@DrEricaG Glad you like the videos. This is a passion of mine. I think everyone who has the academic ability to thrive in college, and who is willing to work hard to achieve his goals, should have the opportunity to do so.

o ok thanks, apparently my county schools are ranked really high so that helps and hopefully my SAT or ACT will be good scores. One more question though: does ASU look at first semester grades of senior yr, because that can raise my cumilative GPA

[AngelaArnold1]

@thefameGaGa231 Yes, they will look at your first semester senior year grades.

hey im a junior that goes to school in montgomery county so that kinda helps me but i have like a 2.6 gpa cumilative. i want to go to arizona state, can i get in?

@thefameGaGa231 Colleges consider many factors: standardized testing, extracurricular activities, recommendations, college essay, etc. ASU states "Students must meet one of the following aptitude requirements: * 3.0 GPA in competency courses (2.5 - 2.99 considered) * Top 25% (top 26-50% considered) * ACT 22 (24 nonresidents)* * SAT Reasoning 1040 (1110 nonresidents)*"

So, they will consider a 2.6. It depends on the rest of your application package.

Good luck.
