<p>I’m changing schools/majors late in the game - I’m 21 and have over 100 credit hours. My cumulative GPA at my current (state) school is a 2.96. However, failing classes my first semester at another school means my total GPA is a 2.64. (Not sure which one matters most?) My ACT was a 32, but I’m not sure that matters anymore at all.</p>
<p>I’m particularly interested in Bio, Microbiology, Zoology etc. Are there schools (NOT in Portland - my current city) where I should consider applying? Somewhere I could leverage my excellent writing skills, or perhaps a school that worships standardized test scores - even for transfers? I’m willing to go anywhere in the country.</p>
<p>Try looking at Idaho State University or Utah State University. These may not be big name schools but they are in a region of the country that has quite a bit of opportunity for Bio/MicroBio/Zoology majors.</p>
<p>They’ll accept you. They accept almost anyone. Trust me, I applied as a freshman with a 2.4 GPA, no extracurricular activities, and less than average SAT scores, and I got in.</p>
<p>Of the top 150 universities in the country, ASU is probably the least selective.</p>
<p>Also, it has probably the best party scene in the country, if you’re into that.</p>
<p>Lavender is right about Florida Gulf Coast University - it’s a very perfect match for your major, lifestyle (not big party school), and who wouldn’t want Florida weather! The campus is a green campus and they have very new facilities that would be a good fit for your studies. The classes are smaller than most you’d find in other schools to.</p>
