Me too. But then again that was four years ago. You should still be fine though.

Ya, the big thing now is your ACT/SAT score. It probably helped that I got a 28 on my ACT.

3.4 is a great GPA, as long as you have some good extra curricular stuff, etc

Yeah, 3.4 is too low, you won't get in anywhere.  You should probably go start practicing mixing concrete right now.

I had a 3.0 and got into Mines, I don't think too much has changed in 6 years so you should be fine to get into any of the schools you listed. Keep your grades up though and get good test scores.

unless you've been taking weight lifting classes all your high school career, a 3.4 GPA will be fine.  Especially if your transcript shows a good deal of difficult or advanced classes.  Besides, a 3.4 looks like B, B, B, A, A- or something.

haha you guys think getting into college is about your grades?? what ive learned and seen is that anybody can get into college as long as mommy and daddys wallet is fat enough.

Hey I'm guessing you live in Colorado, i went to Mullen for high school and kids in my grade got into DU with 3.0's. You can definitely get into Fort Lewis, Western or CSU. On your application it's very important to make yourself unique, for your essay don't write about someone dead or going to leadership camp/community service. Find something unique to you, maybe it's skiing... My uncle is the director of admission at Notre Dame and I can tell you the essay is what they look at most there. If you have any questions feel free to message me!

lol ft lewis or western? you only need a pulse. Seriously, with a 3.4 you are in for sure. I wouldnt even do any more school work this year if that is where youre planning on going. And if you have that gpa in hs you'll do very well at either of those schools. I went to Western for a couple years, so I'm speaking from experience, tons of retard burnouts there.

No. You will be fine. I got into Miami University (OH) with a 2.9 but a lot of extra curriculars, service, and a damn good paper. You will be more than fine.

Your GPA is more than enough to get into college homie. I have a 2.8 and I got into CU, Montana, Oregon State, Washington State, Utah State, UNR, UNLV, 3 or 4 California state universities, and a few more that I dont really remember now if I even applied (yay having the know-how to get application fee exeptions from anyone!). I also haven't done more than like 3 or 4 hours worth of community service per year in my life... so you should be plenty safe.

That said, your GPA is more than good enough, but your ability to spell the words 'been' and 'state' might need some help. I suggest you get spellcheck plugins on your browser. Once you do that, then I would expect you to have no problem getting into school.

Nope. Especially if thats your community college GPA. A 2.0 college GPA gets you into so many places...

Hey I got a 2.98 and still managed to go to college plus I got over 3/4 of my tuition covered. Just do well on your ACTs and if possible and if your good at talking with people you have never met try to get an interview with someone in admissions(It got me 6 grand from the school).
