Hi Reddit, dont know if this is the right place to ask this, but here goes: My Freshman and Sophmore year of highschool I did HORRENDOUSLY. I failed no classes Freshman year and the best I got was a solid C or if I was lucky a B in just one class. I never tried and ended up failing one semester of Algebra in Sophmore year. Anyways fast forward to jr year, I started paying more attention but then I was "diagnosed" with a learning disability in math (turns out I really do have a disability in math, even with all the tedious hours of trying). So I was given an IEP (Independent Education Program), this would remove Geometry and any previously required math programs from my graduation requirements. This was after I was technically considered a dropout when I was out of school for two weeks working at whataburger.
I realize this was all my fault and I have taken responsibility for my short term desires, and for never trying too hard in school, but when I came back, I came back motivated.
I had returned to school and caught up on two weeks worth of work, managed to get a 3.0 GPA for that whole first semester and a 3.5 GPA for the upcoming semesters and the one Im in now. Since I've came back, I have never (not to brag) recieved a history, English, or math concepts, art, test score at less than 80% which is a big thing more me, considering I used to fail every single test I got. This is especially true in u.s history, i usually never get any test score below 90% (although, the twenties era, i was never interested in so I got one of my lowest scores, an 84%). In most of my classes I have A's, except for Chemistry which has been the death of me. I have a D in Chemistry right now and it's been fluctuating from D to C for a while, but I haven't failed it and I dont intend to.
Now I have been mainting really high percentage A's (with the exception of Chem). I have senior year to go and I am taking the following classes:
1)Spanish 3-4 (foreign lang. requirment for four year University )
2) English 7-8
3)AP (Advanced Placement) Government and Econ.
4)Math Concepts
5) Retaking one semester of Algebra in LS (Learning Services)
I am currently still in the IEP and it will be the system probably forever, and I have been looking for Four Year universities in Arizona and the only school that is okay with taking special ed students is UofA. Im taking my SAT next year even though everyone else took it this year but I was too late in finding out about it (again, my fault). I'm determined to get 4.0 next year, even though my cumulative GPA is terrible (my councillor said im never going to get it up to the standard of 80% even if I got perfect grades this year and next year).
I have no idea what Im going to do with the funds if I do manage to get into U of A. The tuituon is absolutely sky high. But my mom said financial aid should cover alot since were lower middle class.
So like the title says, what are the chances of me getting a BA in Poli Sci? I cant be stuck with an associates degree because I want to learn alot, not just a little. Community colleges dont offer BAs in my area and it really sucks. Also about the special ed thing, what are the chances they will actually accomodate my needs in not knowing math? Right now, Im learning 6th grade math, not even close to college math, what do I do?
Edit: I apologize for the typos, im on mobile.
