SAT- 980/1600....1480/2400

ACT-20

lots of volunteer/sports/lifeguard summer job

want to be elementary education major in northeast!!

WHAT SCHOOLS ARE GOOD FOR THAT MAJOR IN NORTHEAST.. THAT I COULD POSSIBLE GET INTO?

Answer 1

1. West Virginia University

2. Marshall University

3. University of Texas El Paso

4. Liberty University

5. Virginia Common Wealth University

6. Old Dominion University

81% is the equivilant of a 3.1 GPA and 20 on your ACT should get you into any of these division 1 schools who except most of all thier applicants. By the way I got into West Virginia with a 2.3 GPA they share the same admission requirements as Marshall University.

1. university of pittsburgh

2. fordham university

3. clark university

4 drexel university

5. university of maryland baltimore county

Answer 3

Being realistic because I have done this many times:

Your GPA is very low.  You are at a 2.5-3.0.  Your SAT and ACT scores are well below the average for most schools.  In order to look at some of the schools you hear about you need to get in the neighborhood of 1100+/1600.

You are looking at small schools that would be categorized as Competitive.  With your GPA and scores the Very Competitive, Most Competitive and Highly Competitive are going to be real stretch to get into.

Here are several to look at:

Sacred Heart University

Fairfield, Connecticut  

University of Bridgeport

Bridgeport, Connecticut  

University of Hartford

West Hartford, Connecticut  

University of New Haven

West Haven, Connecticut
