<p>What is a 1.8 GPA?</p>

<p>A 1.8 is like a D+/C-. That's not good. In order to get into any 'good' college you basically need a 2.0, so it's not looking great. That said, you can probably go somewhere lackluster in state and then transfer.</p>

<p>Maybe try going to a community college?</p>

<p>VCU, WVU and Christopher Newport all have excellent music programs. CNU has the Fergusen Center which is a awesome new concert arena. </p>

<p>Also, Radford would be another school to check out. Getting your GPA up as well as doing well on the SAT/ACT would certainly help you chances.</p>
