Kinda Poor Grades...Need Advice
im not an A student or a straight B student or an A and B student. Im like a one B the rest C's and maybe one D here and there on the report card. I want to go to college, and get a good job. How are my chances?? I'm a freshmen and I have really started trying this 3rd marking period to possibly get all B's and maybe 2 C's. My question is really what are my chances of getting into a good college?? Thanks

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
If you buckle down right now and make A's, B's, and fewer C's the next three years you'll be in fantastic shape this year is only the tip of the iceburg admission counselers love to see improvement and one of your most important years is your junior year even more important than your senior year when getting admitted although if you do fall off to bad senior year you can still be denied after being accepted. But your chances of getting into a good college are extremely fair. Just stay focused.

It's freshman year and there's time to turn things around now. You need to relax first of all. Next, you shoud talk to your instructors about why you got the grades you did on your report card. Take the advice they give you and apply it to do much better.
Most students make the incredibly bad mistake of getting angry at an instructor over a grade rather than reading the comments on a report card, a paer you wrote etc and using those notes to improve and excell.
Next, get yourself a tutor for the subjects you are not doing well in as that will pay off for you in the long run. If you cannot find a tutor ask a friend that knows what they are doing and form a study group if need be or pay them to help you learn the material you are having trouble with.
Next, do you have a learning problem of any type? If you are not sure get tested as it could be affecting your ability to concentrate, learn and grasp certain things you are studying. In that case you can get extra help in your courses etc.
I would talk to your parents and approach your teachers and principals about all of this and your difficulty to perform at the rate you want to but are struggle with. Let the adults figure things out for/with you and I'm sure you'll be fine in the future.
You've taken two correct steps here to making the situation better. Number 1 you saw your marks and saw the problem number 2 you want to fix it to enhance your ability to get into college. The third is talking to adults and working on the problem areas.
When it comes to college they do indeed look at all your marks. However, they are more concerned about your marks in courses that you would need to have done well in to get into a certain program. For example if you applied for journalism they want to see you can write and got As or Bs in English and really won't care about your D in chemistry unless Ds, Es, etc show up rather consistantly on a transcript.
There's nothing wrong with a C as it means you are at the average percentile. Don't beat yourself up too much right now but do be smart and approach the adults whop can help you out.

well, for every class you have a c in, the college you go to will make you make it up, if they accept you. &it will cost YOU money. &this is only if they accept you. most colleges won`t accept students with many c`s. luckily, it`s only freshman year, &some colleges (such as cal state fullerton) don`t really look at freshman year grades, but i suggest you get a tutor.
