I graduated with a 3.1, virtually no extra curricular activity's, 1410 SAT (disregarding the essay and bullshit writing section that no colleges care about) and several years of work experience(granted it was mostly fast food lol). I got into Lehigh, drexel, pitt, got wait listed at northeastern and got into UD(going in as a cs major for all of them). I'm not really sure how difficult those schools are to get into and everything but I'm just saying you don't have to go to community college just because you got a lower gpa. Granted I also went to a private school so that might have helped me a bit with the lower gpa but apply to these places anyway and bust your ass until it's over. My girlfriend graduated with a 4.3, mad extracurricular activities, took mad ap classes and shit and made drexel the best school she applied to because she choked on the SAT's and thought that would make other schools not take her. She could have definitely gone somewhere better (I mean I'm glad she didn't but the point remains the same).
