<p>So I really screwed up here
I just finished my junior year. My cumulative GPA is a 2.21…
I don’t remember exactly what my freshman Gpa was, but my sophomore GPA was a 2.6, and my junior year gpa was a 2.1…
My sat score however was a 1970…</p>

<p>I am a minority (India , my parents were born in India, I was born here) I volunteered at a hospital for about 150 hours. I have no other ecs, my essays arent exactly anything To write home about…
I’m realty nervous. Where can I go? My top choices were
University of Arizona
University of Washington
Umass Amherst
Indiana university at Bloomington
Baylor university
Texas a&m
Penn state main campus
Syracuse
Florida state
Please help,and any college suggestions would be great!</p>

<p>You could get you into U of A with your GPA. Your SAT would have to be extraordinary, such as a 2100, to outweigh your GPA for many schools.</p>

<p>Try to make a new list of good schools with broader admissions requirements. For example, U of Oregon, CU-Boulder, Arizona State, some Cal State schools, such as San Diego State. Look at US News lists for “A+ Schools for B-Students” which may fit with your high SAT.</p>

<p>Look into community colleges where you could raise your credentials and apply after 1 or 2 years. Many have transfer articulation agreements to certain 4 year schools if you maintain a minimum GPA. Many 2 years are located in college towns of 4 years you mention with these agreements and share college life. Some include Tallahassee CC for FSU, Pima CC for U of A, and Santa Barbara CC for UC-Santa Barbara.</p>

<p>Look at your options so you don’t end up somewhere you will not like and make sure your choices offer what you want academically, socially, etc.</p>

Calculate your FSU GPA, as that is the only one that matters. Your unweighted and your weighted GPA do not matter, since FSU recalculates. You’re otherwise fine but this is something that it seems every “chance me” thread needs to work on.</p>

<p>@pasbal how do you calculate an fsu gpa (sorry im out of the loop lol)</p>

<p>Not that it really matters for you (assuming no Ds on your transcripts, you’ll more than likely- 90-95% I’d say- be fine) but you can use this worksheet:
<a href=“http://cyberguidance.net/college/recalgpa.pdf[/url]”>http://cyberguidance.net/college/recalgpa.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>But with 11 APs on your profile, a very good FSU GPA no matter what, and good SAT scores, assuming you didn’t get Ds in any courses you’re good.</p>

<p>@pasbal the lowest grade i have gotten was a C+ first semester in AP World History :)</p>

<p>You’ll be good. </p>

<p>I’m not 100% confident on you getting into the Honors program (they seem to want somewhere around 2070 SAT) but if you weren’t accepted, I’d be surprised if you petitioned for acceptance and weren’t accepted then (I know you didn’t really ask about Honors… it’s something else to think about though). </p>

<p>Have you taken the ACT? If not, you might want to look into doing so. Since you’re looking to go into Biology for a major, I think the Science section on the ACT may be beneficial to you… your ACT score might be better than your SAT score if you are more science-oriented. :)</p>
