sorry but with a sub 3 gpa, you wont have a shot at many colleges, especially a good one like purdue. I would look into some community colleges. good luck!

I would say reach for you. Your SAT is above average and your ECs are nice but your gpa will hurt you (your situation is almost the same as mine, I have a 2.95 w and a 1990 SAT). An upward trend in your gpa is good and should help. If you can explain why your gpa is lower than average in your essay in can only help your chances. I wish you the best of luck!
