Am I screwed?

I thnk what everyone is saying is that for engineering it’s going to be difficult to gain admission with less than a 3.0 gpa. But, none of us has a crystal ball to tell you what the admissions decisions would be.

There is nothing wrong in applying to some less competitive schools but keep in mind you may not get in and have a back up plan (community college) that you are willing to pursue.

Some schools offer a pre-engineering type program for those who don’t meet the requirements to enter the major right away. Perhaps you could look for schools offering something like that. It might make admission easier for you and allow you to prove you can do the work. One of our Wisconsin state schools (UW-Platteville) has a program like this.
