<p>I would like to attend those schools.</p>
<p>I would not like to attend any other schools (excluding ivy league schools and places like Stanford)</p>
<p>I also did not really want to go to Baruch but I just wanted to know what my chances were.
I can’t really attend any school that my parents have to pay over 15k out of pocket. Realistically, I may have to attend CC but my fear is that I would not do well and may have no way of transferring with a good GPA.</p>
<p>If you think you wouldn’t do well in a CC, then you wouldn’t do well in ANY school. Maybe college isn’t really for you. I myself is going to Baruch this fall coming from a CC with a 3.7 GPA. My HS transcript didn’t matter one bit.</p>
<p>Beggars can’t be choosers. If you want to go to a decent university, you have to go to CC. You’ll get a fresh start and colleges won’t see your current GPA. Just don’t slack like you did in high school and you should be fine.</p>
<p>Here is extremely personal advice. I had 3.4 GPA in hs with 1650 (sats. Only took once in 10th grade. I didn’t even bother applying to schools that I really didn’t want to go to. Instead, I went to community college for a year, received a 4.0, President of Student Government and President of Honor Society. I am transferring to Emory next year. Community College has so many opportunities if you take advantage of them. </p>
<p>not sure if you’ve applied yet but please please do apply to NYU, if anything. A 2.9 is whatever you make of it. NYU and other colleges like it do not only see a 2.9. If you’ve showed improvement over your 4 years of high school and take responsibilty for that plus a rocking essay, you will be fine. i know because i had/have the same credentials as you, 2.9 1810 SAT and i was accepted to NYU. Maybe a miracle or maybe the beginning of a new era but really do what you please. best wishes!</p>
