<p>iam currently a high school senior and basically iam very frustrated right now
i currently have a 3.0 gpa weighted 2.4 underweighted
ive played 2 years of football
ive taken 12 ap classes
ive played 1 year of wrestling and
organization:
green team
beta club
art honor society
junior class vice president
red cross club
vice president of debate club
i took the sat's for the first time and got a 1320
iam an art major and want to study animation</p>
<p>here's my issue
i feel like if i was to apply to college now i would not get accepted. because of my low gpa and terrible sat score and i don't think i did so well on the act either. i want to apply to college right now but my application is not strong enough. so this year i took 6 ap classes 4 at school and 2 online to boost my gpa. also i want to do grade forgiveness for geometry and chemistry. and iam currently taking algebra 2 online. i have 3 months till i can take the sats again and i know i can increase my score 400 points in that time. and i know i can finish my online classes in that amount of time also. the test will be on the 28 and the scores will not show until 20 days later</p>
<p>so here's my question.</p>
<p>should i apply to college now with a weak application, or wait till iam confident with my application in February then apply. because usf ucf unf and uwf have rolling admission.</p>
<p>Hello-
I would strongly suggest that you spend some time and carefully read the admission requirements to each school you wish to apply for and additionally, read the messages listed here on this web site and hopefully your questions will be answered.
If I may provide a bit of advice;
Usually, your senior grades do not count towards your GPA in regard to freshman admissions and your SAT score of 1320 is rather poor. Possibly, you may wish to contact your high school guidance counselor and have her provide you with some suggestions. As far as I can tell, your chances at admissions to a regular 4-year state supported college are minimal and you may want to seriously consider a community college for your first two years.
Good Luck</p>
<p>ok in my opinion, here is what you should do: get STRAIGHT A’s this year, to boost your GPA, then apply in like february. </p>
<p>& in the meantime take your SAT/ACT again to raise your scores. and then just hope you get in… bc to be honest your gpa sounds low and you need to bring that up. </p>
<p>they have a 3.0 minimum, and with a 3.0 you need really good SAT score to balence it out :/</p>
<p>Like David wrote above: go see your high school guidance advisor for options. According to the below link, you’ll be denied admission with a 1320 SAT–they wouldn’t even defer you. If you get A’s and get a huge improvement in your test scores next couple of months, maybe apply then. Maybe take ACT–some people do better on that test than SAT. If you have to, drop EC’s to get grades up and to prepare for SAT and/or ACT tests.</p>
