<p>is there any chance of getting into a college in the U.S.?</p>
<p>my GPA is low because i suffered from social phobia for 3 yrs. so didn’t attend school (not because I didn’t wan’t to) but now I’m getting A’s in almost every class, so I was wondering if this would really hurt my chances?</p>
<p>whats your overall GPA and your SAT scores…where are you applying???</p>
<p>My overall GPA is around 6.5-7.0/10 and SAT, I think I could get 2200+, TOEFL 650+…
I got between 5-7 GPA in every course for 3 years, and I just showed up for the final exams and got 9-10/10 in the final exam but as I said I didn’t show up for classes and didn’t turn in any work so that put me down to 5-7… (damn social phobia!!)</p>
<p>And I learned the physics course the night before the final exam and got 10/10 in the final exam! :)</p>
<p>I am unfamiliar with a GPA scale out of ten…we use a 4.0 scale in the US…but youre GPA seems fairly satisfactory…and if you can get a 2200 on your SAT’s then i really wouldnt worry about getting into college. That is a really high score…As long as you write a hell of an essay about how your phobia effected your grades you should be fine. Again…where do you plan to apply…becuase that is what matter???</p>
<p>yeah I’m not sure
I wan’t to major in accounting/finance…
I’m just waiting for the SAT!..
BYU… NYU… UCLA… UofT … hopefully :)</p>
<p>Ya I wouldnt worry about it too much…you should be absolutely fine!!! A lot of my friends are set on going to UCLA, either there or UC Berkeley…Those dont come back till mid-march…so far I have gotten into michigan state, san diego state, andsan jose stae, all engineering…what country are you from???</p>
<p>UofT is in the U.S.?</p>
<p>UofT’s in Canada…</p>
<p>Unless we’re talkin’ about Uni of Tennessee and not Uni of Toronto…?</p>
<p>loll well i don’t know…I thought it was in Canada but he/she started with “is there a chance to get into a college in U.S.”.</p>
<p>couldnt it be Ubiversity of texas…lol</p>
<p>Oh, durn, that’s right. I didn’t think about the UT’s… :o</p>
<p>also even if it is in canada… the other ones pretty much have foundations in US… so well the ultimate chance thingy is in US…</p>
<p>coming back to the topic of primary concern here away frm allusions and digressions, a LOW gpa and a HIgh SAT hurts a lot … while the same isnt true for the reversed…</p>
<p>a High GPA and a low SAT is sumwhat acceptable due to SAT having less weightage…</p>
<p>remember the GPA is a academic appraisal of all you high school work in the last few years… even if u did slacken off then , it remains a fault no matter how you perform now… there are loads of kids who put in their hours of efffort trying to reach out the standards for those years you didnt feel like studying…so yes it will hurt a lot no matter what reason you didnt feel like…</p>
<p>On the contrary, the SAT scores being standardised wont give a definite advatnge for the very reasn that high scores are not a mtter of your intelligence but rather acquantance…which has low weightage in any admission process at any University…</p>
<p>Nevertheless it would be parrtially compensated if u have a valid argument in ur favor conceeding to the fact that there def was a deterring factor that prevented you frm studying…</p>
