What 4 year Universities accept 2.2 GPA and a 15 on ACT??

Question

I dont want a community college, I would consider going to any 4 year university that would accept me.

Answer 1

I just did this yesterday for someone asking a very similar question, and it took a long time, so let me tell you how I got to the answer. I went onto www.collegeboard.com. They have a "college matchmaker" feature near the lefthand margin of the first page. You put in your qualifications and preferences on the following screens, and it will spit out a list of possibilities. This person yesterday had a GPA and ACT slightly lower than yours, and I still got a list of 30 schools or more. Then you can go onto the websites of the ones which most appeal to you (location, religion or not, etc.) and find out more.

Answer 2

See college locators on the link below and click on the choose your criteria, then go to the selectivity link for -gpa
Lots of people have a 2.0 gpa and get accepted to 4 yr colleges.Some students actually do better in college than h.s. You may need to be willing to relocate, and it may cost more, but there are possibilities.

The suggestion to attend community college and transfer is a great idea. The University of California, for instance, is very selective for freshman admits, but transfer students can qualify for admission w/ a C+ average. If they attended a CC, they saved a bundle on tuition. The downside, of course, is that it can be like coming to a party that's half-way over, you don't have 4 years to get to know people, but the positives can make it worth doing.

By the way, there are also all kinds of scholarships that don't require a high gpa or test scores. You can also search for scholarships and grants while looking for colleges. In addition to scholarships for gifted artists, athletes, community volunteers, there are also unusual criteria- such as scholarships for tall people and one for left-handed students.

Answer 3

Well I'd suggest applying to places in your state. If they don't accept you try starting at a community college to get your GPA up and transfer. I know you don't want to but if it's only for a year or two it could be well worth it. Usually state schools especially small ones will let you in. Especially if you have a lot of extra curriculars.

Answer 4

I am sorry to say but your chances of going to a 4 year university look rather bleak. Maybe you could look at some southern schools as they may have lower qualifications. Or maybe you could do one semester at a community college and transfer to a four year school(providing you do very well). In the end you may be lucky and somone may be willing to give you a chance at a 4 year school. I wish you the best!

Answer 5

Many state schools have branch campuses. Those campuses are full fledged 4-year universities without the space constraints generally. Penn State for example still has space in many of it's branch campuses.
