Colleges with 2.0 GPA Requirement?

What's up? My GPA is currently around a 2.0, and I'm trying to find colleges that accept students with this GPA. I know my GPA isn't great, but I'm hoping that there are options out there for me. Anyone know of any colleges I should be targeting?

Absolutely, there are several colleges that you might consider. Community colleges and certain online institutions often have open-enrollment policies, meaning they accept any high school graduate or GED holder regardless of GPA.

Four-year institutions such as Weber State University in Utah and Delta State University in Mississippi typically have minimum GPA requirements lower than 2.5 and are known for their accessibility.

Vocational or trade schools also present a great opportunity to learn a specialized skill and typically have lower GPA requirements, if they have any at all. For example, Culinary Institute of America, a renowned culinary school, has a minimum GPA requirement of 2.0.

Here's a short list of 4-years schools that, according to their admissions criteria, admits students with GPAs around 2.0:

- University of Pikeville (Kentucky)

- University of Texas - Rio Grande Valley

- Montana State University - Billings

- Northern State University (South Dakota)

I'd recommend reaching out to these schools to learn more about their programs and admission process. You may also consider improving your GPA if possible, or focusing on demonstrating other strengths in your application such as extracurricular involvement or compelling essays. Best of luck with your college search!
