<p>I slacked too much on my grades and now i'm paying the price. I'm just looking for a few ideas on schools that will accept a 2.0</p>
<p>Anyone?</p>
<p>Thanks, Tyler</p>
<p>I’d suggest if you are now serious about your education, go to community college and max your grades to improve the quality of the univerity you can transfer to.</p>
<p>If you have an absolute need to get away to a 4-year college, there are plenty of schools that are open admission. A quick search on collegeboard comes up with 281 that are open admission for anyone with a high school diploma. Many are art schools, many are overtly religious. You need to winnow down your needs by location and what you want to study.</p>
<p>Do well on your SATs and you can get into a state university easily</p>
<p>Go to a community college, do your BEST and you’ll have a good chance at a transfer</p>

<p>Is money an issue?</p>
<p>I don’t want to go to a comm. college at all, I did terrible my first 3 years in HS but got b’s steady senior year. </p>
<p>Also i got a 1530 on my SAT’s </p>
<p>Anymore help?</p>
<p>Money isn’t the biggest prob. I’d rather take out a large loan and get my education than sit and do nothing…</p>
<p>There are definitely many four years that would accept you. If you go on college board and do a college search you can select four year and they also allow you to select things like 75% acceptance rate, 100% acceptance rate, etc.</p>
<p>Don’t rule out community college, though.</p>
<p>You sound very similar to my son - GPA a bit higher but SAT a bit lower. He focused on local commuter (but large univ) college, mid-level state univs (in and out-of-state) and some smaller private schools. Applied to 10, accepted to 9. However, he did put aps in during Christmas break for almost all of them and had friends with better stats that applied late spring and did not get into the school he now goes to.</p>
<p>He is a smart kid, just doesn’t apply himself. He ended up at a mid-level state school, living on campus and he REALLY struggled first semester! He wasn’t used to putting in the effort and balancing social and school “obligations”. </p>
<p>If we had it do over again, I would have suggested he take a year off and work (for the motivation to get a degree) or spend a couple years at a campus-type community college living on campus (there are a few of these in the South-GA/LA/MS/FL, not sure about elsewhere).</p>
<p>What is your location preference? What do you want to study?</p>
<p>If you can’t answer these questions, go to CC til you figure it out.</p>
<p>Students can’t take out large loans. The most you can borrow for freshman year is $5500. To borrow more, you’d need co-signers. Very few parents will co-signs loans for $100k+ for their kids to go to college. Few parents can qualify to do so, too.</p>
<p>My intended major is Education, Which I know considering my GPA sounds weird but thats what i’ve wanted to be for a while now, The location of the school isn’t that important i’m just looking for ideas.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone, im still open for more</p>

<p>UNLV has education & if you don’t have a 3.0 GPA, you can get in if you have a 1040 in Critical Reading & Math, combined. Check out their website. </p>
<p>I think the city of Las Vegas gets a bad rap sometimes, there is a lot more there than just the casinos & the hotels.</p>

<p>But…money will be a big problem. Students can’t take out large loans.</p>
<p>I dunno what you’re intending on doing for your career, but you can get basically anywhere starting off in a CC and transferring to a 4-year later (then grad school or whatnot).</p>
<p>There are colleges for you, but to find an inexpensive four-year college, it would help to know what state you are in. Your best bet is to find a place where you can get in-state tuition.</p>
<p>Frankly, with a 2.0 from HS you would be best off at a CC. Prove yourself there and then transfer to a more demanding school.</p>
