<p>Please tell me what type of colleges ( ones that are actually good, not like community colleges XD ) i can get into with these current statistics</p>

Age: 16 next week
Graduating in 2015, entering 11th grade this year
GPA combined in 9th - 10th grade = 2.6 :frowning:
Sports: Varsity Basketball JV lacrosse, not amazing just your average player
Honors: Only Math
SAT: Been taking SAT prep for 3/4 of the summer, can get at least get a 1900, and a 5-6 on essay.
Current HS: Dwight Engle-Wood ( solid private school )
Money-wise: can pay up to 40-50k (thanks uncle liu and dad :slight_smile: )</p>

<p>Some back ground info: During my the start of highschool, my parents have been on the brink of divorce, but has decided to not split apart for my sake. They act like neutral room-mates in the house. Its been hard on me emotionally and mentally. Then my very close grandpa passed away in my soph year. Its been hard. Just wondering if this will affect anything. </p>

<p>TL:DR - I PLAN ON GOING COMPLETE “HAM” ON MY ACADEMICS THIS YEAR. So my gpa for 11th grade me be nearing a 3.5- 3.7. Please CC, help me out. Thanks</p>

<p>2.6/1900? Maybe U Missouri…</p>

4

<p>I plan averaging at least 3.0 by the end of junior year and with more preparation, I can say I will get AT LEAST a 2000</p>

<p>Bump???</p>

<p>hey you might want to take a look at Elon University in NC. Also American University in Washington. When the time comes. But I wouldn’t be looking at specific colleges yet. Just focus on your growth and development. Sorry to hear about your parents.</p>

<p>Howard, Quinnipiac</p>

8

<p>there are 3 or 4000 us universities. You will be able to choose from most of them. Just work hard. Don’t worry that you might have done better before now. Too early to stress about this stuff</p>

<p>Don’t worry, I am sure you will get into college! A 1900+ is a pretty solid score too. Trust me you’ll get in.</p>

10

<p>You’ll be fine. The national average on the SAT is 1500 so you’ll definitely go somewhere</p>

<p>haha I know quite a few kids from Dwight.</p>

<p>If you got a 2.6, I honestly doubt you are going to go ham and get a 3.8. You can’t just change your habits in a snap. Just work hard but don’t set specific goals like that, cause you are not going to hold up. just focus on getting the best grades you can, not a number.</p>

<p>Also, your personal situations can help some if you explain it well, but you aren’t really even trying to challenge yourself by only taking one honors class. You’ll get into a college though, dw</p>

<p>Thanks guys! I do appreciate it. :)</p>

13

<p>Any other above average colleges that I have a chance to get into? I think a liberal arts type of school would be fitting for me but I want to hear from the experts :)</p>

<p>Drexel at the match level. Perhaps some CUNY school would also do if urban colleges are your thing.</p>
