Question by The Individual: Wasn’t able to get into a good university and now I feel depressed, can anyone help me?
I recently finished high school and graduated with a 3.4 GPA which I believe did not reflect my high school performance well. I graduated 20th in a class of 81 students.

I had a 2.8 GPA during my first two years of high school but after that I maintained a 4.0 my junior and senior year. My GPA was low due to many bad events happening in my life including extreme bullying due to my race/ethnicity, extreme depression due to the loss of some loved ones and I really did not want to be in the place I am in right now. My family came to the US when I was 11 and I didn’t get to adjust well, we lived up North but then we moved down south where I went to high school, I faced a lot of racism down here and I always wanted to get out of this new town but now I have to go to a local university, got into the honors program but I don’t want to stay in this town, I just don’t.

I can’t spend 4 more years here and I am depressed because of it. I took the SAT once and made a 1790, teacher told me I should retake it and apply to some universities as a transfer. Anyways, what can I do right now, I really want to get out of this town I am in.

Applied to schools like UGA (in state) and others, was accepted into some out of state schools but tuition was too expensive and was denied admission from UGA. Parents say they will pay for my final two years of college, the college I am going to will be basically free.

Go to one of the free online services and see which Georgia schools are accepting students with your qualifications.

Good services are at collegeboard.com and also at princetonreview.com

You think there is no racism in the north?
Or in wherever your folks moved from?

Learn to deal with it my friend, because it isn’t going away.
