<p>I'm an upcoming senior (Class of 2014)</p>
<p>And I've been searching for a while for schools that fit me best.
Because of my freshman year, my grades are trash. Here they are (try not to laugh)
Gpa- 2.7 UW 2.85 W
SAT- 1190 (Cr,Math,Writing)
ACT- 16 Composite
Top 50% of my class.
President of my T.V Production club
Currently have a job working 25+ hours a week.
200+ Volunteer hours.
A few letters of recomemdation from Sherrif of my county, and from priceable of my school.</p>
<p>I know it's very difficult to find schools with these grades, but my senior course load will be much harder. I'm expecting my gpa to at least reach a 3.0 unweighted. I plan on taking the SAT and ACT again in October.
Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>Also forgot to mention- </p>
<p>I would like a school that has about 2,500- 15,00 students.
The surrounding area does not matter.
The price does not matter.
Im looking to major in either film, or broadcasting. Anything tv production related.
I do not care where the school is located.
I’m not that into parties.
I prefer a co-Ed college.</p>
<p>Serious question, do you think you’re ready for college? Realistically only 22% of students and 16% of students did worse than you on the ACT and SAT respectively. There are schools that will accept you, particularly if you’re full pay (go here for for a list [Top</a> 100 - Highest Acceptance Rates | Rankings | US News](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/highest-acceptance-rate/spp+50]Top”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/highest-acceptance-rate/spp+50) ) but that doesn’t mean that you have a high probability of graduating in four years. Is there anything wrong with the community college?</p>
<p>Yes I am ready for college. My test scores are bad because of pressure, I can’t think under pressure, I have to fix that. And my gpa is bad because I screwed up my Freshman year. I can only go up from here, and I don’t want to go to a school that will just accept me. I want a school that fits my needs, and has my major, and I can get accepted to. I’m going to retake my tests once, maybe even twice.</p>
<p>If there isn’t any colleges you are specifically interested in… I suggest you look into community colleges, after one year of community college if your grades are superior you can transfer alot easier to schools that you REALLY want to go… BUT if you still want to go despite, if your grades have drastically increased over your high school year and you show desperate need in applying for their college- im going to say that you have your chance:) GOOD LUCK</p>
<p>Might I ask where you are located? Don’t let people get you down, there are plenty of people who pursue college who are in far worse shape than you, but you will have to make some trade-offs…Community College really is a great deal for many, but there are also some 4 year schools who have a more open admission policy as well…Let me know your state and I’ll see what I can find.</p>
<p>I don’t understand why the SAT score is low. Try to get it at least to a 1500. Just get a SAT book from your library and start studying. I can guarantee you that your score will increase by at least 300 points. </p>
<p>Can you post your 10th and 11th grade GPA because there are schools that don’t look at 9th grade…</p>
<p>You should probably go to community college. According to your test scores, you don’t even meet the minimum
eligibility to be college bound. I’m not saying that you couldn’t get into a college, but you will more than likely struggle. I know your freshman year was bad, but did you terrible during the years after? Do you have like a learning disability or what?</p>
<p>Well if you’re sure you want to go to a four year college here are some suggestions:
-Evergreen State (follows a very unique curriculum, some like it, some don’t)
-Columbia College Chicago
-Point Park University (get your ACT up to an 18 and you’re in)
-Suffolk University (maybe)
-Pace University
-Southern Oregon University
-University of Montana (if you meet these [requirements[/url</a>], you’re in)
-If you’re willing to consider a huge school, Arizona State assuming you meet the admissions requirements (<a href=“https://students.asu.edu/freshman/requirements[/url]”>https://students.asu.edu/freshman/requirements](<a href=“http://admissions.umt.edu/apply]requirements[/url”>Apply)</a> )
-Indiana State University
-Curry College
-Old Dominion University</p>
<p>Honestly, just go to community college for the first year or two and then transfer to another school when your grades are up. You won’t have as much debt, and you’ll get your gen eds out of the way. Good lick</p>
<p>I live in Florida. Thanks for all the replies guys.</p>
<p>I also think a community college would be the best way to start out. If you are looking for Broadcast Journalism programs at schools with lower selectivity, two options would be Western Kentucky University and Kansas State.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
