Applying for college

You sound like a good candidate for a public college in your state, most state schools don't require you to have a ton of extracurriculars. You have at least a 3.0 gpa, a job, and an honor society, which I'd say is good enough for a typical state school. Are you graduating next year or this year?

Bumping. Almost got trips in my original post.

Next year. What I just don't understand is why it's such a big deal to my mother. She's a complete idiot but pressures me far too much with everything, she's why I have depressed breakdowns where I literally want to kill my self because i feel like I'm not preforming well enough.

Ok, so the basic timeline is that you start sending in applications around october-december of this year. Choose several schools, I'd say like three or four. At least one should be a "safety school", like a community college, so that you have somewhere to go if you dont get accepted to other schools. Usually people get their acceptance/rejection letters in the beginning of the next year, like january, february. May 1st is the deadline that most colleges set for you to decide if you are going to enroll or not

Not him, but why is there such a huge turnaround period for high schoolers to get accepted? A lot of my friends from around the country went to college in their early to mid 20s and they got their acceptance letters within a few weeks

there isn't always. Some schools will get back to you rather quickly. I guess what I meant to say was that the latest you'd get a letter would be a couple months after you apply, but this is more often for competitive schools
