Does anyone know anyone that has lower than a 2.5 GPA and still got into a university & not a com.colllege?

Question

what universities?

Answer 1

All accredited universities have a minimum GPA. However, most state schools also have an admissions committee that will consider lower GPA for admission on warning. That is the practice in Arkansas. The most successful arguments that I have seen come from potential students who did not apply themselves during earlier years. Some of them never intended to pursue higher ed, but have changed their mind. They have matured. Maturity and improved living environment are usually accepted, but the potential student must be prepared to argue before the committee. Wear your Sunday best. Practice your speech ahead of time. Ask someone in education for tips before you go before the committee.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Yes, I have known a few people who have gotten in to a university with under a 2.5 a couple different ways. Look at the entrance requirements for the school where you want to go. If you get a really good score on the ACT or SAT exams that can help you out and raise your index score to be able to get in. At some schools if your GPA is lower they let you write an essay about why you want to go to that school and your plans for the future that is how quite a few people got into my university. If you still cannot get in, don't worry! Go to community college first(you will save a ton of money I wish I had done that the first year or two) and get credit for some general education classes then you can transfer to a university. :)

Answer 3

Almost any State University will admit you with a 2.0 or above. Most of them have open enrollment, so you don't even need to worry about making it through an application. If you're going to do this, I highly suggest you take San Jose State University or San Francisco State University.

I really don't see why people run away from Community Colleges. Most Community Colleges will let you place at top Universities easily and with almost a free education.

Answer 4

A C+? sure....a college (not university). Just apply...don't worry about it.

By the way, there's nothing wrong with a community college, in fact it's a lot less expensive and is an easier transition, and you can get your AA and then transfer it to a 4-year college or university.

Answer 5

I did: ) They used the scores from my entrance exams; as well as put me into some remedial classes.
My GPA was low because I just did not go for a year- not wise- but the year i was not attending still counted against my GPA.

Answer 6

State school--public schools with open enrollment. Not private schools though...but you could go to public college your first year, then transfer in your second if you do well enough.

What state do you live in? Check around anywhere that has like "XX State" ...most of those are public.

Answer 7

Yes, really good basketball, football, and baseball players.
