I went to elementary school ~ high school in South Korea.
A big activity I did is developing a web service from scratch for my high school.
I wish to major in Computer Science.
I would be really grateful to any recommendations of where I should apply.
Start at a community college. That way you can raise your GPA and go to a college you want to attend.
^^I agree, because as of now your GPA is very low so I would go to community college, so you can have a few more years to work on it. Computer science is math and science based so with low grades in math and a GPA like that, it will be difficult to be taken seriously by schools. Hope everything works out at the end for you.
What did a 2.2 mean at your school in S Korea? Were you in the top half of your class?
Don’t calculate your GPA.
Your Korean GPA may have nothing to do with a 2.2 in the US.
For example, a 70% is excellent in France, pretty good in Italy, and really mediocre in the US. NUmbers have a cultural meaning.
Are you an American citizen? have you attended a US-style high school?
Did you do your GPA right?
Yeah…I’m sorry to say but that low of a GPA the only thing you can do is what #1 and #2 are saying, attend a community college for a few years so you can raise your GPA higher to get into a decent college. Good luck! :-h
Do you go to a regular public school in Korea? (I’m also a high school student in Korea)
