Harvard University...is it too late?

My dream is to go to harvard. I'm currently in 9th grade and homschooled. This year i played soccer through another school, but did nothing else.

I have a 3.2 GPA and to be honest haven't done math in about 3 years. So I have no idea how to do Algebra.

I love to write and take pictures. I don't know if i'm good enough to make it into Harvard University though. No one in my family has ever done anything exactly amazing...

Also I would never be able to afford it. I would need to get a scholarship.

Is it too late?

Am I doomed to go to a community college?

You absolutely must do math so that you can get into a college. Most colleges actually require that you did a certain amount of math in high school. In fact, isn't math a requirement in most states to graduate high school, even for homeschooled students? And you'll need math in order to do well on the SATs. So that's a major issue for you. Must be remedied.

With a 3.2 GPA, and without having the math that Harvard requires, and thus also probably not getting great SAT scores on the quantitative sections, Harvard is not within your reach. That does not necessarily mean that you won't get into a four year college. It does, however, severely limit your choices.

If, however, you were to start doing all the college prep classes now, including math, raise your GPA, do well on the SAT, and continue with the soccer and/or add some other extra curricular*, then maybe. And if not Harvard, then at least you could target other quality universities. But you need to make some changes, starting now.

So it's really not too late, but you must get yourself on a college prep path of coursework.

*As for extra curriculars - these do not have to be things that are connected to a school (although the soccer is great). They can be things you do independently. Maybe something for your church, or a part-time job, or volunteering in your community - lots of options. And you don't have to do a million things. Do a few of quality, and really focus on them. Do them with some depth, and that will set you up well for college admissions re: extra curriculars.

You probably won't make it into harvard (Especially if you need financial aid) without taking math, but by no means are you doomed for CC.
My dear lady. If you only knew the selection process with those with stellar grades you would know this stuff MIGHT get you in junior college. I'm afraid it ain't gon' cut it.

How could you have a lifellong dream to get into Harvard and this is all you have to show for effort?
You won't have to do community colleges. You can still get into a 4-year college. Harvard really far beyond your grasp though.
u are not doomed to community college, but u can always enter into a good university. but just take math b/c u will need 2 years of it in order to get into any university!
You've already been given some very good advice about what you need to do to prepare for college in general, but personally, I'm curious why Harvard is your dream. It isn't the first school I would recommend to someone who loved to write and take pictures, or who's used to a lot of one-on-one academic attention. So unless you know something I don't about the place, what is it that you like so much? The size? The location? The look of the campus? Or is it just the prestige? In between your studying and activities, really ask yourself what you want in a school, and look for some places that match that.
