[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was me -- through HS. Actually, I did ok the last semester of my senior year. What were the consequences? Well, I was rejected from every decent college I applied to. I ended up going to a meh private school that accepted me because I could pay the tuition and had good math SAT's (lousy English SATs). I stayed there 1.5 years, transferred to a good state school (Va Tech), went on to a decent grad school, and today I am a "[b]world renowned physicist[/b]" (that is what others say). You need to think the long game. DC probably will not. One thing I would do is make sure there are no issues (ADD, dyslexia) that are interfering. [/quote] Yours is a great story. Congratulations on your success! Teacher here. Wondering what helped turn it around for you? [/quote] One teacher in HS who believed in me. And she made me to my work for my other classes. Otherwise I would not have access to her lab[/quote]
