2.8 GPA and 28 ACT score

Applying to College
1

<p>What cooleges in Texas preferabbly would accept a 2.8 gpa and 28 act score?? I have 11 AP classes and 6 IB classes? </p>

<p>Maybe you should thin out your AP/IB classes in an effort to raise the GPA. Spk w/your guid counselor about college choices for students of similar academic success?</p>

<p>Is that 2.8 a weighted or unweighted GPA? Did you do better or worse in core academic subjects? If your school is like most with IB/AP classes, you would not have been able to take them if you had not maintained a decent GPA. Are you a rising senior? I don’t see any reason to drop your rigorous course-load, especially if you do well enough on your IB/AP exams to possibly earn college credit for them (this would be especially beneficial at a less-selective college which you might want to transfer out of or take higher-level classes). Are you a TX resident? Do you want a public college for financial reasons? From what I understand, UT-Austin is out of reach for you, but other state colleges should be possible. </p>

<p>Texas A&M maybe? </p>

5

<p>Are you in state or out of state? What is your class rank? Are you looking at private or public schools?</p>

<p>I want to go to a TEXAS school and i am from TX</p>

<p>As someone else mentioned what kind of GPA is it, weighted or unweighted, overall or academic only GPA?</p>

<p>I suggest trying Naviance or Cappex and plugging your scores in. I really like Cappex, you can pick the states and put in GPA and SAT and they give you a sense of your chances as well as data on each school.</p>

<p>A 2.8 unweighted GPA with tough classes is not that bad - not Ivy, but not that bad.</p>

<p>Texas State University.</p>

<p><a href=“Freshman Admission Requirements : Undergraduate Admissions : Texas State University”>http://www.admissions.txstate.edu/future/freshman/admissions-requirements&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>They have automatic admission. A 28 should get you in, if you’re in at least the third quartile. </p>

<p>My S’12 had just a bit higher than that (UW with difficult courses) and the same ACT. He was focused on midwest LACs and was accepted to almost all of them.</p>
