I have a 2.3 gpa, can I get into my top colleges in CT?

My SAT score is 1050 and my top colleges in CT are Central, Southern, Western, UHart, and University of Bridgeport. I have a good college essay but since my grade average is a C+ and not a B I’m not sure that I’ll be accepted.

Your SAT score is ok for University of Bridgeport, but your GPA is on the low end of what they accept: https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/college-university-search/university-of-bridgeport

Search the website above for the others. Click “Applying” and then either “Academics & GPA” (scroll down for GPAs) or “SAT/ACT Scores”.

Bridgeport and Hartford are your best chances, I’d say. A 2.3 is going to be the challenging part - do whatever you can to bring that up before applications are due.

You also need some good extra-curriculars too.
Hooks will be an added bonus
