2.9 GPA: Is this good? Colleges you can get into with a 2.9

Do you have a 2˳9 GPA? Are you wondering whether a 2˳9 is good, and what colleges you can get into with a 2˳9?

We’ve written the most detailed guide to your GPA here:

• Find out which colleges you can get into with a 2˳9 GPA˳
• Learn how you can raise your GPA˳
• Learn what you should be doing to maximize your chances of getting into the best colleges˳

Quick disclaimer: unlike standardized test scores like SAT/ACT, GPA policies vary from high school to high school and from college to college˳ Some use weighted GPAs and others use unweighted GPAs˳ In this guide, we’ll generally talk about unweighted GPAs and compare you on a national and college level˳

As we’ll explain below, the actual GPA number is just one dimension of your coursework˳ The difficulty of your courseload is important – the more difficult your classes, the more colleges are willing to excuse a dip in GPA˳

Finally, even though this guide focuses on a 2˳9 GPA, our advice is the same for close GPAs, like 2˳92 and 2˳88 GPAs˳ You can use this guide for all GPAs between 2˳85 and 2˳94˳

This is probably the biggest question on your mind˳ What colleges can you get into with a 2˳9? What are your chances of admission at your top choice schools?

We’ve built a custom admissions calculator that calculates your chances based on the 3 most important factors to determining your chance of admissions:

• The school’s admission rate
• Your GPA
• Your SAT/ACT score

Here’s how to use this calculator:

1. Choose the SAT or the ACT, depending on which you’re taking
2. Choose your current SAT/ACT score
3. Enter the name of each college you’re interested in
4. Change your SAT/ACT score to see how your chances change

We’re not going to sugarcoat it: GPAs aren’t easy to improve˳ The later you are in high school, the less your GPA will change before you apply to college˳

For example, if you’re currently a junior in high school, your grades in freshman and sophomore year will anchor your GPA so that your junior grades won’t be able to change your total GPA much˳

Here’s a calculator for you to see how much your GPA can improve in different cases˳ Choose your current grade level, and then choose your future grades up until college applications˳ We’ll show you how high or low your GPA can be, depending on your grades from now forward˳

Your Grade Level Current GPA Semesters Remaining Future Grades GPA for Applications 2˳9 0 2˳9

Warning: Because you have no semesters left, your GPA won’t change by the time college applications are due˳ You’ll need to apply with a 2˳9 GPA˳ As we explain next, your best chance at improving your chances of getting in may be to improve your SAT/ACT score˳
