<p>What is interesting is that you scored very well on the ACT but have very low grades :(. I dont know if this has something to do with your high school…is it like the nations hardest? or just regular? Anyway, this tells (at least to me) that you are very smart but dont “apply” yourself in the classroom. From this I’d say that both syracuse and main are reaches, you can probably get into Springfield.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response.
Yeah, you pretty much have it right. I just didn’t care about schoolwork my first two years 'cause it didn’t have much immediate affect on me. I wish I had considered the implications for college earlier -_-.</p>

<p>may be a bit hard, your gpa will hurt :(. Anyway, good luck :)</p>

<p>you might come across as lazy with that kind of GPA/ACT score… I don’t think colleges will like it much, but I don’t know how hard Illinois is to get into.</p>

<p>You will not be able to get into UofI with a 2.6 GPA. Sorry, but it’s the truth. Good luck elsewhere.</p>

<p>i’d say it would be tough with that gpa unless you could still raise it</p>
