How to get into College?

Question

Hi, I'm am 16 years old, I go to Boston Latin Academy, and I'm going into 11th grade. I was wondering how to get into a good college (what is the process?) My grades aren't good, I have a 2.1 gpa for grades 9th and 10th. Although I hope to do well this year. I wanted to know if it was too late and it was impossible to get into a college with my grades. When do you start sat prep courses? I got a 125 on the psats so I realy need to go and do well at these classes. Honestly I am a realy great baseball player, I played Varsity for school, I play for my town league, a 15 to 16 year old and 17 to 18 year old rbi team(traveling teams), a williamsport team (another traveling team), and I also play in a Fall league. I realy want to go to college and my only way to pay for college is if I get a baseball

scholarship. I am realy looking for some advice on getting into college and maybe something you can suggest for baseball.I know I need to study and practice, but other advice would be great.

Answer 1

Colleges also look for students who are involved in a lot of activities- in and out of school.  All the baseball is definitely good, but you could also participate in other school clubs, student government, or volunteering for a cause that you like.  Good luck!  I'm sure you will find the right college fit!
