I'm not the best student -  I have a 2.75-3.0 cumulative GPA, and I haven't really done anything extra-curricular or out of the ordinary. I did well on the SAT and haven't yet taken the ACT, but that's pretty much all I have going for me. I'm probably not going to get into a great college, and I've been thinking that maybe I should start out at a community college and get my basics out of the way. It's not really what I want to do, but do you think I have a choice; or a chance at an actual university?

MiNNiCK Posted at 5:29 pm on Sep. 3, 2008 I can assure you that any after school activities don't really matter in college. cky00300 Posted at 4:28 pm on Sep. 3, 2008 u have nothing to worry about, you have a lot of the same scores as me, yea i have a few extra curriculars, but just make your essay good and apply to either smaller schools or state universities     you can do it jiminic2 Posted at 7:57 pm on Sep. 1, 2008 Not sure how Texas is, but in CA it's not too hard to get into state universities.  They're excellent choices here. runthespread Posted at 4:53 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Depends on how good your high school is and just how good your SAT score was.

I got an 1820 on the SAT and I'm retaking it in October. panicxparadox Posted at 4:49 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Is that a weighted GPA? What did you get on the SAT? All 7 previous replies displayed.
