I would say that your GPA is too low. Have you visited or talked with your regional admissions counselor? Thats where I would start if you really want COC. Make sure they know the person behind the app. Good Luck

Congratulations on your acceptances to Albion and Concordia.

I do think your stats may be a bit low for Charleston, though your explanation may provide the school with mitigating information.

If you do not receive good news from Charleston, Albion is a very good LAC. Have you visited? Is it affordable for you? I am not familiar with Concordia. Is this the one in Moorehead, Mn?

Good luck.
