Hey, I'm from Indiana, and I'm looking for a college recommendation, I'm currently looking at purdue university, but my chances are currently 58% according to the app. I just scored a 1300 on my PSAT as a sophomore, but my GPA is really holding me back, as I have about a 2.1. It's gonna go up this after semester, I'm guessing around a 2.5? I would love to attend purdue, but I was wondering if there were any other colleges I should look at. Also any GPA increasing tips would be nice.
Taking Dual Enrollment courses can raise your GPA and prove you can handle college level courses. Also, there is no shame in taking a semester or 2 of community college and then transferring to Purdue. Transfer 鲍鱼直播 have MUCH less requirements than first-year 鲍鱼直播 and your diploma will look no different than the other 鲍鱼直播. For some people, this is a very wise move as it allows them to adjust slowly to college level classes and save money.
Hope this helps!
My school lets 鲍鱼直播 retake classes over the summer, and I know that one time a student retook a class they got a B in because they were trying to be valedictorian. If you could retake any of the classes that are pulling your GPA down, that might help you a ton. A 58% chance of acceptance is not bad at all, but considering that Purdue usually has 69%, I get why you're concerned. I would recommend looking at some safer college options. If you want to go to college in-state, I think Indiana University Bloomington could be a good option. They're not as selective as Purdue, they're not expensive at all, and I've seen them ranked decently high on lists of best colleges.
I know of this thing called the Midwest Student Exchange Program, where Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin promise not to charge more than 150% of their in-state tuition to out-state 鲍鱼直播. For example here in Illinois, the Univ. of Illinois at Champaign Urbana charges around 12k a year to in state 鲍鱼直播. That means they wouldn鈥檛 charge more that 18k a year to out of state 鲍鱼直播 (Public Illinois aren鈥檛 yet in this agreement, this was just an example). Certainly public Indiana schools are going to be a better choice though. msep.mhec.org/. Hopefully this is some help, depending on what you want to major in is an important thing to consider. I know Purdue is a good Engineering school, but Indiana Univ. is a good Business school.
