What are my chances of being accepted to Christopher Newport University?
Asked by SpgmrI am currently a rising senior in high school and the college i would really like to attend is Christopher Newport University (CNU) out of Newport News Va. My Cumulative GPA is only a 2.81 but i do have a few extracurriculars. Played football for four years member of International thespian society I've done 3 play productions and i also actively volunteer at a food pantry for people in poverty I guess thats it, not too impressive, but my classes for senior year are pretty challenging. I'm also a 4 year Spanish student. If you've recently gone there or know anything about the school please let me know and what else i could do. i forgot to mention my sat score was 1550 out of 2400, i know cnu omits part of the section but im not specifically sure about what my other score is.

You don't say what your SAT scores were...but a number of my son's friends were accepted with 3.0 GPAs. SAT scores in a good range are important as well. CNU is rising...it's a public 4 year university, recently (a couple years)converted from a community college. Everything is new - the buildings, the labs, the dorms, etc and the school received 400% more applications last year than they did the year before. The administration is committed to growing an excellent school, and are moving very much into the "selective" university realm; this year they were expecting nearly 8000 applications for 1200 spots. According to their website, the AVERAGE GPA is 3.4 and average SAT is 1165. Remember that is average - and if you show a quality first semester of your senior year and good SATs, you have a fighting chance.
