Just started my junior year with a little bit below a 3.0 GPA and I'm going crazy.

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I have been thinking of colleges for the last month or so and finally decided to post on here to get some opinion. I want to get into a public 4 year college in Virginia. My GPA is just under a 3.0. I know that if i don't get into college that there is always community college transfer but lets just say that is not an option. This maybe an awkward request but can someone make me a list of things to do that will insure that i get into college. I know its a lot to ask from someone over the internet but please i really need help.</p>

<p>Extra activities so far..
Future Business Leaders of America
Key Club
2 Years Lacrosse (Going to play for 2 more years)
Debate
Thinking of starting MUN and possibly joining Academic team</p>

<p>Interested in: VCU, GMU, UVA, William and Mary, ODU, Roanoke, Vtech
I know a couple of those are impossible.</p>

<p>Also on collegeboard some of these have 1% acceptance rates of gpas of 2.5-3.0 just wondering other than sport scholarships how is that possible?</p>

<p>PLEASE AND THANK YOU!</p>

<p>ODU you are most likely in with an SAT in their range, trust me they take plenty of people below 3.0</p>

<p>VCU and GMU are prob your targets, if you can put a little bit more effort your junior year and push above a 3.0 you will prob get those 2. </p>

<p>Tech is a tricky, they like numbers. If your at like a 2k+ SAT they might consider taking you, otherwise I doubt it. </p>

<p>UVA and W&M, very little chance there unless you somehow pull out with a 3.5 after junior year and have 2k+ sats</p>

<p>idk much about roanoke, they might take you may not judging by their profile. Might also want to look at Radford University</p>

<p>Thank you guys for replying it means a lot. I mostly want to get into JMU or VCU. Brother goes to UVA so my parents would kill me if i ended up in NOVA. You think with a 3.0 and a lot of clubs/sports i would get in to either JMU or VCU? Also what universities in VA would you recommend if someone plans on becoming a lawyer?</p>
