I'm entering my senior year in high school. I'm a member of various clubs and organiztions at my school such as the girls basketball team and the debate club. In school my GPA is rather low its a 1.83 I'm not too excited to say but the hopes of me getting into college are slim to none. Its like during the school year I'm a B/C Student but when it comes to end of the year test I dont really seem to do good no matter how much I study.The college that I really want to attend is Norfolk State University. I'm in a program called AVID which helps students who have the determination to go to college. Norfolk has a program with a sister community college to help students whos GPA's are low. The thing I'm not sure bout is how low your GPA has to be. The main thing I was wondering is if I could get into any college with such a low GPA.

Well, according to the College Board, only 1% of their entering students had a GPA under 2.0 (I didn't know you could graduate with less than a 2.0 - that isn't true in college). Check with the AVID program about it. It may be that something can be done. At the very worst, you can go to a community college for a couple of years and transfer to a place like Norfolk State.
If I were you, though, I would talk to someone about our problems with the end-of-year tests. It sounds like you have a problem either with anxiety or with your approach to studying, and you need to fix it before you get to college.

You should check Norfolk State University's website to see if you meet the minimum GPA. It sounds like you really tried your best and got involved. It's good that you joined AVID, too. No one could say you didn't work hard.

Almost all community colleges have open admissions, an if you do well at a community college, you should be able to transfer to a 4-year college. It will also be cheaper, and you'll probably get more personal attention than you would at most other public colleges or universities.
