Boomer asked:


Alright I need some serious help with the whole college thing I’m completly lost. I’m 17, and a juinor in highschool. The thing is though I’m HOMESCHOOLED (if I was in public I’d probably be a sophmore)! I dont have credits and a GPA. My parents would not let me go to a public school my whole life so its been like this since grade 1. I could go now though. How am I supposed to get into college under these circumstances? I’ve always wanted to go to college, its been the one thing I’ve always looked foreward to but I didnt realize there were certain things you had to have and do to get into one… how does college work anyway? If you guys could put it into perspective it would be alot of help no ones ever layed out the guidelines for me and like I said… I’m lost. also I want to either be a pediatrician or something along the lines of a physicist for NASA. So if you guys could lay out the guidelines and rules and all that for those specific career paths then that would be even more help

How to contact college coaches to express interest.

I am in my first year of college but am considering using this year off to work on my game and transfer next year to a smaller school to play basketball. How to contact college coaches to express interest? What is the most effective way to word my email and what information should be included?

I had offers from tiny schools coming out of high school but didnt accept because I took the academic route. But now I want both.

How do I transfer to another college for sophomore year?

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011
Mvs1231 asked:


This might sound strange but I am looking to transfer to a college close to home for next year. Dorm life is not for me and the houses near my school are really nasty. My question for you guys is if you went through this experience, any tips. Is it normal for someone wanting to go to a local college from dorm life? Is it harder to get into college sophomore year as a transfer student? Also, what do colleges look at for a transfer student SAT, ACT or just college grades. Any tips on how to make this process easier and to get into a local school faster. Thanks
