Colleges that accept less than average students

<p>I’m not sure if I should be posting this here or somewhere else but here I go. </p>

<p>I have a current weighted GPA of 2.2 that may rise at the end of Junior year. </p>

<p>I have taken the SAT once so far and got a 1460 on it. </p>

<p>I’m not into EC, I might do a lot over the summer though. </p>

<p>But yeah, what are some schools in North Carolina that will accept me?</p>

<p>youngstown state (in ohio)
Washburn University</p>

<p>You should ask your own guidance counselor for suggestions. If you are in NC or a nearby state, your counselor is likely to know.</p>

<p>You need to recognize that your GPA is not promising. Is there a reason why you haven’t been doing very well in school? Unless you have a particular career goal that can only be achieved with a college degree, you might not need college at all. If you do need college, spend time with your teachers now developing the study skills you will need to have in order to do well in college.</p>

<p>Your local community college sounds like a solid option to me.</p>

<p>Does it have to be in North Carolina ? Ohio University is pretty good. Do you have a legit reason for low GPA for example being hospitalized, tragic incidents, depression etc ? Also you need to study and increase that SAT score to at least 1700, around 1800 would be better.</p>

<p>You can go to community college, do well there, and transfer to a four year school to complete your bachelor’s degree. If you do well in community college, your choices of four year school will be greater than with your current high school record.</p>

<p>Yeah it does since I live in North Carolina. My reason for my horrible GPA was low self esteem. I believed what the other kids told me about how stupid I was and couldn’t get into college because I wasn’t taking all honors classes. I only recently realized that everything they said was pure garbage but it’s a bit too late for that now…</p>

<p>Anyway, I actually DO want to go to a CC. I don’t think paying for college when you have my current study skills is a good idea. </p>

<p>The problem is truly my dad. He thinks CC’s are for idiots and refuses to let me go there. </p>

<p>I’m not really ready to leave my parents just yet. I’m not ready. I doubt I will be in by the end of senior year even.</p>

<p>Local CC seems to be your best option. Try to convince your dad by finding examples of successful people that went to CCs.</p>

<p>Well, ask your dad how much he’s willing to pay each year for you to go to a “non-CC”. If he’s willing to pay a lot of money, then you may have other choices.</p>

<p>So, ask your dad how much he’ll pay.</p>

<p>(If he won’t pay much, then frankly, he doesn’t really have a say in where you go.)</p>

<p>Alright, thanks a lot guys.</p>
