<p>Hey I am a Junior in HS and I live in NC. I am looking for a college that I could possibly attend. I have a 2.1 G.P.A and probably can get it to a 2.5 by the time I graduate. I'm actually really smart but I just don't apply myself that much. I haven't taken my SAT yet but I imagine it will be slightly above average because I am a good test taker and I am really good at math. I want to do something in law, such as FBI or something like that. Not really a cop because they pay bad and it's boring. I have the option of going to a comunity college and if I mantain a 3.0 GPA I can transfer into NCST, but I want to know my other options. I like to party also so I dont want a boring school. Please don't be ig'nant.</p>
<p>Since colleges typically admit from your GPA from grades 9-11, your current GPA is what counts - not your future GPA.</p>
<p>If you want to do well in college, then you’re going to HAVE to apply yourself. </p>
<p>I don’t know of any schools that accept with a 2.1. Perhaps a directional state school or a small private that admits all students. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>LOL at mom2collegekids. Plenty of schools accept students with a 2.1. Don’t listen to the Alabama advertiser above, she doesn’t know anything about any school besides the one she likes to advertise in every post. You’ll be fine, just apply yourself and take a look at local schools. I wish I could help more but I’m not familiar with schools in NC.</p>
<p>^^^^</p>
<p>LOL That is so wrong. I know about many colleges from all over this country. I’m from California and went to a UC. I have nearly 50 nieces and nephews and many of them are either in college or have recently gone thru college all over this country. </p>
<p>I suggested regional/directional colleges or small privates with high admit rates because those are the schools that would be more likely to accept a student with a 2.1 GPA.</p>
<p>I notice that you didn’t suggest any particular schools, but just said that the OP “would be fine” LOL You said to look at local schools. WELL, that’s what I suggested - regional/directional schools. :)</p>
<p>Wow I might as well just not try now??</p>
<p>BTW ma’am you was so ig’nant</p>
<p>With a decent SAT score, you might be able to get into one of the UNC branches (Greensboro and Wilmington are the ones I’m thinking of). However, I don’t know the exact stats of people who have gone to these schools. Personally, I think it would be wise to go to community college for a year or two and get your GPA up, at least in the 3.0 range. That’ll increase your odds of getting into a decent school.</p>
<p>Of course, like mom2collegekids said, there are also some smaller privates that tend to accept the majority of their applicants, but being from NC myself, I’ve seen many more people who’ve had pleasant experiences at ancillary UNCs. These schools tend to have more resources (like networking from a larger alumni base and larger course offerings).</p>
<p>mom2kids- you also said you don’t know of any college that accepts with a 2.1 and that he should apply to a school that accepts everyone. dont try to cover it up</p>
<p>*Of course, like mom2collegekids said, there are also some smaller privates that tend to accept the majority of their applicants, but being from NC myself, I’ve seen many more people who’ve had pleasant experiences at ancillary UNCs. *</p>
<p>Yes, ancillary (aka regional/directional) schools are a possibility.</p>
<p>I don’t know the NAMES of any particular schools that accept a 2.1 GPA, that’s why I suggested regional/direction state schools as possible schools, etc.</p>
<p>However, if the OP doesn’t agree, then he should apply to wherever he likes and hope for good news. :)</p>
<p>I think I’m gonna go WVU once i get my gpa up</p>
<p>You could try UNC-Pembroke. Don’t think there’s much of a chance at any other UNC schools. Possibly Chowan University, I know someone who goes there that likes it a lot.</p>
<p>*I think I’m gonna go WVU once i get my gpa up *</p>
<p>Since you’re a NC resident, would you have to pay OOS tuition? IF so, that could be kind of pricey. The Cost of Attendance for an OOS student at WVU is about $27,000.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That sounds like a really good plan for what you’re seeking. You’d probably find the social environment at State more to your liking than at an open admissions private college.</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>I don’t think the OP wants to go to a CC for his first two years. </p>
<p>He says… “I like to party also so I dont want a boring school.”</p>
<p>community colleges tend to be boring socially.</p>
<p>If the OP can afford it, I think he should find a private residential college.</p>
