I'm really upset right now..... I just got the letter from the college I want to go to telling me that I need to go to community college and take english, math, and chemistry and that I should go help out at animal shelters.... so pretty much I didn't get accepted.... I'm really upset I've been crying since I read the letter. I don't know what to do. I have no money and I need to either get a job or go to school otherwise my parents are kicking me out in july. I really want to go to school but my parents aren't even gonna help pay for it. I need help.....

Have you applied for financial aid? There is also nothing wrong with attending a community college. I'm getting my Associate's from a college. I'd be glad you didn't get in, reason being, studies have shown that when you graduate from a college during a recession, you'll end up making less money than those who graduate during a booming economy.
I work slightly above minimum wage and I am able to afford the costs of a community college.

The problem is I have to take english, math and chemistry.
I failed chemistry in high school and I ended up going to community college but I dropped out because I had to take pre-algebra again.

So if the problem is taking it, then go take it.

I don't have any money or a job and if I get financial aid I think i have to pay back and I won't have a job after.

Depending on the length of the program, odds are the recession would be on the way out by the time she graduated.
Just saying.
I'm such a elitist, I would never even consider going to a community college. UNIVERSITY FTW

Perhaps, but overall, the global economy hasn't recovered despite the US economy slowly rebounding. And the global economy is what counts.
Also Kitty, if you don't know, then go find out. If you get grants, then you do not have to pay them back.

That's not even remotely helpful.
