<p>bump…</p>

3

<p>Reason for GPA?</p>

4

<p>wait, being in the inner-city is an EC? :P</p>

5

<p>reason for the gpa is i kinda screwed around the first 2 years, and im doin pretty bad my junior. its not for a lack of talent, i dont want to sound conceited but im pretty smart, i just dont really try im super lazy.</p>

<p>and no wat i meant was i volunteered in the inner-city with underpriveliged youths</p>

6

<p>wait, being in the inner-city is an EC? :stuck_out_tongue: ---- haha</p>

<p>i think u need higher gpa for northeastern</p>

7

<p>how high do u think i wud need to raise it? is it realistic to raise your GPA from 2.8 to say a 3.2 in just a semester?</p>

8

<p>not in at majority of schools on list.</p>

9

<p>Retake the SAT, take some SATIIs. Bring that GPA up to a 3.1 or 3.2 and you should have a chance at 3, maybe 4 colleges on the list.</p>

10

<p>is a 2.8 like a 83 out of 100? idk probably in at a few</p>

11

<p>so even if i raise my SAT score and Gpa getting into a majority of those schools is a pipe dream?</p>

12

<p>no definately not</p>

13

<p>if you don’t get into the school u want…u can always try a community college and then transfer over… You just gotta work hard in CC</p>
