<p>What happened that your gpa is a 2.5?</p>

4

<p>I just didn’t apply myself. I realize now how stupid that was, but there’s nothing I can do at this point.</p>

<p>Fordham, NYU, and Northeastern seem unrealistic. You have to remember that GPA is the most important thing when it comes to college admissions and yours is lacking. Also remember that a high score on the SAT/ACT and a low GPA implies laziness.</p>

<p>Low GPA engineer is like eating tofu with chop sticks.</p>

7

<p>I think it is best to go to a community college and then go on to the aforementionned schools.</p>

<p>Bear in mind that a billion people in China eat their tofu with chopsticks every day. Smart-but-lazy in high school makes it hard to get into college, but lazy can be changed.</p>

<p>Love your safety, find your motivation, have a rockstar transfer app.</p>

<p>I agree with Catia, two years of community college and then transferring will probably be your best bet. You can save money and build up a stronger academic record then the one you have right now…</p>
