Hi, I, 16F am looking for advice on college applications. And general college stuff a newbie should know about.
Some background on my situation, you can skip to where the font is big if you want.
I'm currently in Grade 11 about to turn 12 in a few months and I'm worrying about College, it's a really big expectation my mother has. I wanna pick the college I want to go to but don't really think I have a choice, my mother is threatening to transfer me back to my home town if my grades aren't all 90's the picture I added is of my grades for the first term, she says if I don't at least have all 90's she'll transfer me back to my home town's highschool to finish there and I'll be going to a local college close to home.
It just feels really unfair to me that I don't get to choose what college I attend, even though she will most likely be paying for it, I have gotten decent grades all through grade's 7-10 all atleast above 91, I even got with high honors when I graduated (?) From Grade 10. Though I don't really have any specific colleges I want to go to, I just want the right to choose what I want for once. I'm looking to study IT and a course I found suitable is BSIT which I found through online searches, there are some schools I found suitable but that is still up for debate with my mother.
My main point:
I have zero idea how college applications actually work, if I can apply to more than one college, if I receive the results through email, what are the requirements, etc.
I want to see what my options are for schools as well but have zero people to talk about it with, my mother will most likely scold me for asking that, I'm not really close with any relatives, and I don't have any friends who aren't in the same grade as me.
Some main questions I have about applying to college:
• Is there a preset for a college application form or is there a spefic form each school gives their applicants?
• Can the results of whether I got in or not be seen through and email the school sends or is there just an announcement on their website of who got in?
• Can I apply for more than one school as a safety net incase the initial school I applied to rejects me?
• Is there a sort of, college entrance exam for all colleges?
• Once I actually get accepted into a college can a parent forcefully transfer me into a different one?
• Is a laptop a requirement to have for college? (I'm an IT course if you didn't read the first part)
That is all the questions I have for now! And thank you if you answered any of my questions!
(I tried posting this on r/studentsph but the MOD bot told me that my post might not fit with the sun Reddit so it redirected me onto here! I didn't want to make a mistake on where to post. But I just don't really know which sub reddits I could ask, sorry if my post doesn't fit!)
