<p>Looking for a college, with a dorm for a gal that has 2.5 grade point in Texas. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Depends on all sorts of factors, such as your budget (and eligibility for need-based aid), desired location, school size, etc.</p>
<p>Start with these:
[Colleges</a> That Change Lives | Changing Lives, One Student at a Time](<a href=“http://www.ctcl.org/]Colleges”>http://www.ctcl.org/)</p>
<p>Many of the CTCL schools will be too selective for a student with a 2.5 average (but the grade trend, scores, essays, etc. may make a difference at some). Almost 1 in 5 Earlham College students who submitted HS GPA had averages of 2.0 to 2.99.</p>
<p>There are likely some Texas public universities that will accept her (though class rank is likely to be more important than GPA).</p>
<p>But a “late bloomer” may find that attending community college, doing well, and then transferring as a junior to a university may allow attending a more selective university than one available to someone entering as a freshman with a 2.5 high school GPA.</p>
<p>How are her test scores?</p>
<p>What is her likely major?</p>
<p>What is her budget for college? (How much will her parents spend).</p>
<p>For students with modest stats, the family budget will largely determine where she can afford to attend.</p>
<p>colleges in texas: Texas Tech, Texas State University- San Marcos, Sam Houston State, University of Houston, University of North Texas… take chances and apply and see what happens.</p>
<p>For public schools in Texas, you really need to know her test scores since most schools admit based on a combination of class rank and test scores. </p>
<p>The following all have dorms and fairly low admission requirements.</p>
<p>Our Lady of the Lake University-San Antonio
Angelo State University
McMurry University
Howard Payne University
Stephen F Austin State University
Texas A & M University-Commerce
Schreiner University</p>
