There are a lot of websites that you should check out that can help you find a school that meets all of your criteria, not just GPA and cost. That will give you at least some sort of an idea of what your options are. See sources. Good luck!

It depends on if that is your high school gpa or college gpa. If it's a high school gpa, you will have a lower chance of getting into most universities. If you go to community college in your area and that is your gpa you will have an almost sure shot at it as long as you finish your first two year degree.
I had a 3.6 gpa and I didn't have much of a chance in high school, but now that I'm almost done with my 2 year degree with a 2.6 gpa and I have an almost sure chance of getting in Western. A higher and more expensive school might not take you if you have that low of a gpa even if you are transfering. So try some of the lesser popular colleges like Westerns, Norhterns, Easterns, and States.

State colleges are usually less expensive and often community colleges allow more flexibility with grades for new entrants. You can always do 2 yrs at a community college, get you AA or AS degree and then transfer to a 4 yr school, and with good grades you could get a grant or scholarship towards your BA or BS. Worked for me (SUNY- State University of NY- lots of great schools in that network).

Depends on where you live -- 2.5 isn't too bad. I'd try looking at the community college in your area and see if they allow you to coordinate a 2 year degree from there with a 4 year institution.
The list of the institutions they coordinate degree programs with should give you an idea of the types of institutions who may accept you with a 2.5 gpa. Good luck.

I go to the University of Phoenix Online! I got some Financial Aid and took out loans for the rest. I do not have to start repaying the loans until 6 months after I graduate. You get your degree much quicker, but you have to be dedicated to the work. I love the convience of working online instead of going to a traditional campus.

Community College. Some state schools accept that low of a GPA, but with your GPA...I would say stop screwing around and make up for lost time at a Community College.

Many state run universities will accept a 2.0 GPA.
