<p>What if someone had a crap gpa-3.5 or 3.7 weighted with 3.0 3.3 unweighted but got 2400 SATS and 36 ACT</p>
<p>what colleges could the person get to, provided if he had enough extracurruclars and other helpful stuff</p>
<p>He or she could get into any college potentially, given oustanding extracurriculars and a good explanation for the grades. </p>
<p>But the ECs would have to be amazing. I would italicize that if I knew how.</p>
<p>Realistically however, most Top 20 schools would be out of reach.</p>
<p>well…they could get into about 96% of all colleges…</p>
<p>but…as far as the colleges everyone talks about on here, you know…your top 100 or so…i’d still say they have a good chance at like 50 of them…</p>
<p>it really depends on what their GPA means…do they go to a hard school and are in the top 5%-then they could still get in anywhere</p>
<p>are they in the top like 20% and go to an easy school-they’re screwed</p>
<p>What if they took all APs/Honors but got screwed over
And it was a top 50 high school</p>
<p>The more specific you get, the less hypothetical it seems.</p>
<p>What turtle said. you could just ask the question outright. We don’t bite. That is unless you ask for help on your homework, then we attack like a mob of angry /b/tards</p>
<p>This student’s best chance would be at state college where high SATs often can help average GPA’s because they use a formulaic approach. Bottom line is that a GPA is almost always the most important part of the application, a 3.0 in honors/APs says you have a full slate of C’s. That will eliminate anthing approaching a top 50 college.</p>
<p>The best bet may be 2 years at a community college and then transfer to a good school.</p>
