Colleges that accept a 3.5 GPA?

Hey guys, I have a 3.5 GPA and I'm looking for some colleges that are likely to accept me with this GPA. Can you suggest a few options? Thanks in advance for any help!

Of course! With a 3.5 GPA, you have a solid academic foundation and plenty of colleges would be interested in you. Here are some suggestions across different levels of selectivity:

1. Less Selective Schools (acceptance rate > 50%):

- Arizona State University (Tempe, AZ)

- University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa, AL)

- Iowa State University (Ames, IA)

- University of Central Florida (Orlando, FL)

2. Moderately Selective Schools (30%-50% acceptance rate):

- University of Massachusetts (Amherst, MA)

- Rutgers University (New Brunswick, NJ)

- University of Connecticut (Storrs, CT)

- University of San Francisco (San Francisco, CA)

3. More Selective Schools (10%-30% acceptance rate):

- Syracuse University (Syracuse, NY)

- Loyola Marymount University (Los Angeles, CA)

- University of Georgia (Athens, GA)

- Fordham University (Bronx, NY)

Please note that finding the right college also depends on factors beyond GPA, such as your extracurricular involvement, test scores (if not test-optional), intended major, geographical preferences, size preferences, and college culture.

Additionally, the selectivity categories provided above are just general guidelines – each school still has its own selection process and specific requirements. It's crucial to research each college to ensure it's a good fit and to get a better understanding of their specific admissions requirements. Good luck in your college search!
