I don't know what to do anymore.

My son had a GPA under 3.0, with solid, but not astronomical, test scores. He got into our state’s respected public flagship. He chose to go to a small, arts-oriented college instead, but he is now at another respected, four-year, public university. It’s too bad that you didn’t take at least one round of SATs and/or ACTs earlier. This is very late to begin the process, since you will really only have the one set of tests to base your search process on.

Your options are much, much better if finances aren’t a huge concern. Your GPA is not truly disastrous, and you took a rigorous curriculum, so you can probably get into at least some public colleges in your state. Unless you perform abysmally on your SAT, there is no need to consider community colleges as your sole options. They might make financial sense, but a 3.28 is adequate for the majority of four-year colleges.
