<p>I got have a low gpa unweighted (2.9) because I wasnt focused enough. I took a ton of honors classes, but only one AP this year (stats). I did fairly well on the sat 2000. I help out at my church a lot and I am active in the confirmation program. Im also 4 year varsity golf and captain since junior year. Im hispanic also if that makes any difference. Im from LA and I really want to go to a good school, but I know im a longshot even at a decent one. What should I do? Also im taking the sat again in october, but i dont think im going to do much better especially since I havnt been studying for it. </p>

<p>My dream schools are pepperdine, wake forest, and the University of Miami. </p>

<p>Other schools are Loyola Marymount University, Santa Clara, University of San Francisco, Marquette</p>

<p>To be honest I know I would be happy at any of these places. I have moved around a lot in my life and know how to adjust. Do you think its realistic I would be accepted at any of these? Should I even apply to college?</p>

<p>Absolutely,</p>

<p>I think you should apply! Not sure which schools you should apply to but it seems like you are down on yourself. Would you like to expound on why you have the 2.9 GPA? Why weren’t you focused? Is it because of your constant moving? Which I am sure if a big distraction to a young mind… Not sure what others think… but your SAT score is very good for not studying… I wonder if others think you even need a retake… Good luck to you! Keep your head up… there is a school/schools out there for you!</p>
