Can you get into college if you did bad in High School?


Asked by Confused
I didn't do very well in High School making C's & D's. I wasn't interested in college then and I just did what I had to do to pass and graduate. Now that I am 27 & at a low-paying, dead end job & I would like to go to Dalton State. I never took any test for college while I was in school & of course my grade point average was not good at all. Do you think I would be able to get accepted into Dalton State & would I be eligible for any kind of grants like the hope scholarships or something? I have always lived in Georgia so that wouldn't be a problem. Thanks for your help.

It is possible, but you may have to take additional supplimental courses before actually working on your degree. Kudos for your change in attitude! I hope it all works out well for you! :D
