The EDUFAX Educational FAQ

Question #63:

I am going to be a senior this coming year. I am not very active, my GPA is 3.25 and I am terrible at testing. What do you think my chances are at getting into a good school?

Answer #63:

If you think you can't, you can't, but if you think you can, your chances are much better! There are literally thousands of schools out there who would be interested in a student with a 3.25 GPA. Many of them do not even require the SAT. Get busy with your guidance counselor or independent consultant to make a list of schools, and ask the admissions officers which criteria they consider most important. You can contact EDUFAXfor these and other services. If, as you say, you are not very active, now is the time to get busy! You can make a difference in how you present yourself to the schools. If you downplay your achievements, they will accept your word. Get busy and start looking for a school that will jumpstart your life ! EDUFAX provides services for the Collegebound High School Student.
