<p>Your ACT/race/EC's are all positive .. but your GPA could be your "academic demise" .. I predict you'll get into at least 1/3 of those schools.</p>

<p>To tell you the truth man you don't see a lot of people in your situation.
2.8/34 is weird but
George Washington University slight reach/reach
University of Illinois slight reach/match
Madison University slight match</p>

<p>yeah i realise that 2.8/34 is weird. Thats sort of actually why i am using this forum. Because there really arent schools where i fit in the average gpa/class rank and average ACT so i dont know wether these schools are reasonable or what i should be looking at.</p>
