Which college would best suite me, (3.3 GPA)?

Question

Havent taken the SAT's yet, but just looking ahead
Best answer given.

Answer 1

Have you checked out the Claremont Colleges in Claremont, California? They are a consortium of several schools, each of which specializes in a certain area. The cool thing is that once you enroll in one school, you can take classes at any of the schools in the consortium. So you get the small classes and individual attention, but you also have the large campus feel and access to the best professors. Here's a link to their website:

Answer 2

Many public universities offer a wide variety of majors and accept students with 3.0 gpas. But most will require that you complete specific courses in Math, Science, Social Studies, English, Foreign Language and Visual and Performing Arts.

For example, the California State University System has 23 universities, and they require students to have specific courses, and a minimum 3.0 gpa. But they use a formula of the gpa times 800 and add the SAT Reading and Math score. If that is 2900 or higher, students are eligible for admission to the CSUs. The CSUs would be a great place to start looking at colleges, even if you're not a California resident. Check it out at www.csumentor.edu .

Do some homework and visit college websites and look at undergraduate admisison criteria to be sure you 're taking the right courses to be eligible for college wherever you live.

Also visit the College Board website to get started planning to take the SAT. And some colleges prefer the ACT so visit www.actstudent.org as well.

Good luck!

Answer 3

I think you meant suit, but in general, most colleges are about the same. Unless you want to major in something special that isn't offered at many schools, you can go just about anywhere.

Of course, there are universities like Cornell, Harvard, Yale etc, where the alumni are very useful for finding a job after graduation.

You just need to figure out what to do and do your research. And a more expensive tuition doesn't mean a better education.

Answer 4

the college that would best suit you is the one that offers the subject you like and will allow you to major in what you want. All colleges give a good education so you have to go somewhere you like. and gpa is not the only thing that can answer the question. ur activities, sat's, leadership role, community service, and ur honors all play a role when trying to get into college.

Answer 5

Depends on your overall academic profile, extra-curriculars, and your own preferences in regards to class size, location, and potential majors.

At a 3.3 GPA, I'd wager you're not about to get into an Ivy League. But that's not to say you couldn't score well at a state U or tech school.

Answer 6

The college that you think suite you is in own choice.. Why don't go and look around the college school that you think you would like and then try answer you own question

Answer 7

errr,? This is the most vague question actually asking for an answer it seems. where do you want to school? whats your major? does it matter if it is out of state? are you going to even score high enough on the SAT to make your miserable GPA remotely relevant?

maybe a vocational school will do?

Answer 8

That is not nearly enough information. There are 3,800 colleges in the USA. Do you want big or little, city or country, tech or lib arts, religious based/secular/state, red state or blue state?

Go to collegeboard. com and go through the college search program. THat will helpyou narrow down your choices....

Answer 9

Apply to all the good ones and go to the most prestigious one that accepts you. If it's too expensive to go out of state, go to the best one in your state. You need to figure out what career you are going into now, and pick the best school in that field.

Answer 10

Whichever college you like the best or has the best program for what you want to do.

Or whatever you or your parents can afford.
