Is there any hope for me to get into college with a terrible academic record?
After graduating from high school in 2008, I had no idea what I wanted to do at all. My GPA was around 3.5, but with absolutely no Advanced Placement or any kind of Accelerated cles behind me. I didn't take any foreign language cles or science cles such as Biology or Chemistry and the highest math cl I completed was basic algebra. After bouncing around three different community colleges in my area for two years, I received three A's, one B, one D and many F's and W's (Withdrawals). I had no goals and no vision as to what to do with my life. Now, things are different. I have a clear academic goal (B.A. in History) and a clear career goal (Law Enforcement, preferably the FBI). However, after two years at various community colleges with an atrocious academic record, all indicators tell me that I need to "give it another try" at my local 2-year institution and start from scratch. As someone like myself who absolutely DETESTED every junior college that I went to (awful and unmotivated students being taught by some of the most unprofessional professors I have ever witnessed) I really need to get beyond the absolute misery that is our community college system. Is there any avenue that I can take that can get me into ANY 4 year university given my academic record? (And by any, I mean any and all!)
