Hey guys, do you think I should apply to these colleges or keep my money?

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm thinking of applying to George Mason University and Virginia Commonwealth University. </p>

<p>My "statistics":</p>

<p>GPA: 2.79.....Freshman- 2.2, Sophomore- 2.8, Junior- 3.4, Senior- 4.0, but do colleges consider senior year?...I asked my counselor and he said "No, colleges only look at freshman to junior year." :(</p>

<p>SAT Reasoning Test: 1760...Reading- 560, Math- 620, Writing- 580. </p>

<p>Extra Curricular Activities: Track, DECA, FBLA, Spanish Honor Society. I also did some volunteer work for a charity group.</p>

<p>Awards/Certificates: Honor Roll(A's and B's) lol, and IB certificate.</p>

<p>Are there any other colleges that you guys think would accept students like myself?</p>

<p>Yes, definitely. Get the book “Colleges that Change Lives.” Lots of schools will discount or ignore a bad freshman year, as long as you have an upward trend and can explain what went wrong and then how you got it together. Worst case scenario - a gap year so that your senior year grades are included in the GPA calculation.</p>
