Want to go to college but not sure how.

I am 18 years old and was bullied very severly at school and was home schooled most of my childhood. beacause of the constant physical and mental stress i was in a bad way for a while but am dooing ok now have a part time job and am starting to make some friends. Been thinking a lot lately about college and think id like to go but have no qualifications at all and not sure how to go about applying could anyone give me any advice please?

no have done no exams or tests at all.

Go to the college admissions office and they'll ask for some info so they can find out what your SAT scores were, then you'll have to take entrance exams in English and math. That's about it.

School, anyone can get into, thus there's a tonne of irresponsible kids in them who don't care for anything other than causing trouble and boasting off how bad their grades are.

College, depending on the campus and the course usually require certain grades to get into, thus near eliminating all the irresponsible idiots.

You'd be fine.

no have done no exams or tests at all.

i kind of just educated myself from 14 onwards with the internet and books. If i did get in worried id be mocked for my lack of education.

Sounds like you need a hugGood luck.

You can't go to college unless you finish high school or pass equivalency tests....LJS9502_basic

I guess that' s the answer.

Good luck though. You' re in a tough position so be strong.

Take and pass the GED, go to a community college for a few years, then transfer to a state university. Your situation isn't strange at all. It's a situation many people end up in.

Save as much money as you can while going to community college so you don't have money problems when you later transfer to a real school.

Also, this kind of situation is precisely why homeschooling is a horrible idea. A big part of going to school is socialization.

Thanks for all the advice will look into the colleges near me hears hoping ill get in

When you repeatedly spell "doing" as "dooing" I don't know if you're qualified.NiKva

Read more books. That was what ultimately improved my spelling and grammar.

I think they have GED tests for you at the college. and even GED classes if you have to.. but shouldn't take you long to get them pass becoz if you already studied anyway.. good luck my friend..

[QUOTE="NiKva"][QUOTE="chaz1911"] sorry spelling ain't my strong suit but i'm trying my best.meconate

Nope, by 10 is when I made all of my "bad" friends and got into trouble many times :P

I could still read circles around the people my age back then, but I also liked to get into fights and vandalize things :P

Edit: Btw its "principal"

I dropped out of high school at the age of around 14 and since then was home tutored (supposedly) until around 16/17 when I wanted to take up a college course. I walking into it without any qualifications because I hadn't took my GSCEs, but I had to take a test first before I could enter to see whether I was 'worthy' to pass. I passed with flying colours, and when taking AQA and other communication skill tests (sort of the equivalent to GSCEs in certain ways), I actually gained distinctions from them. I studied at college for 4 years in 3 different courses within the digital media department and passed them all. So yeah, just because you dropped out of school, doesn't mean it's pretty much the end and there's no alternatives. I'm from the UK by the way, so I'm not sure how it all works in America.meconate

Gangsta' by 10? I'm impressed.meconate
