<p>GPA: 2.03
SAT's: 1640</p>
<p>Wow.</p>
<p>Your GPA is a 50.75 on a 100 point scale. That is NOT good. Your best bet is to go to Community College. Top tier schools and all are obviously knocked out the list. Your SAT score isn’t even that great, its a little over average.</p>
<p>any chance at st.john’s or pace university in ny?</p>
<p>You live in NYC?</p>
<p>There are a lot of good CC in NYC. BMCC and Berkely to name a few. Because honestly, even CUNY schools may be tough for you to get into…Im not saying don’t try but the GPA is killing you. If you had a 3.5+ GPA, then you could broaden your horizons pass CC/CUNY but having average SATs and a horrible GPA keeps you in a tight hole.</p>
<p>^^Well I live in NJ (right across NYC) and i’m planning to attend a college in NYC. What do you think are my chances for St.John’s? I did some research on collegeboard and my SAT fits, and 12% of the applicants had a gpa between a 2.0-2.4. Do I have a shot or no? I’m also interested in Pace University and CUNY Hunter.</p>
<p>yoitzzjasom, can you describe what you’re interested in? Where you live? What’s your budget for college? CC is a good option, but I don’t think you need to rule out a 4-year school from the get-go. Please share a little more about yourself.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How did you calculate that? To me, 2.03 = C. A “C” is 70+ at most places, higher in some others.</p>
<p>yoitzzjason: CUNY Hunter is EXTREMELY competitive. Not to sound mean but your not going to get into CUNY Hunter with those credentials. Pace you may have a decent shot at, not completely sure, but I met the admissions officer (she taught one of our college classes) and she seems VERY strict and she specifically said “Pace doesn’t admit kids who they think are going to fail” and seeing your 50 GPA, they may assume that your not going to be great for their name. My advice to you: don’t give up but don’t aim to high, as your options are very limited.</p>
<p>DougBetsy: 2.03 * 25 = 50.75. And a 2.03 is a “C.” But liek you said, it depends on the place. Spme actually convert into numbers and others do consider a 2.3 as a “C” So jason, you should certainly research how the college views your grade.</p>
<p>^Alright. I know my options are very limited but I’m thinking of some schools to apply to. Do you know any other diverse, colleges (public or private, doesn’t matter) in the NJ/NY area that might accept me with my GPA and SAT’s? Remember, I’m going to take the SAT’s once more (I’ve been preparing hard in the summer so far) in October. All I have in mind right now are St.John’s and Pace. I need more college suggestions. </p>
<p>And Doug, I am not sure what my budget is. I don’t know my interests yet either. Maybe some sort of engineering? I’m not completely sure yet.</p>
<p>The track changes right now lol. I feel so stupid, a 2.03 GPA is a 75 according to, [GPA</a> Conversion Chart](<a href=“http://inquiry.princetonreview.com/leadgentemplate/GPA_popup.asp]GPA”>Calculate Your GPA With Our GPA Scale | The Princeton Review), lol. So NOW I can give yous ome real advice, I guess multiplying the number 25, isn’t how you do it. Anyway, I suggest you apply to some CUNY schools, and you may indeed have a shot at St Johns, just show interst,w rite great essays (maybe explain why your GPA is a 75) and you can get into a decent school.</p>
<p>Apply to NYU, Columbia, or Cornell</p>
<p>^ </p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>I did not look up the average stats, but you might check out Caldwell College, Fairleigh Dickinson, Long Island University (was CW Post I think).</p>
<p>The princeton review GPA chart is terribly wrong, it is almost funny lol. </p>
<p>I would say that you should try </p>
<p>Reaches: Fordham, St. John’s
High matches: Manhattan College, New School, CUNY, Touro College
Safety: Community College</p>
<p>Make sure you check out Touro, I am sure they would take you, and it is in Manhattan.</p>
<p>I know of someone with a better gpa who was rejected by Touro, but got into Queens College. I don’t know her exact gpa, or SAT scores. I just know that they were not good. That is just one person, which does not mean much.</p>
<p>Nuclear, you can’t be serious. St.John’s can’t be m reach. That’s more like a match.</p>
<p>Your choice - but until you know what turns you on academically I think you might want to do some core classes at a Community College. You can get your GPA up and figure out what you want out of school.</p>
