Am I literally screwed for college admission?

Applying to College
1

<p>In sophmore year I got a 3.50 and a 3.33 for my two semesters with no honors or AP classes and in junior year now I<code>m passing all classes except Advance Algebra with a D which brings my gpa to a 3.5 despite taking 2 honor classes. I</code>m fearing now I wont make it into certain colleges with such low gpa. I<code>m not taking the SAT till next year and am 100% sure it will be really low due to my math skills. I</code>m also in several clubs Japanese, Hong Kong, Girls Health Group, and Dragon boat Club. I<code>ve won a medal in my 1st season of Dragon boat club and am planning to continue. I can also speak in two languages English. Chinese, and am learning Japanese right now I need to get into colleges in the state I</code>m in not colleges from outer states
I have done volunteer services in
Japantown festival- 1 day
Alcatraz-7 hours
Stern Grove-3 days</p>

<p>I need to know if colleges will accept me. I have a brother who got a 3.5 on his gpa taking no honors or AP classes in sophmore and Junior year. When a prep-college institution was looking at his gpa they said it was too low for UCs despite being in track and doing lots of volunteer services with a 1500ish SAT score. Help! :(</p>

<p>No, you are not completely screwed. There are other colleges outside the “CC accepted”. There’s a reason why there is a top 100…meaning, there are other schools OUTSIDE the top 100 - all very good schools.</p>

<p>Maybe you won’t be able to get in a top 100 school, but there are hundreds among hundreds of other schools you could apply to and get it with that GPA</p>

<p>Yes, true however my parents are expecting a lot from me as a 2nd child since my brother isn`t doing so good >.></p>

<p>Zephyr being pedantic – of course you are not ‘literally’ screwed. Just a hint for the essays, use the word correctly. </p>

<p>However, to answer your question </p>

<p>Go Here [College</a> Search - College Confidential](<a href=“http://www.collegeconfidential.com/college_search/]College”>http://www.collegeconfidential.com/college_search/) pop in your stats and a bunch of colleges will pop out to start your search.</p>

<p>In order to answer the question you meant to ask – can you get into any of the schools that you view as targets? – we’d need to know a bit more information (such as what schools you’re thinking of, what your SATs (or at least PSAT’s) are, etc.)</p>

<p>Well my PSat score was 121 and the schools I<code>m hoping if not UC Berkely UC Davis or maybe SF State but i think I</code>m getting a little over head myself.</p>

<p>If you can get a 1600 on your SAT, then I wouldn’t worry at all for UC Merced. Probably not Riverside, either.</p>

<p>If you can do better this year and get like an 1800, then UC Santa Cruz could be doable. </p>

<p>So no, not at all.</p>
