What major college can i go to with a 14 on the ACT and a 2.0 GPA?

Answer 1

You can go to your local community college. They have classes to help you improve your study skills, and will test you to see if you need help in the areas of reading comprehension, skills, writing, and math. Once you learn how to learn, you will enjoy these courses more. Coursework above 100 (ie, English 101, etc.) is transferrable to four-year colleges. Your best bet is to work with an academic advisor at the college of your choice. They are in Student Services, and there is no charge to get their help and advice. They will help you with your transition from high school to college. Good luck and best wishes.

Answer 2

Start at any community college, it will be run like a transition program, more advanced than high school, but with more help than at at 4 year college.

With a 14 on the ACT, you need some more help.

Remember, big colleges often have 300 students in one class, if you are not at the top of your game you will get left behind.

Go to JR college, build up your GPA, then apply to other colleges.

Answer 3

Basically, with those scores and GPA -- your choices are very limited -- the local community college is where you should apply, and you will most likely have to take College Placement Tests (because your scores are so low -- they may require you to take courses to build your skills BEFORE you take the required courses for ANY degree program.

My suggestion: START getting SERIOUS About your education and WORK at it! That is the only way you are going to make it through college -- and a 2.0 from HS is going to translate to Ds and Fs in College -- a sure fire way to get kicked out and NEVER get that degree (which is pretty much necessary for just about any job nowadays).

Answer 4

Hey, no sweat! like all the others said, try a community colleges. U def. will get in there, then take some placement tests, try studyin for em, and then bump up the GPA, u have like 4 semesters (2 yrs) to do tht, then transfer out to a "major" college!
p.s
community college saves u alotta money too! ; )

Answer 5

2.0 GPA and a major college in the same sentence? Come-on, where's the hidden camera?

Answer 6

I know a lot of people have said similar things, but here is my advice:

- enroll in your local community college in whatever field you are interested in (make sure you will get an AA or AS, not a AAA or AAS or ABA-- they are applied (professional) degrees and don't transfer well).
- Take as many liberal arts (history, science, social sciences...) as you can.
- study hard and get at least a 2.5 (C+) or higher.
- after you earn your associates degree and can transfer anywhere.

I know of people with high school grades like that who have ended up at MIT and Ivy league schools. The key is to get an associates degree so they won't look at your high school transcripts. You can also tranfer into your state's major college with an associates, which are less prestigious, but more well known.

Good Luck!

Answer 7

Even most smaller public universities require at least 18 before they will admit a student. Take your ACT again (if you can) and try to raise the score. Otherwise try a community college. They offer a lot of good 2-year degree programs.

Good Luck!

Answer 8

Most major colleges require a 3.0 or something near there. Try community college.

Answer 9

none - the GPA is way too low. Go to your local community college or junior college to bring the GPA up to at least 3.75 before you apply to a university
