Thinking about going to college, in the coming years? Nervous that your dream school won’t accept you’re GPA? Apprehensive about applying because you’re unsure you’ll make the cut? No need to fret, Voices from the Trail has put together a list of California universities and colleges based on GPA to ease those worries.
While GPA’s are important, a high GPA is not the only requirement for getting into college. Many universties look at many other requirements for acceptance. Other requirements include ACT/SAT scores, community service hours, and extracurricular activities – these all play an important role in the acceptance process as well. Colleges want the most well-rounded students, so be sure to make your application as stunning as you can.
