<p>I really need some help.. Ive messed up so bad here. My cumulative gpa, (freshman, sophomore, and junior) is a 2.21. I am at the bottom 50% of my school. MySAT score is a 1950. Can I get into any decent schools?? (No ccs please) I am from California, I am Indian (If that helps my chances at all) and I have 150 volunteer hours at a hospital, plus academic decathlon for a year. My essays are decent, not bad at all. Can I get into any of these schools:
-Baylor
-Texas a&m
-University of Arizona
-Arizona state (I think I can, but Id rather not go here)
-Indiana University Bloomington
-Syracuse
-Florida Sate
-Clemson
-Texas Christian
-Umass Amherst
-University of Oregon
If I cant get into any of these schools, or if you have any, PLEASE leave sugestions for other good schools I may be able to get into. Thanks :)</p>

<p>I’ll assume that you’re going to pursue further studies beyond undergraduate. The great thing is that you could transfer to a better university by 4th year and the places you go for graduate will only see the school you went your 4th year. Essentially you could attend a community college and if you maintain a good GPA, probably transfer to a good state school and you’ll be weighed equally with the people that stayed at that state school for four years. Good luck. I’d also say you have a fair shot at some of the schools you want to go to. If you type the school name and search gpa sat (for example “Baylor GPA SAT”) you can find graphs showing just the statistics. Here’s a link to Baylor’s graph and it looks like you have a pretty good chance there <a href=“http://collegeapps.about.com/od/GPA-SAT-ACT-Graphs/ss/baylor-university-admission-gpa-sat-act.htm[/url]”>http://collegeapps.about.com/od/GPA-SAT-ACT-Graphs/ss/baylor-university-admission-gpa-sat-act.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Haha you hi-jack like 5 threads and copy “pelicular” from the thread under you. I would say your gpa speaks for yourself. No thanks.</p>

<p>It actually hurts you that you’re Indian.</p>

<p>@Firemeter He hijacked my thread and several others too -_-</p>

<p>Addidda, you can get into the University of Kansas. Quite frankly though, that 2.21 GPA indicate serious issues about your potential for success in college.</p>

<p>Sorry, but your GPA really hurts your chances of attending a lot of the universities on that list. The best thing to do is apply to attend a few state universities or more likely a community college, work your GPA up, and then apply for a transfer. Your degree comes from the school you graduate from, so no one will ever know or care how and when you got in.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
