College with D's?
Okay im in sophmore year of highschool and right now I have mostly d's in my school work. Last year I didn't do too great, i got by on mostly c's, and im on my final quater(?) in the year. My mom yells at me every night that i won't go to college on these grades, even if i get all a's next year and senior year. Is this true? I don't think it can be because I know people who went to harvard even though they had f's for quiet a while. But can anybody assure me?

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
as long as you get your homework done... study for even 10 to 15 minutes a night or so you can bring your grades up. your junior and senior year are what colleges really depend on... study hard for your sat's and getting info on colleges now. trust me... it seems pointless... but my bff waited till after she graduated and had 10 times the trouble getting into colleges she wanted. i however started my research and such back in my sophmore year. i knew all the info i needed.. knowing the info for the colleges you want to apply for will help a lot

my brother had D's till his senior year. in his senior year he got all A's. but he couldnt get into good colleges. only the party ones. so he decided to go to a community college for 2 years then go to a university. its longer and harder work to get wat he wants but he says its all worth it. if you want to get into a good college you should do that. a little more money but pays off in the good life.

unfortunately, your GPA is suffering severely, which colleges do look at.
no it's not necessarily true, but they must have had outstanding SAT scores to go to harvard. plus you wouldn't want to just get away with going to a good college, you'd want to EARN it. you will get into college.. but that means nothing. if you want a good, well-paying job you're gonna want to step it up a lot more, especially considering it's going to get harder and harder. senior year also doesn't really count because most people are already practically accepted into college by midyear.
first of all, what's the root cause of your grades falling? not studying? a guy? friend issues? you REALLY need to start getting back your A's & B's, so figure out what you need help with and act accordingly!

It really depends on the kind of college that you're considering. Anyone can get into college, even with less than satisfactory grades. There are always state universities, junior colleges, and community colleges to consider. Don't worry! You can definitely make it to college! Depending on where you live too, some in-state colleges mostly just look at your sophomore and junior year grades. Just keep it up junior year for sure!
