Good Schools that can look past low GPA

<p>^I’m sorry if I’m coming off as stupid but that’s why I’m here, I don’t know the college admissions game well at all.</p>

<p>I understand there’s hundreds of schools I could get into, what I was really looking for was school’s that historically have been known to look past a lower GPA if the rest of the application is good that are still very good schools (like I’m pretty sure Syracuse is like this.)</p>

<p>To help you understand where I’m coming from I’ll list some schools that I’ve been looking at that I know I’m not good enough for grades-wise but I’m curious if I’d still have a chance: BU, Temple, Maryland, Indiana, Michigan State.</p>

<p>Are those schools that have been known to look past a lower GPA? Do you have any recommendations for schools with a good reputation that are well-known that do look past a low GPA?</p>
