Don't rely solely on your GPA.\n\nI sure hope you were in clubs or participated in school activities.\n\nGPA is important, but they like to see involvement.\n\nSports, clubs, etc. and not just joining the pics for the yearbook, but actually having participated.

Continue on a college track curriculum at your high school.  Take a lot of math, science, physics and computer/engineering classes if offered. Do as well as you can. Godo grades matter. Stay active and physically fit.\n\nI think that having a miltary background helps. Look for colleges and universities that offer ROTC programs. Consider Airforce or Navy. If you focus on the needs of space exploration in terms of course of study, and work hard then you can have a chance. Most astrobauts di come from the miltary. Those that do not are scientists thatare top of their field. Combining both will help. Major in physics, enginnering, biochemistry, work hard with an ROTC program, apply to flight school and try to get the skills you will need to apply.\n\nCheck out:\nhttp://spaceflight.nasa.gov/outreach/jobsinfo/astronaut.html\nhttp://spaceflight.nasa.gov/outreach/jobsinfo/astronaut101.html\nhttp://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/academy/astronauts/wannabe.html\nhttp://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/academy/astronauts/training.html\n\n\nWithout the miltary option, then go the hardcore science route. Look for graduate schools that focus on programs that will lead to future space exploration. MIT, CalTech, and the like. to date, ex Navy/Airforce, teachers, and scientists have made up the vast majority of space faring folks. You want to be a part of one of those groups, knowing that teachers are few and far between to be picked.\nBest of luck to ya.

you want lots of extracurriculars. Ask your guidance counselor what are the key extracurriculars that would make you competitive for that type of school.\n\nI believe there is an interview process so make sure you brush up on your interviewing skills now that you are young.

It depends on how much work you put into it. Public school can, in fact, be really hard if you take Advanced Placement Classes, but it's worth it if you're up for a challenge. As for the rumors about the way freshmen are treated badly, those are pretty much false. Get involved. Join clubs to meet new people, go out for a sports team, or join the band. That way you'll meet kids with interests similar to yours, and you'll make friends quickly. The more you get involved, the more fun you'll have. High school can be a blast if you put effort into it!

Relax, you'll be fine.  Get involved in the things you are interested in.  Be a leader, not a follower.  Don't do stuff to be "popular" when you know in your heart it is wrong.  Study hard, play hard.  Be kind to others.  I loved high school; the best 4 years of my life!

Well if you are in High School most of the colleges want your SAT scores.  Why not have some volunteer work or community services under your belt? Or why not be a part of the debate team at your school or some known academic club.

1) You can go to a good college and get into any program except for any honors program.\n2) Colleges look at your 10-12 grade year grades, your SAT score and references. \n3) Yeah, well if your GPA is above a 3.0. If your essay is good enough and you have great references. \n4) You can get scholarships whenever. If the scholarship is from the school then you should try at the begging of each semester.\nTry fastweb.com also apply for FAFSA\n5) I so wished I would have gone to a community college first. Some people think that it's crazy, but it's beneficial if you have problems in high school and want to continue your education. You can transfer to WHATEVER university you want to after you graduate community college, if your grades are good.\nIt's also good if you don't feel as if you're ready for a big university with classes full of students and want to start out small.

High school is not as hard as you think, it's kinda like middle school only your teachers arent gonna care if you have a crapload of homework from another class.  Also there is alot more people there your not gonna know.  So get some of your friends and make plans to hang out the first day so you aren't alone.

