I'm not good enough

I'm thinking about applying to Morehouse College, but I dont think I have what it takes to be accepted. They require a 2.5 GPA and I have a 2.3 if that.They want a 21 ACT score, I have not received my ACT scores yet,but I know I didnt do as good on them as I could have. I just dont see why they would accept a dude like me. I really want to go to this school and I know if they give me a chance to prove myself I can keep my GPA in the 3.0 ranger or higher. I also dont have a ton of community service so they will probably think I'm lazy, when the truth is my last 2 years of high school have been chaotic. Ahhh man I dont know what I'm going to do. I just know if they take the risk on me they want be upset, but like I said before why would they take a risk on a kid with credentials like mine. If any of you currently attend Morehouse College can you please tell me if its even worth a try to apply?

You should definitely apply to Morehouse, because they ask you for an essay or personal statement, which will allow you to explain your situation. So if you write a kick **** essay(ask a good english teacher to help you with it) they'll probably give you a lot more consideration. I hope all goes well for you!!

I'll talk to my counselor about AP classes tomorrow and I'll also talk to my english teacher for help. Thanks for the help everybody.

Oh you stay in Chagrin now...that explains a lot.... If you really have a personal reason as to why your grades are the way they are, then I suggest explaining your hardship in your application essay. Is your main issue getting into Morehouse? or are you looking for scholarships from the school also?
