What do colleges think if you repeated Junior year in a private school


Question Posted Monday February 7 2011, 10:17 pm

I did great my freshman year, mediocre for the first half of sophomore year and great for the 2nd half, but this year.. has pretty much been hell actually. Just with dealing with a lot of personal problems that have been developed throughout my life.. it's a long story. and it's caused me to fail 5 out of 8 of my classes.. it's embarassing to post this here with all the people worried with having low As.. but I used to consider myself an overachiever but I don't know, I just cracked and continue to be feeling overwhelmed and trying to sort out my problems. I think I need to see a therapist, cause I've never done this bad at school ever.

I go to public school, so I was thinking on whether I should repeat junior year at a local private school. I know it sounds crazy to say with failing more than half of my classes, but I'm smart.. and when I fully commit I get nearly perfect, if not perfect scores. but maybe cause im such a perfectionist that it takes me longer to do things.. and then i fall behind and then its just a mess that starts

Anyways, I was wondering if I can fix my act up what colleges would think about it? and how would repeating junior year affect my GPA? would colleges see it in my transcript and automatically write me off no matter what, even if I also do really well on the SAT, have strong extracurriculars, and can prove to them that I have really changed for the better? or should I just give up at getting anything more than community college. this is making me depressed now.. and its my fault but blegh.. i don't want a bad future for myself, but I keep being so self destructive.

well most colleges will most likely understand if you messed up your freshman year but for jr that means your moving backwards but its not the end just keep on trying and get better some colleges might not approve but im sure if you get more focus a college will see your recovery and how you got back on track
