Asked by goflip713I'm in the 4th and last semester of my f-man. yr. in HS. My GPA is 3.6 at the moment on a FOUR point scale. Could I get into a good university. By the way, I've never really been interested in Ivy League schools so I'm not inquiring about them. I'm just asking, would I be able to get into college with a 3.6/4 GPA, NO HONORS/AP CLASSES (Except French 4 Jr. Year and AP Fr. Sr. Yr.), ONLY HIGH COLLEGE PREP CLASSES. I've been worried about this because it seems as if though a bunch (not the majority) of students in the class of 2010 and my high school are in at least one honors class. But because I can no longer move up into honors courses this late in the year OR next year (I know, my high school's screwed up.), I just REALLLLYYYY want to know if I can still get into a good college based on my GPA (not including sayyy.... the 4-6 clubs/teams I'm in). Colleges like....... 1. Boston Univ. 2. UDEL 3. Ithaca 4. Iona 5. Marist 6. Hofstra 7. TCNJ And yes, I live on the East Coast (NJ)

I'll assume your SAT scores end up being okay. I'll bet you'll get into Iona and Marist with no problem at all. I don't know TCNJ, so I can't speak of that school. You may get into Hofstra. You might get into U Del. You might not make it into BU. One of the things you can start to do now, if you'd like, is narrow your focus of interest in terms of extracurriculars. So many good students to a lot of activities - colleges now tend to be interested in what makes you unique. So if you have a special talent, or you do something that's of special interest to you, see if you can start to focus a bit on that now. If you are in 4-6 clubs, that's great, but try to really get into at least one of them. If you're really into art, for example, try to start pursuing that interest - kick it up a notch. If you're into sports, try to focus in on that. Not that you need to drop all your activities - not at all - but if you can focus your interests a bit, that can help.
