I’m in a catch 22 situation. I want to go to a four year college, but I was previously placed in the remedial track and have a poor academic standing. If I go to a community college, I could improve my grades, but the material they cover is a replacement for high school classes and I’d be precluded from signing up for entry classes at the four year college. This seems like to would put me at a disadvantage when that finally happened and I would only be setting myself up for long term failure.

I’d consider CC if I could “transfer” in as a freshman to a four year, but the colleges I looked into all have rules against applying as a freshman if you have two years worth of credits. When I tried CC, the material was absolutely high school level just with smaller font in the textbooks.

    I’m just not familiar with any system where community college courses can boost a highschool GPA. I may just be misunderstanding the post though

      I don’t think they’re still in HS, but are between HS and college and hasn’t been able to get accepted to a traditional college. The CC is a stepping stone

      I could be wrong, of course, but that’s how I read it 🤷‍♂️
