<p>I really need some help.. Ive messed up so bad here. My cumulative gpa, (freshman, sophomore, and junior) is a 2.21. I am at the bottom 50% of my school. MySAT score is a 1950. Can I get into any decent schools?? (No ccs please) I am from California, I am Indian (If that helps my chances at all) and I have 150 volunteer hours at a hospital, plus academic decathlon for a year. My essays are decent, not bad at all. Can I get into any of these schools:
-Baylor
-Texas a&m
-University of Arizona
-Arizona state (I think I can, but Id rather not go here)
-Indiana University Bloomington
-Syracuse
-Florida Sate
-Clemson
-Texas Christian
-Umass Amherst
-University of Oregon
If I cant get into any of these schools, or if you have any, PLEASE leave sugestions for other good schools I may be able to get into. Thanks :)</p>
<p>Maybe if you work really hard senior year you can boost that GPA up to at least a 2.5-3.0. That should help you a lot.</p>
<p>Syracuse-match (a lot of students from my hs got accepted there with similar grades and lower SAT scores)</p>
<p>UMass Amherst- probably a bit of a stretch because of the gpa</p>
<p>University of Arizona- Stretch again because of GPA</p>
<p>These are the only schools that I’m pretty sure I can rate for you. I’m from NY so I’m unfamiliar with the stats of most of these. Good luck though, and don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get into your dream school.</p>
<p>@zombiologist are your serious about Syracuse? Most people from my school in Cali don’t even make it with a 3.2</p>
<p>GPA isn’t the deciding factor, though it is quite important. Being Indian doesn’t really help your chances, because chances are that there are a lot of Indian students already.
Like Zombiologist said, work on your GPA. And take the SAT again, because 1900 is average.
Basically, the college should be able to see at least one amazing thing in your r</p>
<p>Here’s the thing about Syracuse, RIT, Univeristy of Rochester, RPI, etc. If you’re from New York, these schools are a lot easier to get into, even though they’re not state schools, they kind of act like it. Also, if you’re a girl, depending on the major you want to go into, that could help. I’m calling Syracuse a reach here, the rest of the schools I know very little about. Try the site Parchment.com</p>
<p>Its a bit of stretch with Syracuse and other schools with your GPA. don’t stress yourself over it. I feel like you have bit of chance with all school. GPA is not everything but it is VERY IMPORTANT. SAT’s is great. Just have fun with your applications. TRY HARD ON YOUR ESSAYS. Try to focus a lot on your grades this year. if colleges seeing you progressing that’s awesome! Volunteer work is nice. </p>
<p>A great suggestion is community college. Many smart people go there. I don’t know If I should or not but it benefits a lot on the money and you will have a chance to raise your GPA and you can transfer. I feel like its great!</p>
