how did you get into college with Cs?
- aidenn0 4y agoMainly that it was easier to get into college 25 years ago, but also I scored in the top 1% on the SATs. I also was a bit scared of not getting into college, so I managed to get my GPA up to a 2.9 by the end of junior year (which included a metaphorical rolling-over and showing my belly to my English teacher, who was giving me bad grades out of spite).
- t-3 4y agoMost colleges don't care, especially if your standardized test scores are high enough. The main problem is with obtaining scholarships, they will care about grades a lot. I left before completing even a single semester because I hated it, but my 2.0 GPA didn't stop me from getting admitted anywhere.
- barry-cotter 4y agoCompetitive colleges are a small minority in US. Less than 300 colleges reject more students than they accept. CUNY isn’t the only college with no entrance standards (open enrollment) and community colleges are also open enrollment and have transfer agreements for fours year colleges. Lots of countries have similar institutions.
