My parents are hell-bent on me going to university, and i want to go to.
I most likely will go to one, but i am a bit confused.

I believed i could get into a Top-100 uni with a scholarship and I was completely depending on my SAT score to get me into a great university with full scholarship/partial.
But its become quite difficult now since its very likely the SAT wont happen in October. My GPA is bad, because i didn't really care about studies in my first year
of high school. But i also have done a paid marketing internship and have a'lot of extra curriculars.

So, i have started studying nearly 6-8hours/day (SAT and highschool).

But 6-8 hours is alot of studying. Especially for a test that may not happen.

I can spent those hours learning web design(already know basic HTML and CSS) and copy writing and start doing freelance work to earn money.

So, what do you say i should do?
