Can I get into these colleges with a 2.5 GPA?

<p>I am in-state Texas. I live in Germany (parents work for the army)
My GPA is 2.5 (very poor my freshman and sophomore years) Junior year got my act together
I am taking the SAT in October
I would like to go to college for Sports Management
I have taken 3 APs and 2 Honors courses.
I am in several clubs such as MUN, Marine Biology.
I am 4 year varsity soccer player
2 year varsity football kicker
I play German club soccer as well.
I assistant coach youth kids
I am also a referee.
I have over 50 volunteer hours.
Anything I can do to better my chances? So far senior year I have a 3.8 GPA.
I am applying to UT Austin, Texas A&M, and Texas State.</p>

<p>Quite frankly, no probably not. Those are pretty competitive schools and want at least over a 3.0. </p>

<p>The best thing you can do at this point is to take a year or two off, go to community college and get excellent grades. Then you can transfer. It’s a much cheaper option as well.</p>

<p>I want to avoid community college because I need to play soccer. My other option is WVU but I would be paying around 22 thousand a year maybe a little less like 18 thousand. My parents know I need to play soccer so although I don’t want to break their bank that school is an option</p>

<p>Are you registered with NCAA?
A good possibility for you would be NAIA - the schools are less competitive to get into but you could still play.
