Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>GPA: 2.4 out of 4.5. I know it SUCKS. had a really difficult time freshman year and beginning of sophomore year but I have an upward trend and I'm learning alot so hope to get straight A's this year. Got A's and B's first quarter.</p>

<p>ACT: I'm not going to stop taking it until I get atleast a 25 or 26. No questions asked</p>

<p>EC'S: Freshman year I wasn't able to do anything since I struggled so much with school work, Sophomore year I did yearbook, MESS Club and JV Track and Field. Junior year I do MESS Club which is a school spirit club planning things such as Pep rally events, fundraisers for athletics, etc. I hope to get a presidential term next year. I also do FBLA and we plan things such as fundraisers at school, athletic events, charities etc. </p>

<p>My school is actually in the top ranking in my state and recieved a grade of 5 out of 5 in education. I want to know if colleges will take that into consideration because it actually is a hard school
I know I can get a letter of rec from my literature teacher, possibly one from my math teacher and, possibly one of the dean of students at my school. Do I have any chances if I get my GPA up more? I'm really serious school is not a joke to me.</p>

<p>Colleges looking into

Iowa State: 81% acceptance rate, no set GPA 20 or higher on ACT

<p>Please don't tell me go to community college. The community colleges in Omaha are not the best and I want a good education. </p>

<p>I think you have a chance at every university up there if you can post a 26+ ACT, write a really great essay, and stack up your EC’s. You could probably even do better than the ones up there.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>On U of Iowa and Iowa State’s websites, you can calculate a score thing (forgot what it’s called- RAI? something like that) to see if you’re an automatic admit.</p>

<p>@MichLover I have looked it up a couple of times but I can’t seem to get a copy of my paperwork to borrow from my guidance counselor. I asked a couple times and she told me it was alright but she always forgets to give it to me or go get it</p>

<p>You know, it makes me so mad that nobody really answers my questions and blows me off because of my GPA. I always get 1 word answers almost every time I try to post here. I struggled frosh year because I have juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. I felt really sorry for myself and I struggled with school work. I stopped my pity act and got my stuff together though. I honestly dont even know if I’ll have the money to pay for college but I want to go and avoid community college because the ones here are academically poor. Please just help me.</p>

<p>I’m not one of the overachievers on here that have 4.5 Gpa’s but I just got a report card back saying I’m doing outstanding work. Just give my post a chance.</p>

<p>^^</p>

<p>Actually I try not to chance too many of those overachievers and chance more “average Joes” whenever possible.</p>

<p>^^ wasnt talking about you, you’re one of the few people who actually give people like me realistic posts. Its the people who look at my gpa and call me lazy on other posts from my old screename</p>
