<p>Hey my GPA is a 2.49 and i have a 1850 SATs </p>
<p>I live in the NY state area, so where should I apply to?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>Apply to all the SUNYs; Elizabethtown; Lycoming; St Josephs; Susquehanna; Manhattanville</p>
<p>Is that your weighted GPA? Your SAT is much better than your GPA. </p>
<p>Does anyone know if any of the SUNY’s expect a 3.0 or higher GPA?</p>
<p>BTW…if you’ll be needing Financial Aid, do you know if you’ll qualify?</p>
<p>Oh thanks a lot! do you guys have any ideas of what colleges near the tri-state area? (Philly, NJ, Mass.) </p>
<p>And mom2collegekids: Unfortunately, i’m in a really messed up yet competitive high school that has recently recovered from a corrupt administration. The teachers have a totalitarian rule over the kids. Good thing we had excellent student teachers at my junior year. </p>
<p>And 2.49 is my unweighted average. I believe my weighted average is an 81(2.6?)
Most of the large public SUNYs’ average(I just checked) are 85 or above. But there were quite a few below that range that have been accepted the past 4 years in my school.
And i believe for the FAFSA or any other financial programs, there’s a set guideline that determines how much you get. I believe everyone gets financial aid if parents’ annual income is less than 70,000. People from lower incomes just gets more.</p>
<p>“I believe everyone gets financial aid if parents’ annual income is less than 70,000. People from lower incomes just gets more.”</p>
<p>That’s us, but I can assure you that doesn’t necessarily mean you will get <em>enough</em> aid.</p>
<p>Eldest son was accepted to RPI, but they expected us to come up with $27 grand a year. Not in this lifetime…</p>
<p>What do you want to major in? If you are in the tristate area, you should check out the CUNY’s.</p>
<p>haha yes i forgot to add in “some” before financial aid.</p>
<p>I’m somewhere between business economics and sociology/psychology.</p>
