You're about to graduate from high school with less-than-stellar grades, but you still want to go to college. However, if you have less than a 2.0 grade point average, is college even an option? If you're willing to work hard and rededicate yourself to your studies, there are Pennsylvania colleges that will give you a second chance and set you on the path toward academic redemption. The best option is to look at your local community college, most of which will accept students with low grades. Provided you succeed at the community-college level, you can then transfer to a larger college or university to complete your degree. - According to its website, the Community College of Allegheny County enrolls approximately 30,000 students in its 170 degree and certificate programs.
