Is Community College my Only Option?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey everyone, I'm very worried about whether or not I can get into the colleges I've applied to.</p>

<p>26 ACT, did not do the SAT.</p>

<p>32 English, 25 math, 25 science, 23 reading</p>

<p>I have some volunteer work and career oriented volunteering on my application.
I feel like my essays are very well written.</p>

<p>Now here comes the impressive part... 2.78 GPA unweighted out of 4.0.</p>

<p>I know that my GPA effects the types of colleges I can go to, so I used the "what are my chances" calculator and found that I might be able to get into the following colleges (I've applied to all of them):</p>

<p>-University of Illinois at Chicago
-Ohio State University
-Bradley University
-Miami University (Oxford, OH)
-Valparaiso University (IN)
-University of Illinois at Urbana-champaign</p>

<p>So, what do you think? Is there still a glimmer of hope?
Are there any colleges that I would have a good chance to get into in the Illinois/Ohio/Indiana/Michigan area?</p>

<p>Try applying to your state university. Ohio State, and Illinois main campus are reaches for sure if out of state. Don’t know about others. There’s always an alternative to community college but you should consider if it’s worth going to, especially the private ones that are big bucks.</p>

<p>UIUC: Reach
UIC: Match
Bradley: Match
OSU: Reach
Valparaiso: Low match
Miami-OH: Match</p>

<p>So there’s still hope.</p>

<p>Worrying doesn’t help. Be sure to check the parents 3.0 thread if you are still looking for ideas.</p>
