<p>Well I'm a high school senior who seriously messed up in high school. I want to know if i can get into a college with these grades and scores. I mean a 4 year school, coed, good education with these scores.</p>
<p>GPA- 2.625
SAT Score - 1940
Critical Reading - 620 Math - 760 Writing - 570</p>
<p>I recently took the Math 2 Subject test, but the schools I'm thinking of applying to do not request SAT Subject test scores.</p>
<p>Play Baseball, Swim, Math olympics, political science club, and i might do track this year. Rigorous school.
This is in New Jersey, and I'm poor. (Seriously)
Hispanic, live in a rural area, poor.</p>
<p>Your grades might make it difficult to get into a 4-year university, but I would encourage you to apply to a few schools. Your SAT scores are pretty strong and if you take time to carefully craft an excellent essay and spin your extracurriculars to look good, you might have a chance. </p>
<p>However, I would suggest looking into community college and trying to get into a guaranteed transfer program if there is one offered in your state. In California, the community colleges have a guaranteed transfer program into several 4-year universities. Once you transfer, all of your credits appear as though they were earned at the 4-year university. This option can save you a lot of money AND it can get you to that 4-year you want to attend even if you don’t have the grades to get in right now. Community college is also a good option if you have a great campus in your area. You can live with your parents, pay much much much less for tuition, and earn a degree. And there’s always that option of transferring if you do well. </p>
<p>I hope this gives you some insight into your options.</p>
<p>You can absolutely get into a decent 4 year college. Not the most competitive perhaps, but definitely a legitimate 4 yr school if that’s what you really want. Now, whether or not that’s the best direction for you largely depends on why your GPA is where it is, what classes you have actually taken, and your demonstrated interests. Your qualifications are more than just your GPA. </p>
<p>That said, it may very well be that community college is a good choice depending on what you want to do and what academic skills you want to improve on. If you have your heart set on a 4yr college with competitive admissions, for example, community college will give you the best chance to improve on your weaknesses and qualify for admission.</p>
