<p>Can anyone chance me for some of these private/lac colleges? I don't think I'm the exceptional student and my chances are slim but I'd like a confirmation from others to decide what the rest of my course of study would be until transfering.
If there is anything you can rec. to improve my chances please do advise! dont be shy!</p>

<p>SAT? HS GPA? Your CC GPA is kinda low</p>

3

<p>AHH! I dont have SAT’s and some schools dont require it particularly. My high school gpa sucked average was probably around 3.0. My gpa is low I know :/</p>

4

<p>Even though colleges dont require it, you should still take the SAT and/or ACT</p>

<p>I agree with SeattleBulldog that you should retake your SAT/ACT. In terms of difficulty I found that the two standardized tests were similar, except the ACT was much easier to study for and improve on! I’m also a first generation college student, but to be honest, I don’t think it’s so much a deciding factor. It doesn’t count as much as being a legacy or an underrepresented minority. Claremont, Pomona, and Columbia are all going to be real reaches with your GPA.
