also no sport scholorship for me? cuz i suck at sports and my gpa is around 3.7 so you think i will get into a college. (I still have two more years of high school left.)
 
a 3.7 is a pretty good average......if u mean 2.7...then you should seriously work on ur GPA and try finding some type of extracurricular activities.....jus try to work on being a more well-rounded student.....but dont think u have all the time in the world because time will fly by....
 
As long as you have financial aid, with a 3.7 you will be fine. You will also more than likely score atleast a 1250 on Sat's with a 3.7, so you will be fine. Of course go for higher scores, but thats the avg.
Now IVY schools are hard, but colleges are dying for enrollment.
 
3.7 is a high B average. Did you mean 2.7? That's a high C average. With a 3.7 you shouldn't have any problem getting into a decent school, but it will be a lot harder with a 2.7. But you have two more years to bring up your average. If you can - are capable and motivated enough - then you should do ok in college. But if you can't bring it up, then consider that college might not be for you. It's a lot more work than high school.
 
You don't mean a 3.7 out of a 4.0, do you? That'd be an A-, which is great. I assume you do mean a C average.

If your grades stay about where they are, you have some choices. You could either pick a community college or private junior college, get your associates, and then transfer; or you could target less competitive four year colleges. It's your choice.

There are four year colleges that aren't at all hard to get into. I don't know your grades or SAT scores, of course, but some colleges that are of decent quality, but don't require high SATs or GPA, include:
- Dean College (MA)
- Curry College (MA)
- Southern New Hampshire University
- Wheelock College (MA)
- Endicott College (MA)
- Lasell College (MA)
- Columbia College Chicago
- Mount Mary College (WI)
- Dominican College (NY)
- Mercy College (NY)
- Dowling College (NY)
- Nyack College (NY)

And quite a few more. If you want a four year college, some of these may be worth checking into.
