Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Unless you're like some kids I know with 2.0 GPAs and a 12 on the ACT you'll get in somewhere. Not saying you are, and even kids like that can go to a community college lol
I hate writing college essays man, not only are a lot of the topics ridiculously stupid but I often find myself exaggerating everything I write cause I'm such a boring person lol
