<p>Don’t worry dude, you could take a class at community college to replace a bad grade to bump your GPA up to a 3.0.</p>
<p>Speak to your school guidance counselor and ask him if you could take some classes over the summer. </p>
<p>Oh and by the way, although senior grades aren’t factored in your GPA, they do help your chances of admittance if you get waitlisted. </p>
<p>When you’re wait listed, you could send them your updated senior grades to demonstrate your improvement. </p>
<p>It worked for me, I had a C- average as a freshman, a B- average as a sophomore and an A- average as a junior. </p>
<p>Applied to SUNY Buffalo(as an out of state student), Drexel and Hofstra. </p>
<p>Got waitlisted for the former 2 and accepted into the latter.</p>
<p>After the first 3 marking periods I sent them my updated grades, and seeing how I improved a letter grade every year they decided to accept me!!!</p>
<p>Too bad though, because I decided to attend Hofstra anyways lololol.</p>
<p>Don’t worry dude, don’t give up. </p>
<p>Consult your guidance counselor about the summer courses which might boost your GPA and if you’re wait-listed just keep working hard and demonstrate your improvements which usually get you in. </p>
<p>And if you try your best and still don’t get in, just enroll in community college for a semester, get fantastic grades and reapply. </p>
<p>You’d be sure to get in because you’re applying for a second time which demonstrates motivation and your improvement will surely be considered.</p>
<p>Good luck buddy!</p>