1.  Post international comparative student average scores.\n2.  Post a spotlight brief story about a selected student each week with a very attractive photo of the student.  In a school that did this, the selected scholarly student's parents were asked two weeks in advance to write a brief bio about the student to add to the posted story. They called the posting the "Wrangler of the Week" in a Texas school.\n3.  Organize volunteers from your school to assist and judge at elementary schools' spelling bee competitions.  Organize fun spelling bee contests at your school for lunchtime fun.  Make such competitions as open and possible to win for ANY student as possible.\n4. Profile your school's academic competitions by inviting elected local, county and state officials to visit your school during lunchtime to mingle and encourage participation with everyone after they announce upcoming competitions at your school.  You would make all of this as easy for the visitor as possible.\n5. BEG non-competition participants to manage academic events, to do video, write press releases, to be academic clubs' ombudsmen. Appeal to their particular strengths, especially leadership, other than focus on their lesser academic talents.\n6. "Hire" an army of the students in your school who are loners.  Don't appeal to them in a group way.  Approach them by yourself individually in private and don't ask but give them small tasks that could really help you in your job.  Loners want to participate but not in giant ways and not in longterm ways. BUT, those who follow through, don't abandon them.  They would be hurt if you did not have another project for them to do right away after their first. Never approach them with your gaggle of friends along. Later, appeal to your army of right-hands to "hire" one or two other people of their chosing to assume small projects. Let the "chain-of-command" then go through your original army so that they have some autonomy.  Delegate and build an army of supporters.\n7. Volunteer academic groups to assist at other events to support other students.  Seek out as many of these "cross-overs" as possible to breed awareness and networking.\n8. Before competitive academic events, approach non-participants to be "cheerleaders", at least two per each competitor. Every participant, though, needs to be covered.  The cheerleaders responsibilities would be to make a poster supporting their "racehorse".  Use your "hired" army from above to provide support to the cheerleaders in such ways as assign a hired "trooper" to be responsible for getting poster materials most conveniently to the cheerleaders or to surprise them with homemade cookies or such.  Assign one "trooper" to just come up with ideas and means to support all the cheerleaders and give that person newer troopers to manage, so to say.  Do not assign you close friends to activities closest to you. Go out of your way to be fair and fun. Don't spoil it for even one person or the entire scheme spoils and collapses in no confidence with you or your motivations.\n9. Assign someone to write a sales pitch that several people could use to approach parents for money to fund your projects.  But, try to keep parents out of sight and not involved.  They tend to steal the thunder of younger people who are enjoying leadership opportunities.\n10. Establish some kind of "demonstration" event during lunchtime, perhaps, with each academic group in the school manning in full force tables in a long row with flyers (troopers can write them) and small demonstrations, awards, trophies, success stories and upcoming events about their group, like at a convention (attend one to see what I mean).  Provide goodie bags for the student body and have candy and little gifts and such for everyone to get at each table or "booth" as they stroll around checking

Every university and college has different admission procedures for non-traditional students. \n\nDo research into the admission requirements at the schools that you would like to attend. Do this well ahead of time. If the requirements are not obvious on their website, call the admissions office and ask them what they require for non-traditional/alternative student admissions.\n\nThe teens that are currently working towards college admission, tend to focus heavily on their SAT scores, admission essay, extra curricular activities, volunteer/work experience, community college experience and community involvement. Usually, colleges will want to see either grades from a CC or a non-parent led class, and possibly recommendations from an outside teacher or community leader.\n\nBut overall, homeschooled teens have the same chance of getting into college as traditional students. They have to jump through different hoops, but their candidacy is not hindered by their alternative education status (with a few exceptions of universities that are not homeschooler friendly. Usually these are state schools). \n\nSo, if you are a homeschooler and you are thinking of going to college, I would recommend doing your research early, and realizing that if you don't get in as a freshman, you can take CC classes and enter as a sophomore. Homeschoolers know that there is always a way, if we just keep looking.\n\nGood luck!

for a freshmen, i dont think they offer it\ny have to wait untill ur in the second year of highschool. i suggest u join a few clubs as a freshmen, u seem like a smart person, ur choices are limited, not unavailable. also if ur not too busy with school, check out the career center for job options, and college info, according to the government and schools, at freashmen year, ur suppose to be looking at colleges, and creating a plan, also take a SAT, ACT and such. next year, ur suppose to work for that goal, know where ur planing on going, and send a request of info to that school. \n\ntheses are some of the things u can be doing, of course these are ideals, and almost no one follow these ideals.. personally u look like ur in good shape

You have to be really smart, or you just take a lot of AP classes in high school and score well on the AP exams, but I guess you have to be really smart for that too!

Call your high school and let them know what you need.  They may require you to make a request in writing and to pay for postage.

Preperation for college is never easy for a highschool student, and thats exactly what ap classes are preping you for.  On a scale from one to ten ten being the hardest, honors is a 4 in comparrison to AP which is an 7.  Get ready to work hard, but id say try it out because it is an amazing expierence for someone who wants to go to college, and also it looks good on a resume for colleges. Its more studying and harder grading from teachers, but you won't regret it in the long run.  That's not to say you won't sometimes feel overwhemlmed and a little regretful while taking the class.  But afterwards you'll be happy you took the challenge. and so will your parents because you're bound to do great in college.
