Will I get accepted into college?
I am a really hard worker but I am not very smart. I need to study SO hard to get a B in subjects like math and science. I am better at English and other subjects.
I am in Advanced Algebra (or Algebra II) and I am a senior. Its pretty low- I should at least be in Trig. There's a few other seniors too.
I was supposed to take chemistry this year (since it was the first time I would be able to because of the math level) BUT the school I just moved to did not have any more space and I was so mad because I couldn't switch my other classes! I am taking another science and next semester I might too. In total my sciences I've taken are: Physical science, Biology, Biotechnology, forensic science right now and next sem another one like that last one.
*Many colleges say they require at least one laboratory science, so biology falls under that category right? I hope so. I really don't want to go to a community college. I want to be able to go to a University that I want to go to and take the classes needed for me there.
I am not applying to hard schools. At collegeprowler.com they are all classified as "Easy" although they aren't thaaat easy.
I am going to write a really good essay though and my grades this year will be like 3 A's, 4 B's and one C (in math- this is very common for me) The only year I did not have a C in math was Algebra 1 (got an A-)
I don't know what my avg. GPA is but I have usually gotten 3.4 and this year its gonna be like 3.3. I AM SO SCARED. My apps are due in like month and a half and I really wanna get accepted! :( I don't want to go to a community college. i am SO worried.
I have many extra co's and activities and service and interesting things about me which will help.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Well, nowadays you don't need to be that smart. The grades & numbers are what counts. Which is bad for me. I think you'll get accepted. I'm a junior, my school doesn't offer anything like biotech. Mostly simple classes & many people I know get accepted. (Wow, I wish I was at your school, mine is so limited)

I am hard pressed to see how any of us can answer you as I don't think any of us sit on a college entrance board. My cousin does sit on the board for a law school entrance board. There are things they he wants to see in a transcript and an application that some of his associates on the board may not be all that interested in.
While grades are important, one of the interest my cousin has is to see if there has been a continuity in goal. Meaning in his case; has this student always wanted to be a Lawyer or is this something he chose in undergraduate school. So he looks for high school courses and electives that would lead to a pre law major in under graduate school. Then he looks at the students undergraduate courses. Yes he is looking at grades at the same time. He is also looking at work ethic, which includes the types of courses, electives and how much work is required to maintain a continuity both in grades and goals.
From what you have written I believe if my cousin was reviewing your application he would find you acceptable.
I hope this is helpful to you. I know this is a trying time for you. Getting in to you school of choice places a lot of stress on you. The only advice I can give you is to prepare for not getting in to your first or even you second school of choice. Why do this? Simply for the fact that if you have tried your best and don't get what you want and you are prepared for the worst, the fall won't be as devastating. If you do get your first choice the celebration and the feeling of accomplishment is also that much greater. Lawyers tell this to clients all the time.
When you place you hopes in the hands of others you have no control of the outcome other than the knowledge that you have done everything you can to meet the maximum requirements to get what you would like. So to avoid devastating outcomes always be prepared for the worst, them celebrate the success that much harder.
