Alright, so I'm wanting to go back to private school. Hopefully this is the school year I go back, hopefully.

So this school requires a 2.75 GPA in core classes. But I don't meet that. The school charges $12,400 a school year. My dad said that if I don't have the grades to enter, he can donate some money and they would accept me (if he gets some stuff situated). He said if he donated around $5,000-$8,000 additional the school would probably accept me. But I'm worried if they don't accept me :confused::what:
Do you think they would accept me if he did that?



Heres what my GPA per semester is

Grade 9
Sem. 1
2.2 GPA
Sem. 2
1.8 GPA

Grade 10
Sem. 1
2.0 GPA
Sem. 2
1.6 GPA

Ummmmmm, not to be rude, but a 1.6 GPA is around a D grade average, if i'm correct..

The private school probably has a GPA requirement to make sure their students can handle the rigor. Private schools are generally more rigorous than public schools. Honestly, looking at your GPA, I would stick to public school. Maybe put more effort into your school work, prove me wrong, but you'd be wasting your dad's money from your grades now.

Also, if you plan on going to college, you're going to have a really hard time. Your grades aren't going to get you into anywhere besides bad colleges and community colleges.

Well i go to a private school to. Not only these factors can make a difference.... Usually most schools have an entrance exam. I did well on that so i got a scholarship. My parents didnt even have to donate. have you taken it yet ??? If this doesnt work, remember it's always good to know somebody :) ;)
