i know i’m stupid…



Sheesh, Eternalsnow. The first thing you have to do is get behind yourself a bit. There are enough naysayers out in the world - don’t let one live inside your own head. People with miserable grades and test scores (and that isn’t you) have gone on to become billionaires in this country. Your limitations are, for the most part, what you make them out them to be. Also, your scores and grades are good enough to go someplace which can take you anywhere.

Search for the 3.0-3.3 threads on CC. In them you will find tons of information on solid schools that would be thrilled to have you. Also look into Colleges That Change Lives. As for your interest in Robotics, showing depth, passion, and achievement in one thing is far more compelling to adcoms than seeing a smattering of EC’s.

Here is one of the threads that I mentioned:

Your test scores could be a little higher for your gpa, so it might be good to aim for schools that would be pretty happy with your 3.4.
