Hi, I am currently a senior in a Kentucky high school if that matters. I am also Hispanic. I have a 2.4 gpa yes I know it’s not great but got a 26 on my ACT and was wondering what my chances are into these schools: University of South Florida, Arizona State University, Florida State University, Ole Miss, Texas A&M.
I think they are all reaches except USF. It’s tough unless you have an explanation for the low grades or if you had low grades freshman and soph years but improved later. If you have a solid 2.4 all the way through and relatively high ACT scores for your GPA it makes you look a little unmotivated. If any of those schools are big favorites you might consider seeing if any of them have guaranteed admissions deals with community colleges in their state where if you get good grades for 2 years you are guaranteed admissions after that.
Also, all those schools are OOS. Have your parents said they will pay the $40K+/year for each?

Shouldn’t be a problem.
Also I failed to mention my dad lives in Florida so will be paying in-state tuition for Florida schools.
Anyone??
