I graduated HS with a 2.6, but I had a very high ACT. I got into an extremely good college. I did have to explain myself in an interview, but luckily they realize that smart people are generally bored by HS curriculum.

If you're not smart, though, you're not gonna become a scientist (hopefully).

with that and a 2.6 gpa, what colleges could i get into?

>> No.1309701

if you didn't do well in high school grades, tests, or even the SAT. you can get away with going to a community college, getting a good GPA there, and then transferring to a four year if you so choose.

Make sure your charming, but not arrogant.

It's a thin line.

Well you can always go to a 2 year community college then transfer in to a much better school.

>> No.1309715

gpa matters shit as long as you provide quality work when it counts.
