So, here's the story:
I am currently a freshman attending a private high school in Greenville, North Carolina. Since I'm in high school, I've started to search for different colleges that I would be interested in attending. I'm considering UNC-CH and I've viewed the application forms and application requirements. While I was looking through them, I noticed that a few of the required courses are not offered at my school as of now. My English literature teacher informed me that some colleges in the area offer extra courses during the summer, so I'm going to begin the required courses later this semester. But, I'm wondering whether taking the extra courses at a college during the summer or switching from my current school to a public school that offers these courses would be better for applying. I know that AP and IB programs are offered at J.H. Rose and South Central in Greenville, but I can't bear to leave my friends and my boyfriend behind. I know that my education should come first, but really, it is hard for me. What do YOU think would be the best thing for me in the long run?

You have a couple options!
You can switch to a public school and have the classes that you need... Yes it'll save your parents money, but obviously they put you in the private school in the first place so it shouldn't be a big deal.
Or, you can graduate and go to a community college...like Pitt or Martin Community College in Williamston, NC. They offer the classes, plus you'll be able to take SAT and ACT prep courses which are always helpful, and it'll raise your GPA which will give you a larger chance at getting into the College or University of your choice.
Good luck!
