Yes you will get a good school.\nGPA is an important part of the admission selection process.However  there are some other factors which are of equal significance:\n1.Standardized Test Scores\n2.GRE subject schools scores. As some high ranked schools require this.\n3.Recommendations\n4.Essay\n5.Your extra curricular activities\n6.Your Resume\n\nLet me tell you that good is a very relative term. The school that is good for you need not be good for some other student.\nSelection of the right program should be one of the most important part of this process.\nWhile selecting the program take into account the following factors not necessarily  in the order presented :\n1.Your interest - whether you want to go for research or theory programs.\n2.Ranking and the reputation of the program. \n3.Whether your credentials are compatible to the university requirements.\n4.Costs of the program.Has the university reputation for offering financial help.\n5. Have you found a professor who is willing to be your research mentor.\n6. Location of the University.\nGood Luck\nNBS

Maybe not.  Since the whole SAT "scandal" more and more schools are dropping the requirement.  Check with each school you're interested in.

I was an A/B student with occasional C (in English) ugh.  Ended up with a 3.31 GPA (thanks to the AP courses I was taking.  But, then something incredible happened.  I ONLY got 1 scholarship and that was to an historically black college.  Most of the white students went at night.  So, I Was one of FEW full time white students.  Since they had 0 social events that I found interesting and most of them stayed away from me.  I turned into a study geek and became smarter and smarter.  I ended up finishing that University degree in 5 semesters instead of 8 and was number 1 in math at the university (3.7+ GPA).  I then went on for 3 more University degrees (over 3.5 GPA in each).  \n\nSometimes culture you are in really can change you! :D

unfortunately, not these days.  colleges and universities aren't only looking for a decent GPA, they also want a "well-rounded" student, meaning they want you to participate in clubs, activities, sports, and local community activities/programs (volunteer stuff.) for the ivy league big-boys, you still can't be a total failure, unless they're giving you a sport scholarship, and then you can pretty much teswt lower than wood and still get accepted.  if you're anywhere before your senior year (11th grade or lower) jump into activitites, keep up with your studies, and make sure you have enough tuition money before applying!!!

Every college you talk to, they will tell you that your high school transcript is the most important part of your application. The SAT or ACT is definitely secondary. \n\nWhat do you mean by "good college" There are 2000 colleges in the USA. The top 20 or so are extremely competitive, but the rest are not very competitive. Look at the acceptance rates for lots of the colleges in the top 100 US News rankings and you will find lots of them that accept over 50% of applicants. \n\nIf you have an average of 650 or so on your college board tests, and a GPA of 3.5 or so, you can get into any but the most selective schools. You should be thinking about WHICH school is going to fit you better. City or country? Big or small? North, South, East or West? Public or private? There is a lot of info about this at your local library and online. You can check every school you're interested in and see the stats for their last class.... SAT's, rank in class, number admitted... almos every college has this on line.

It's okay, not outstanding or anything.. 49% of students had a GPA of 3.75 or higher in high school. But your SAT scores and other factors have something to do with it also. Apply. If you get in, great. If not, at least you know. It's worse to not apply and keep wondering if they would have accepted you. Just do it! And you have time to improve that. :)

No. Even if your SAT/ACT scores are high and you have a lot of extracurricular activities, a college will read your GPA and believe that you are too unmotivated or lack self-discipline to go into a four year college situation. Remember that their reputation is on the line and that they don't like to take chances with that. Your best bet is to go into a local community college and work your a$$ off. After graduating with a two-year degree, you can then transfer to a good school when your GPA is up to par.

Unfortunately, the answer is "Maybe".\n\nIf you are trying to get into a top tier school with very selective admissions, then a low SAT/ACT score is virutally a "kiss of death".\n\nHowever, if you are looking at most state univerisities, then a low SAT/ACT score is not too bad.  You may have to take a few remedial courses.\n\nMOST IMPORTANT!!  A low SAT/ACT score WILL NOT stop you from going to college.  And, in the long run, it really doesn't matter very much where you get your undergraduate degree (as long as the college/university is "regionally accredited").  For example, a degree in education from ANY regionally NCATE accredited school will get you hired as a teacher.  An engineering degree from ANY ABET accredited school will get you hired as an engineer.\n\nEnjoy

Your resume is very, very good. Have you taken the SAT? Along with your GPA and resume, your SAT score (and possibly SAT II) is going to play a large role in convincing the Princeton Admissions group that you are worth accepting into one of the best universities in the world.

Depends on the college.  Your SAT score is not the only factor colleges use when screening applicants.  They use that in conjunction with your grades and extra curricular activities.  Most colleges would rather take students who are in several groups with an average SAT score than somebody who scored high on the SAT but never got involved in school.  I got an average score and got into the college of my choice with no problem.  Look into some of the schools you're interested in and see exactly what they're looking for in prospective students.

I think that someone like you would be the better student, and looked at better than the first.  When colleges look at grades and courses, they want to know that you know what you can handle.  They want good GPAs.  Great grades that keep you in the top of your class will get you into college.  What will help even more is if you went a step above just classes and participated in activities.  A person who just had great grades will not look as good to a college as someone who does well and has involved themselves in other activities, especially volunteering.  If you have that as well, then you are a shoe in.
