<p>going into my senior year, I have decent SATs (in the mid-600s), but yeah my grades suck. my GPA is around a 78, so like between a C+ and a B-. I want to go to a school between Washington DC and Boston -- but where will I have ANY chance? I knwo theres alot of competition for colleges in that area. anyone have suggestions?</p>
<p>Decent SAT scores, say your smart but with bad grades it says ur lazy and not hard working to colleges</p>
<p>You could try Northeastern, American University, George Washington and BU…you’ll probably have a decent chance of getting into those.</p>
<p>thanks for the suggestions so far – Im not really lazy, just that I haven’t gotten excited by any classes . . . high school is just blah for me</p>
<p>C+/B- would be around a 2.5 GPA. That will not cut it at Northeastern or BU. Their average GPA for enroled freshmen is about 3.7. </p>
<p>Your SAT’s would be average for those schools but would not compensate for the low GPA.</p>
<p>George Mason, James Madision, American University are all good schools to look at with your stats. Their great schools near DC. Good luck!</p>
<p>thanks, all! :)</p>
