Hey guys, so I’m currently a junior in high school and I’ve been thinking about college for awhile now. ECU is definantly one of my top choices but I’m rather worried about my chances.

I did pretty bad freshman year and dug a deep hole for myself, finished it off with a 2.4 uw GPA and 2.6 w GPA horrible I know. However I managed to turn things around and currently have a uw of 2.75 and a w of 3.125. Recieved A’s and B’s and one C, one of the A’s was in my first AP Class.

I should finish off this year with a uw GPA of 3 and a w GPA of 3.6. I’ve been studying really hard for the SAT as well and will be taking that soon.

Do I even have a chance? I was hoping that the improvement would help my chance of getting in but idk I’m just really worried.

Hi! I think if you really work hard you will. From what I’ve heard from multiple people, ecu will most likely take anything above a 3.3 w. I got a 19 act score and 1370 sat score. Remember, ecu cares most about gpa. I would recommend doing the optional essays if you feel your numbers aren’t that great and really tell them how much you want to be apart of ECU.

Hope that helps!

I agree that if you continue to work hard you should be fine. ECU likes to see improvement in students that started out “weak” in HS. Historically, they have been known to give students a chance to get into college and prove themselves, and your improvement in HS does show that you are motivated. Keep studying for those SATs!
