i'm a little worried about colage. my high school gpa is very low (sub 2.5 lol) and i'm concerned that schools that i applied to are going to take that seriously. i graduated high school 6 years ago, am I really going to be held to that standard alone?

How bad are you at english and math? If you go to community college they will just test you for placement and when you transfer to a 4 year they could not give a gently caress less about how you did in highschool.

Just call them and they have a transfer adviser that can help you streamline the whole process. Some states also offer significant financial grants when you go to community college so you may not need a dime even if you can't use the GI bill for that.

Sounds like you're on a pretty smart path for the next four years. Good on you. Don't forget about clubs and extracurricular projects because a degree alone won't take you far.

Also network like crazy with your peers. Make friends with people in your major as well.

After I have the credits I'll be transferring and finishing my last 2 years at a state school. good show OP, this was my plan exactly and it has worked swimmingly. welcome to the world of being the old guy in a class full of teenagers. frying chickens for a living is no way for a human to exist

Despite being a dick in this thread, I saw this and figured I can actually offer constructive input.momerath posted:i'm a little worried about colage. my high school gpa is very low (sub 2.5 lol) and i'm concerned that schools that i applied to are going to take that seriously. i graduated high school 6 years ago, am I really going to be held to that standard alone? Clep out of the baby classes, they cost 80 bux a test and count as course equivalencies. this is a clep: https://clep.collegeboard.org/exam edit: this owuld probably save you a semester or two of remedial math/college algebra. edit 2: you're military too, you can prob clep for free.
