To Start, What is a college Transcript?
What do colleges look for? If I started off my freshman year with grades of C's and lower, will colleges look at that too?
Also if you could, Will you please give me the ways you study effectively? Like, where and little tips you have. Thanks. Finals are coming up and I sure would appreciate the help.
Colleges look at GPA, class rank, SAT or ACT scores, and sometimes extracirricular activities, depending on the school. Some also require that you write essays. A lot of public state schools will only look at the first three.
I like to study with music I like playing to keep me focused. Some people become distracted by it, but it makes studying less boring for me. I find I study the best at home. Public places just don't work. Good luck on your finals. [ LadyGoodman's advice column | Ask LadyGoodman A Question ]
