well at my school to graduate and get to College we have to take the ACT and Prarie state Exam :cry: ...I don't even need that for my school I'm going to next! :cry:
You live in IL? Cuz I do, and we had to take those last year.

Really, anyone can get into college if they can pay for it. There's always junior/community college if you mess up in high school, vocational schools, then the traditional University/Colleges.

Generally you just need decent grades and test scores to get into the more traditional ones. For Community, I think you just need to apply and be able to afford it, unless you get some type of financial aid.

I'm not in college yet, but everyone's told me to just expect to work and that the professors won't baby you through it. If you fail a class, that's your money lost and no refunds.
Yep I live in Illinois...not chicago mind you :P.

Yeah at the college I want to go to first it's a community college and they take just about anyone who's willing to learn (or as my friend says it, anything with a pulse) but it's not bad education so I'm doing it :P.

Yeah community is cheaper too you save a TON of money :D.

I honestly can't wait for college it sounds easier than HS..my mom even told me that even though she never graduated D:.
