Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>hello everyone!</p>

<p>wanna say thanks in advance for any responses! this is my situation
I pretty much failed out of a university after attending for 3-4 semesters and ended with a GPA of 1.22
i took a year off (kinda had no choice lol) then went back to a community college that just recently consolidated with another university in attempts to raise my GPA.
right now i have a 3.6 GPA at this institution but my cumulative GPA is a very low 2.8.</p>

<p>I spoke with several deans of admissions and admissions reps of these schools.</p>

<p>University of Virginia
University of Wisconsin
University of Michigan
University of Georgia
University of North Carolina</p>

<p>Now i know that these are some of the top public schools around, but i would hate to settle for anything less unless i had no choice but to.
and though applicants of these schools have average GPAs of somewhere around 3.5, most of these universities have no minimum GPA requirement.</p>

<p>one of the university representatives whom i spoke with told me that an increase in progress and course difficulty would give me a chance to be accepted. She told me that they look at ALL applications.</p>

<p>although this gave me hope i would like a more realistic opinion from a third party.
i would GREATLY appreciate any opinions, advice, and questions!
thanks~</p>

<p>Admission counselors are going to say a whole bunch of encouraging words to everyone given that the school’s ranking is partly determined by how many people the school rejects. UWI, UVA, and U of M are going to be high reaches, and it might just be a waste of time to apply. The other schools are possibilities, but you do probably need to apply to a safety.</p>

<p>admissions counselors always say that stuff so of those schools are 3.5 and higher easily. I think you have a chance at other schools but even your new GPA is not that great at all. It is average, but it is worth a shot you never know.</p>

<p>thanks for the responses! and yeah I will definitely be looking into other safety schools, though the institution I am attending now is not a bad one. Do you guys think me maintaining a 4.0 for my past 3 semesters + a summer all the while managing a small business would increase my chances at all?</p>
