Hi, I’m going to be a Senior this year and I’m a student athlete. My grades throughout high school haven’t been the greatest (actually pretty terrible) ranging to about a 2.67 GPA. My SAT score is a 1550, which from all of my surfing around the web, that is about an average score. I know I need a higher SAT score to have a better chance of getting into college, which is why I’m taking it as many times as I can during my Senior year. Hopefully I can get my grades up enough to at least get me to a 3.0, but I’m worried.

My concern is obvious, being a student athlete I have a slightly better chance then most, but not by very much. The school of my choice is Merrimack University in Boston, Massachusetts. Beautiful school, small classes, great athletic program.

My question is, being what my GPA is and my SAT score is, what’s my chances in getting into ANY four year University rather than a community college? Has anyone been through this before? What are my chances?
