are these scores good enough to get into the college i want to go to?

I currently have a 2.5 cumulative GPA, but I scored a 28 on the ACT. Obviously, im not an idiot. I just have a natural aversion to homework lol. If I apply early, would I be able to get into Ball State University with these numbers? Im also on the football and baseball teams at my high school, so ive got the well rounded part down lol.

    I don't know. You really should work on your GPA, but you definitely have a shot. Like you said, you are not an idiot, and you are definitely capable of achieving grades well above C's (and still having a great time, hanging out with friends, playing sports, and partying). You might just make yourself proud and it is always good to try your best in order to keep doors open for opportunities in the future. The economy is failing, and finding jobs is only getting harder. You need to be competitive and the earlier you start working hard the better! You seem like a smart kid! Good scores, good athlete, and hey, the average C student wouldn't use the word aversion. Make the most of your intelligence. I really hope you get in because you seem intelligent enough, I just hope that you can take yourself a little more seriously.

    Good luck!

    As from what I've learn in others' posts, you might have an excessively prime threat in any respect besides for BU established to your stats. Now, I have not checked College Board or the BU internet site related to genuine SAT ratings, however I could propose that, if viable, you attempt to elevate your SAT rating just a bit or take the ACT and spot if you happen to do greater. Your SAT rating is not ever horrible (actually, it is alternatively well), however the extra you'll broaden your rating, the greater threat you might have at securing admission. Your G.P.A. could be very authentic and so long as you maintain up the difficult paintings and take difficult categories, I do not see any disorders. Now, onto the main aspect of your software: your essays. From private revel in I have observed that your essays make or holiday you. In essence, if one in all your essays is actually one-in-a-thousand, your possibilities of admission sky rocket. Make them real customary and attention-grabbing, in order that if for a few purpose you're at the boarder of being admitted/rejected, you are going to have proof for why they must receive you. Best of good fortune. Went by way of this procedure final 12 months.
