A lot of smart people have trouble getting into college because they don't do anything but study. They have very high grades, and they have top SAT scores and other things that make them look very desirable. However, they haven't done anything else, which makes the college question whether they have any other interests or whether they are capable of handling more than one thing at a time.
Not everyone is good with time management. People have trouble budgeting their time appropriately and they don't get things done like they should. This is often a problem with studying and completing work for students and also for those who work in the business world.
It's something that a lot of people wonder about. What if they get a two-year degree at a community college and then move up to a four-year college? Whether you should do that depends largely on the colleges.

I’ve been waitlisted, what does that mean? It can be very disheartening to work very hard on a college application and receive a letter saying that you’ve been placed on a waitlist. It can often also be confusing. What exactly do they mean when they say they’ve placed you on a waitlist?
If you’re in senior year of high school and you’ve already been admitted to college, you might be tempted to think that your senior year grades really don’t matter. After all, you’re through the door, right? Nothing can touch you now!
