<p>what colleges can i get into with a 19 act score and 82 as my gpa(2.7)?</p>
<p>Your local directional U, Community College, if you’re in NYC the CUNYs.</p>
<p>what should I get my grades up to, so that i can get into some schools out of NY state?</p>
<p>It is always to your advantage to get your grades up. And your test score, if you didn’t practice.</p>
<p>The other key question is what can you afford.</p>
<p>And get yourself a copy of Colleges That Change Lives by Lauren Pope as a starting point for some research.</p>
<p>As M’s Mom stated, going out of state is really more dependent on what your family can afford. If you can afford it you can go to a directional U in another state.</p>
<p>If you can afford it, there are plenty of private institutions that would be happy to take you as well. Especially if you are male, and you are applying to LACs.</p>
<p>Start here – [College</a> Search - College Confidential](<a href=“http://www.collegeconfidential.com/college_search/]College”>http://www.collegeconfidential.com/college_search/)</p>
<p>it should generate a preliminary list of schools to look at.</p>
<p>thank you for all your help.</p>
