Applying to College

<p>yes, i was lazy. and i am junior, and am going to try and WILL get straight a's for the rest of highschool, but here is my current GPA. yes, its terrible. </p>

<p>2.5</p>

<p>and my SATS
2010 (I don't remember the exact score for each, i am on the road and my records are at home)</p>

<p>and my ACTs </p>

<p>32</p>

<p>all my standardized tests (for the state) have been in the 99th percentile.... but my GPA sucks because i have been lazy as all hell. </p>

<p>is there any school that would accept me? </p>

<p>or am i cursed to going to community college and then transferring out when i get good enough grades?</p>

<p>(and the grammar in this post is terrible because i have yet to sleep in 47 hours. I have been writing an essay)</p>

<p>Well, if there's a logical excuse, I suppose you could TRY to tell them about it in your essay...or if you have a convincing extracurricular.</p>

<p>I think going to a community college and then transferring out is the same thing; it's cheaper too.</p>

4

<p>either that or there are state schools who might accept you if your other stuff is really good.</p>

5

<p>all i can say is that you should write a hell of an essay and make sure one of your recs say that you are hardworking.</p>

6

<p>oh, i am RELYING on my second run of SAT scores, and SAT II, and then my Essay. I am depending on them.</p>

7

<p>OH WAIT! CORRECTION!</p>

<p>My unweighted gpa is ACTUALLY 3.0 ish.....</p>

<p>still ****. but... slightly better than a 2.5</p>

8

<p>.... There is a complete difference between a 3.0 and a 2.5 GPA. You can definitely get into SOME college with a 3.0. A 2.5 means you barely tried and got mostly C's.</p>

9

<p>You can probably get into your state flagship with those scores, unless your state is California, Virginia, or Michigan. Your GPA isn't horrendous or anything. It's a B average, which is okay.</p>

<p>A rising trend looks good so I think you're on the right track by focusing on your junior year grades.</p>

<p>i got into BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY EARLY DECISION!</p>
