So you didn't do so hot on your SAT? Try applying for a college that dosen't require them. In my state you can get admitted to any in-state school w/out the SAT, but you will need the ACT. Also Junior Colleges often don't even require the ACT. You could prove your worth for a semester or two at a little school (which is usually cheaper) then transfer to the school you really wanted to finish up.

If you find a job you like it would be a good way to get some experiance AND it will take your mind off cutting.

I hope this helps.
