<p>Yeah a GPA around 3.1 like you have is probably similar to a 3.7 where I go. That’s why I said I couldn’t be completely sure about it. Why can’t every school just do GPA the same?! >_< Annoying… But yeah I wouldn’t give up hope! And if you are going into Communications then I would definitely go with Boston U or Syracuse if you can get in. As for business, Penn State and Pitt are both great. I’d argue that Penn State is better but it really depends on which major specifically. Good luck with your apps. I wish I could be a better help for you.</p>
