<p>You can definitely get into 4-Year colleges, assuming your 2.3 is UW</p>

<p>You have a strong SAT score and respectable ECs – those should both be worth something.</p>

<p>Just look around, you’'ll definitely find something.</p>

3

<p>what state are you from?</p>

4

<p>You should make an appointment with your guidance counselor and discuss what other students with similar stats/achievement have done. Are you looking for something local? Some other area of the country? Big? Small? Potential area of study? Think about these things before meeting w/the GC.</p>

<p>i am from california</p>

<p>i am looking for a 4 year school</p>

<p>any suggestions?</p>

<p>I know Case Western Reserve University tends to look past a low GPA for out of state applicants with good scores. You might have a shot there. Of course, that is just what comes to mind first. There are thousands of colleges in the country, some of which merely require that you graduate from HS. So you can get into a 4-year somewhere, but that GPA will severely limit options.</p>

7

<p>can you give me names of specific schools that i have a chance of getting into?</p>

8

<p>you can try the CSU’s or UC Riverside for in-state.</p>

9

<p>to apply to all uc’s don’t you need to have a minimum of a 3.0?</p>

<p>can you suggest some schools out of state</p>

<p>money is not a problem</p>

<p>so please don’t hold back
privates are also a possibility.</p>

<p>If you graduate from any US high school, you can go to college. I’m not talking about Harvard or Stanford, but there is always a school for everyone. Smaller liberal arts schools are more likely to look past “numbers” if a student shows promise and motivation in other areas. If you do have your heart set on attending a certain school but your high school GPA doesn’t really reflect your potential, go to a community college for 2 years then transfer. It isn’t the most direct route however many students do this.</p>

<p>In terms of finding a college for you, Princetonreview.com has a nice and very useful survey/questionnaire (it’s called Counselor-o-Matic) that allows you search for schools you otherwise may not have looked for. I think it would be a good thing for you to try out since you’re unsure of where to start. That’s how I found my undergrad college and it turned out to be very useful.</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>do you think there is any chance of me getting into nyu?</p>

12

<p>can someone please respond…</p>

<p>NYU is very competitive – your metrics seem to make you an unlikely prospect. Have you met with your guidance counselor yet? Or is there SOMEONE who is knowledgeable about college search that you can speak with? If you’re serious, you need to get over that hurdle and speak to a warm body rather than get life direction from an online forum.</p>

<p>As previously stated, you definitely can attend SOME sort of college. </p>

<p>You said: “can you give me names of specific schools that i have a chance of getting into?” There are four thousand schools in the US that confer degrees. How can anyone toss a name at you? You need to get serious. If you truly are the captain of you debate and speech teams and pres of another org, then you should take action that will affect your life. Meet with that doggone GC or wise teacher. They know what a good fit will be for you. You need some solid direction from people who know you and will kick you in the rear when warranted. Not us.</p>
