Your best bet would be a local open enrollment community college where you can build up a college GPA that can transfer.
2 :
UNC-Pembroke: Should not be a problem. NC A&T: Shouldn't be a problem, especially if you're a minority The rest of them are going to be tricky, especially UNC-Greensboro and UNC-Wilmington. Not sure about UNC-Charlotte -- it can go one way or another. Have you considered starting in community college first? You might have a better shot at the school you want if you can prove that you can do well in college work. Right now, your SATs are weak, they are all below the national average, and your GPA is unremarkable. Just out of curiosity, why in the heck are you waiting this long to complete your college applications? My daughter had all of hers submitted by October 15th. Waiting this long seems to be a lot of added stress, isn't it?

Yes, you do have a chance. Keep in mind, many schools also look at extra-curricular activities, volunteer jobs that you have held, and paid employment as well. Use your personal statement to focus on your accomplishments and your future goals. Work to emphasize those areas and seek the help of a mentor, family member, or friend who can review your personal statement and offer suggestions. The GPA and SAT scores may have a negative impact on your ability to receive scholarships. However, the financial aid office can work with you to explore other options such as work study and student loans. By the way, congratulations to you! You will be fine.

Crime rate is out of this world....and the school system is going thru a major crisis. If you are thinking of moving to Charlotte, think about Concord, Kannapolis, and Hunterville in North Carolina and Rock Hill in South Carolina. Much better areas and cheaper too..........

Charlotte, North Carolina?

Charlotte, North Carolina?
I currently live in new york and it is getting too expensive! I have a small bi-level that would be sold for around $350,000. My family chose North Carolina because it is said to be very nice and cheap. We are going there june 26 and are going to be looking around the Charlotte area because there are supposed to be a lot of available homes/jobs. Can someone reccomend a good place to live near charlotte with the houses in price range from $200,000 to $250,000. Also any additional information would be greatly appreciated, especially about the high school because my brother and I would be attending it next year.

You can stay in Charlotte for your undergraduate studies (pre-med) at like UNC-Charlotte or Davidson College. But for medical school, you'll have fewer choices in NC: Duke University in Durham. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem. or East Carolina University in Greenville.

The best thing to do is talk to a real estate agent... but here are some places you can look at: Myers Park neighborhood is close to Uptown area. It's very beautiful and lots of trees and big houses and condos and a few apartments to rent. Dilworth is a nice place to live if you like to walk everywhere. Lots of quaint shops and good dining in the area. Matthews is a little more spread out (less city than the other two areas in some areas) and there are some better areas than others but there is some really good housing in this area as well. I'm less familiar with Union County but that has some good places to live as well and school systems are pretty good as well.

I'm a Realtor in the Lake Norman market. We have several very wealthy areas around the Lake, The Peninsula and The Point both have homes in the Million++ range. There are a couple of neighborhoods in Cabarrus county, Concord/Kannapolis, that have homes in the Million++ range and some of the Panthers players live in these neighborhoods. Also, around Lake Norman, you have many homes owned by Nascar drivers, team owners, etc. that tend to be very expensive. I'd be happy to send you some links to listings so you can get an idea of the areas if you'd like. Just let me know.

What are some of the best high schools in Charlotte, North Carolina?

What are some of the best high schools in Charlotte, North Carolina?
So I live in a small town not too far from Raleigh, but probably by next year, I'm going to be moving to Charlotte (yay!) It seems to be a very big, beautiful city and I'm sure they have much better schools than the crappy town I live in.. I went to their board of education website which had a link for all their high schools but there were so many I didn't even know where to begin. I really want to go to a good school, so based on, I don't know, maybe top graduate SAT scores or grades, popularity, most classes offered, what are some of the best high schools there?

In response to an expressed need by the education community for an impartial and transparent analysis of the nation's educational data, Standard & Poor's (S&P) created School Evaluation Services. SchoolMatters.com is the largest, easily searchable collection of education data ever assembled and is designed to help those interested in K-12 education make better-informed decisions. This is not a spam entry. I am a parent that used the service to search Michigan schools and found it painting a different picture than the one from talking to people. It is very useful although very time consuming.

I don't know if moving to NC is gonna solve the bad job market issue, we just moved to TX because the situation in Charlotte was becoming unbearable. But we work in a totally different industry, so it might be different for your field. Matthews is a wonderful place to raise a family, great schools, beautiful family oriented community. 20-30 min. commute to charlotte downtown, close to everything. Try to stay in the southeast side of Charlotte, avoid the west side altogether. University area is nice, been there only a handful of times, but looks like a nice area, except that for me, it seems like it's far from everything. Matthews, Ballantyne, Pineville, Indian Trail, Waxhaw are all nice areas, good schools, low crime. Good luck, I hope everything works out for you.

John Robert Powers is a scam. I wouldn't suggest you go to them. As for performing art schools, it's sad to say, but, there is no art school out there that isn't cheap. Or at least any GOOD art school that isn't cheap. Best thing you could do is find private lessons with a trained professional. It'll still be expensive, but not as expensive as an art school. Best of luck to you!
