I've decided, at age 23 to finally go to college. I'm extremely interested in philosophy and religous studies. Problem is, I don't know if the grades I made in high school were good enough to be accepted into the philosophy program. It seems like I read somewhere (which I can't find now on the site anywhere) that the professors took that into account. Do they? Or do they look at your core class grades? Does it matter if you took AP classes in high school? I did take AP English, but thats it.I've been putting off school for so long, and now that I've found something I'd like to study, I'm afraid I won't be accepted and that I'm setting myself up for a big dissappointment. Is there anything I can do to increase my chances of being accepted? Thanks! (link)

First you'll want to contact the university you plan on attending. Generally, schools have academic advisors who can answer all of your questions. The college I used to work at had placement tests if you didn't have good enough grades or were a returning adult. If there is a waiting list for your program, or you aren't accepted into that program right away, don't give up. You can always take general classes to help improve your gpa until a spot opens for you.
Good luck, remember there will be some challenges ahead, especially if you will be working by attending school. But the rewards are well worth the work. Just don't lose track of why you are doing this.
