I want to go to Graduate school yet I have a 2.72 grade point average.. tons of disappointment?
Let me start by saying this..
I was a transfer student going into a larger university and did not have much experience or support in understanding the transition or realizing the importance of getting good grades. My counselors at my school were horrid and I didn't know I was suppose to see an adviser until my Senior year of undergrad.
Basically, I took a ton of courses in which had no relation to my major or was even remotely necessary. It was a learning experience for sure and I am hear now looking into Graduate schools I can potentially apply to once I am done with undergrad (taking ONE course now to finish).
Here are some quick stats about undergrad that could be a potential reflection of my course work
*2.72 GPA *Withdrew 2 courses *Failed 1 course *took me 2 extra years to complete undergrad
Based on what you see here, do you believe my chances of GETTING INTO a graduate school are slimmer now? I've done nearly 4 years of nonprofit's
Thoughts?

It depends on what subject you hope to study at the grad level, and if you're after a masters or a PhD. For example, if you want a masters in a science, you won't get in, period. Your GPA is too low, most programs set a minimum of a 3.0 to even consider you, and most won't admit below a 3.5 or so. But if you're looking at MBA programs, then maybe. So you can see how this varies.
