<p>I got to school in NJ. The basic rundown for me is this. I have a 3.556 GPA, I took three honors classes my junior year (Spanish, English, US History) and I'm taking two honors classes this (senior) year. My GPAs from the last three years is a 3.2 my freshman year, a 3.5 my sophomore year, and a 3.8 junior year. I was never big on extracurricular activities/school sports, something I'm coming to heavily regret now since this seems pretty crucial to colleges and seems like a big factor in getting acceptances. I took one SAT so far and I'm less than proud for my score. I got a 1560. I'm taking it again this Saturday and the one in November, with no big hopes of getting much better since I don't know how to review for that test, especially the math section which stumps me even though I'm not that bad at math. I've taken some classes and have the huge Barron's book and I don't know where to even start to get to a point where I'll get close to an 1800. </p>
<p>Bump. I need to figure out what weak spots I can focus on and strengthen them. Some input would be great. </p>
<p>The simple answer to your Heading is “yes, of course you can get into a four-year college.” You should be putting together a list that is realistic based on your existing scores, however. Can your family pay for a private or out-of-state college? If not, you still have a shot at Rutgers, although your tests are low for New Brunswick. I think you could probably get into Rowan or Montclair State, with TCNJ more of a reach. If you can go further afield, let us know. Rider is also possible. Your options will obvious increase with your family’s ability to pay. There are many test-optional schools you could get into.</p>
<p>This seems like rather dismal thread title. I was expecting you to have a 1.8 GPA on a downward slope. Your stats are fine. You’re not going to get into Harvard or MIT, but there are a ton of 4 year universities that you could be accepted to. </p>
