chart below.
The chart is accurate on average, but it doesn't tell an individual story.
College is many things. It isn't just 4-year university. It includes trade school, art school, community college, certification courses, licensing courses, and (obviously) 4-year universities. If you go to the military, you take classes too!
Last time, one of the words that you listed in the word cloud was "DEBT".
The magic of your high school performance.
GPA
Better grades = More choices next year.
So, where are you now? Look at your transcript. Find your cumulative unweighted GPA.
Many 4-year universities will admit students with a 3.0 GPA or higher.
Community Colleges can offer scholarships to students with a 2.5 or higher
Community Colleges admit any students who have a high school diploma
Technical and Trade schools admit students who graduate high school, but they usually cost significantly more than a community college.
Military branches require specific scores on the ASVAB test. The higher your score, the more available job choices you have.
95% means that you are missing less than one class per month.
75% means that you are missing about 4.5 classes per month.
