OT: Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I was hoping to get the attention of more college-like people with a focus on history who know what college is like,
On topic:
FYI: High School Senior in West Virginia, U.S.A.
Ok, very recently I've been REALLY worrying about my future. I am a dedicated student when it comes to my interests (history) but I'm at best mediocre at everything else. I wish I could be better but I don't know if its laziness or that I just don't really care about the subjects, but I just can't seem to get really good at anything. My SAT was like 1400 composite (it had an essay with it FYI) and my ACT is like 19 composite (maybe a bit lower to be conservative). I'm probably Not going to get much better because I am TERRIBLE at math.
I've been going through this real fear of not being able to get into college for the past couple days. I was thinking about W.V.U. but I also hear that is a hardcore party school. And I am not a partyer(sp?) at all. I'd like to get to a school that would accept my grades and provide me with a good history (preferably European) doctoral program.
I don't know about college at all. I know nothing about how exactly to get in or the reqs or what.
Are Test scores the end all and be all of college acceptance?
What do you guys think are my chances? Any advice? Any ideas for schools? I'm really getting anxious here.
