It depends. What is your state of residence? Colleges look favorably upon students in their home state. Also, do you have any extracurricular activities to balance out your low GPA? Why is your GPA so low–did you have family obligations or difficult circumstances?
Honestly, you might be able to spin something to get you into some low-level schools, but if you’re just a lazy student who didn’t apply yourself during high school, then you have little hope beyond community college.
You are in at Keene. They take almost everyone.
Yes freshman year my mom was diagnosed with ms and my brother was in therapy for depression and my dad wanted to get a divorce so i had other things on my mind than school. But I run track and I am the captain. I get honors every term now too!
What grade are you in now, and what are your grades like? Is there an upward trend? If you were getting low scores freshman year but picked it up and are getting B’s/A’s in your junior year, that looks very good for colleges.
If you maintain the maximum upward trend you’ll get in somewhere, probably at least one of the universities you mentioned, colleges tend to be sympathetic about family issues, if you explain in additional comments most schools will be understanding and try to use your most recent work to objectively evaluate your potential. If you on the honor role now that’s a strong sign. Those colleges luckily aren’t super competitive to get into like other places so if you get focus on getting good grades now and get an average or above average ACT score for the college your applying to (which you can google or find on a college sight) you should get in, despite your GPA.
I’m a junior
Take the SAT and ACT ASAP. They will be critical, given your low GPA.
