can i get in with a low gpa and high sat?? please help!

<p>So I really screwed up here
I just finished my junior year. My cumulative GPA is a 2.21....
I don't remember exactly what my freshman Gpa was, but my sophomore GPA was a 2.6, and my junior year gpa was a 2.1...
My sat score however was a 1970..</p>

<p>I am a minority (India , my parents were born in India, I was born here) I volunteered at a hospital for about 150 hours. I have no other ecs, my essays arent exactly anything To write home about..
I'm realty nervous. Where can I go? My top choices were
University of Arizona
University of Washington
Umass Amherst
Indiana university at Bloomington
Baylor university
Texas a&m
Penn state main campus
Syracuse</p>

<p>Please help,and any college suggestions would be great!</p>

<p>Your race wouldn’t help you since you are still considered Asian.</p>

<p>You are in a similar situation as me, but i was doing much worse in school.</p>

<p>I suggest you to take sat2 and do well in them, and apply to a school that focuses more on standardized tests than other factors which you are lacking.</p>

<p>@sfsy12 thanks, I’ll make sure to take those. Do.you know if it will boost my chances t these schools? Also where did u end up applying/ getting in? I’m super nervous and open to anything but CC.</p>

<p>I am also applying this year, but I’ve graduated from high school almost 2 years ago.</p>

<p>I think SAT2 is enough to demonstrate your specific academic strengths, so yes doing well in them will boost your chances significant especially when your GPA is bad.</p>

<p>If you think your GPA is a bad representation of your actually abilities, you can always go to CC, do well and transfer to a much better school.</p>
