<p>My GPA is dreadful, but if it's any consolation, I go to one of the more prestigeous public schools in the state of Ohio.</p>
<p>Thanks for taking a look!</p>
<p>Hi, I'm in a similiar boat, 2.8 GPA and 1710 SAT. </p>
<p>What I like to do is go to collegeboard's site, <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com%5B/url%5D">http://www.collegeboard.com</a>, and look up a school's statistics. The majority of the schools list the GPA's of incoming freshman. For example, Auburn says:</p>
<p>11% had h.s. GPA between 2.5 and 2.99
2% had h.s. GPA between 2.0 and 2.49</p>
<p>And it also has the median SAT/ACT scores:</p>
<p>SAT Reasoning Verbal: 500 - 600
SAT Reasoning Math: 520 - 620
ACT Composite: 21 - 27</p>
<p>Based on that, I'd say you have a fighting chance at Auburn.</p>
<p>Well, it's good to know there's someone else on here that isn't calling themselves "a slacker" with like a 2400 and 3.9......</p>
<p>It's hard to read some of these southern schools. A lot of them seem obsessed with bringing in in-state students, so that could account for them taking in low GPA students.. for some reason I get the idea they hold out-of-state students to a higher standard.</p>
<p>I always burst out in laughter when I see a thread titled "low SAT :(" and they have a 2300, but anyways...</p>
<p>You could be right about that, but there is no harm in trying, right? </p>
<p>It kind of sucks for people like us with low GPA's. Sophomore year I earned under a 3.0, both semesters and that dropped me down. I have no idea why I got lazy or what the heck happened!</p>
<p>Have you also considered CC? If I don't get a good amount of financial aid at the private schools I'm applying to, I obviosuly won't get merit aid, I might end up going to CC and then try transferring into a UC school.</p>
<p>No, not really. I'm pretty confident I can get into at least OU and IU since practically everyone who applies from my school gets in.. so I'd rather go there if I had to.</p>
<p>At CC, I think I would be less motivated than ever before in my life.</p>
<p>PS. I don't laugh... I sort of get... ****ed off? I get the impression that people who start threads like that are trying to take the "humble route" but really just come off as unbelievably arrogant.</p>
<p>Ole Miss and Alabama accept basically everyone, so you should be fine.</p>
