If he has proof that he graduated high school, any college would accept him.

He would be given a proficiency test in English and Math. If he doesn't pass either, he'd be forced to take non-credit remedial courses. But he'd still be "in" the college.

(as long as he doesn't act stupid when he's actually registering for classes)......

I don't see any problem with this tread staying open if the OP just wants to talk about his life past and present. But I don't see any point in continuing to talk about the same subject that's been talked about for 35 pages here and in numerous other OP threads. Especially when there was never really anything to talk about in the first place. If assp had been 1/10th as persistent with a couple of harmless ladies working in a high school office, as he has been with badgering the WP user base, he would have had those motherfracking transcripts a long time ago.

If I ever in my me thread set up a situation where I have people going on and on about me and the same subject and or try dragging members into my personal life - I demand that thread be locked and that I be forbidden to ever start another thread about myself.

What was all that talk pages ago, between you and others, about transcripts having to be sent directly from the high school to the college, in specially sealed envelopes? That they couldn’t be submitted by the applicant...

That's what I meant-----proof that he graduated high school.

Sent by the way you stated.

Do you mean a HS diploma he can show? I seriously doubt he has still got it in his possession. In fact, I'd be hard pressed to produce mine. I think its in a chest somewhere...

And those classes of which you speak would be HS level classes for which he would be charged full college tuition. I think he would hate that so much it would be enough for him to stop attending.

As far as acceptance, I doubt he would be acceptable to Harvard, Yale, or UCLA.

I meant a community college. I meant the high school (or the college) would send the transcripts in a sealed envelope. That's the way it is done.

I was just "acclimated" to my new college situation.

It involved me logging on to the university data base, and their various online communities that are essential to my education.

I don't imagine other colleges are much different.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I guess I took your comments too literally! I thought you were meaning if HE supplied the documents, rather than the school supplying on his behalf.

@KK - Sorry to bust your bubble, but proof alone that he graduated from HS does not mean any college would accept him. Some colleges, for instance , have an admissions rate of 29%, meaning for every 100 applicants, 29 are admitted.

In some cases, your GPA has to be high, the average being 3.93.

Each school also has different requirements for standardized testing. You have to do well in either ACT or SAT testing.

Some schools also require a placement exam.

If ASS-P does decide to go to Patterson, CA, the closest community college to him would be Modesto Junior College which is 14 miles from Patterson. Here are their steps for getting into the school:

Step 1: Apply Online
Step 2: Access your MJC Email
Step 3: College Orientation
Step 4: Assessment Testing
Step 5: Education Plan
Step 6: Official Transcripts
Step 7: Apply for Financial Aid
Step 8: Register for Classes
Step 9: Pay Fees

And then attend classes diligently and do a lot of homework day after day.

But in this scenario college isn't a necessity, it's only a desire. Likewise a storage unit to hoard boxes full of stuff isn't a necessity, it's only a desire.

In this scenario what's a necessity, what's vital, is stable housing and a stable lifestyle that focuses on managing diabetes, congestive heart failure, renal kidney failure and copd.

...RU's endless, forever-flowing, stream of hatred for me make s me inclined to go away, perhaps, and not come back :cry: . I am in a lower class)status level than you - even when, as if right now, the health)money/personal security feelings have gone well for me here.
I had things ngd I was just going to do online now - To now, though I guess at least some will be done, I want to turn on my stomach and cry/wail, and I will after finishing this. I thought he was going to go away, hesaud that before, you remenber. He wants me silenced, even when I am not discussing the subject that enraged him so :cry: or making any side contents.
I guess RU is the king of everything here. :( Something else got me sad, but I'm going to cry)wail now. Goodbye. :cry:

I don't see how you think that random autistic people online can help you where social workers and other professionals who do that for a living and all day long cant. I want an answer to this. Otherwise I'm leaning to Ezs theory that you are just a troll.

KK is correct about Jr Colleges. Most have an open admissions policy which means all you need to attend is proof of HS graduation or be able to benefit from the instruction. Also most public state 4 year schools have a de facto open policy--they wont turn down another student because another student is another customer and they are in fact businesses.

One note on Jr Colleges though--don't underestimate them or consider them a "soft option". Many have outstanding programs aimed at particular job skills rather than the traditional college slew of useless courses like philosophy. Although the Jr College itself may be easy to get into, these programs are not, and do have high admin standards (HS grades, test scores, etc).
