How could OP apply to a college then suddenly is writing an essay after he got out of high school? Newspaper job?

or the OP could have applied last year and is writing an essay for community college that she goes to after thinking she didn't get into any of the universities.

Maybe they're at a junior or community college; cheaper to go to, and without the application process one has to go to with other colleges. Edit: Nice, #36.. just barely ninja'd me. You're quick.

True summer classes suck, and if it is an application good luck. Haha ninjas always win.

Who says he's out of high school? A lot of people apply to colleges their junior year, so they get the acceptance/rejection letters and have their senior year to tour different schools and decide which they like best. He could be typing an essay for any class his senior year.

Or the OP could be writing an essay cause she wants to? Either way, why on earth would a university approve/decline an applicant before they're finished with high school? Surely they need the grades from their final year to base their desicion on?

False. Usually kids apply in the fall of their senior year and hear back sometime in the spring, so they can be ready for orientation in the summer. If colleges waited until June after graduation to send acceptance letters, no one would have enough time to prepare, get plane tickets if the college is out of state, deal with loans, and make it to orientation -- some colleges start orientation IN June.

That's a bit silly. What do the universities base it on, then? The fall semester grades? And then, why bother with the spring term, if your grades then don't matter?

Yeah thats pretty much how it works, although senior year second semester is supposedly much more laid back. As long as you don't totally eff it up, most colleges will not revoke your acceptance. Seniors don't usually ahve to worry to hard about second semester. People have even coined a word that describes it, calling it "Senioritis", making fun of it like it is a disease.

Or, better yet, since he's not paying for college or anything, he doesn't have anything else to offer you (except love and friendship, but he's proven that he doesn't have that to offer anyway), you can cut him out of your life now. Don't tell him where you're going, and don't contact him once you get there

It's more like the parents are NEVER obligated to pay for their childs college. The people who believe #22 almost certainly grew up with no money problems. Those of us who grew up without usually call them entitlewhores.

quite the matter of opinion right there.
