I am almost 30 with a Bachelors in English/Creative Writing. I chose this field basically because I was flat out undecided for many years and just went with this. For many years I have felt as though I never found my “niche” in life, or what I “wanted to be when I grew up”. I didn’t focus very well in college as a result of having no interest and graduated with a 2.8 GPA. (I grew up believing I would simply take over my parents Real Estate office anyway so “who cares? about the GPA anyway?”. Almost 6-7 years later, real life experience and a lot of growing up my mind has finally refocused.
I have an incredibly strong interest in Astrophysics. My husband has his PhD in Pharmaceutics so this might have had a lot to do with being exposed to the sciences. There have been so times where I will sit there listening to the details of his experiment and wish I could have been in the room or watch a documentary on the universe with my mouth open for several minutes..and believe me when I tell you I have seen MANY of them. I strongly feel that this is what I missed out on. This is what I should have studied in college and followed through on. For Christmas I even asked my husband to get me a telescope. I NEED to do this.
At this point however I am pretty skeptical about if it will ever be possible for me to even get accepted into a program having been out of college for many years now with a not so great GPA to look back on. Does anyone out there (maybe in the field) have any suggestions for someone who found their niche far too late in life?

Right now I am a senior.
I started looking at schools like middle of my junior year. At first I felt REALLY overwhelmed because I didn’t really have any requirements like location or size. I was just looking at schools in my SAT/GPA range.
Then, all the schools started blending together so I narrowed it down to two cities, NYC and Philly. From there, I got NYU, Fordham, Barnard, Temple, and Drexel.
After visiting most of these (and also Villanova) only three are still in the running .. and they’re SUPER expensive ones and also target/reach schools.
So in the past few weeks I’ve decided to branch out and look at other locations. The thing is, I don’t really have a preference for hot/cold or anything so I’m getting schools basically all over the US.
AND NOW I’M RIGHT BACK AT THE BEGINNING! I feel so overwhelmed and there are so many schools and they all seem so much alike.
Me:
-3.67 GPA
-2050 on SATs
-I live in MA
-4 AP classes total and very heavy course load
-acting is my niche but not gunna major in it , but having really done many extracurriculars besides theatre
-not athletic !
What I want in my school:
-in a city
-large-ish
-good academics .. but that’s basically a given considering i’m dishing out 25k+ a year ??
-good nightlife/parties
Schools on my list:
1. McGill – if I got in, I’m definitely going here , but not sure if i can get in
-barnard (reach/target)
-carnegie mellon (reach)
-fordham (safety/target)
-villanova (reach)
-university of pittsburgh (safety)
-syracuse (safety)
-university of wisconsin /madison
-university of michigan
-university of georgia
-lehigh university
-university of texas/austin
-dalhousie
and more are keep being added ??? i don’t even know what to be filtering out. all of them seem very similar. it will be hard to visit now , i don’t have that much money disposable to cart myself around the US looking at schools, and my parents said to hold off on that until after i am admitted. but ahhh this is all too much
where do i go from here

I just received my SAT score back. I was not prepared and I completely ignored the subtracting points rule and if I ran out of time I would just fill in random answers. I just enrolled in a local SAT course affiliated with the Princeton Review, which would hopefully help me improve my score overall.
I’m gonna be a freshman in high school this year so i have roughly 4 years ahead of me to prepare. My GPA is a 4.0 at a 7-12 prestigious public magnet school that is ranked 3rd in the nation and 1st in my state.
My total SAT score is a 1480 (i know its terrible! I hope I can improve!) :
Reading- 540
Math- 490 (I could understand this score because I’ve only just finished Algebra 1 and beginning Geometry independent study)
Writing- 450 (do you recommend purchasing a grammar book?)
Any tips greatly appreciated! Thanks!

A lot of questions to answer but any help would be appreciated.
I just finished my Freshman year with a 3.5 GPA. I may not be the brightest student as I barely managed to get into college with a 2.4 GPA and attend a state school California State University Northridge. Anyways, I recently switched my major from Marketing to Accounting. Since I think I know what I want to do with my future would it be a smart choice to go ahead and Major in Accounting with a minor in Poly Sci in order to look into a future job with the FBI/CIA/NSA or some other intelligence gathering gov agency? I also struggled throughout high school with my math classes and I am going to have to retake my Business Calculus class because I received a C-, but a C or better is considered passing for Business majors at my school. Despite the setback I took accounting courses in high school and although they were easy I actually feel like I enjoyed doing Accounts Receivable/Payable, etc. I even enjoyed an AP Government class I took in High School.
I’m also looking to join the Army ROTC as it is the quickest way I can develop leadership skills that civilian jobs may not give me or take longer to develop. I am looking into some day possibly becoming an officer within Military Intelligence, Finance Corps, or Signal Corps. I seek to some day receive a top secret clearance.
Although I am still unsure I plan on continuing my education after serving 4 years in active duty while being a reserve to receive an MBA or Law School.
How would all this lead to a potential career in the FBI/CIA/NSA or some other intelligence gathering gov agency?
