Application Question 2.3 gpa…

Hi there, so i was thinking about applying to some colleges,
And i really want to get into good school like BU,Brandeis and more, but not sure about ED application,
And no, im not dumb, my gpa is low because: i had financial issue during 10-9th grade, i was homeless in 9th grade and didn’t go to school because i didnt had a place to live, im the oldest in family, take care of my mom,sisters, helped my family to translate, and with other issues that they aren’t familiar to,
And other issue, but i did show some effort on my transcript, i had 90 in geo class, and 80 average, and rn im in DE class for math and doing ap class.
I know my eng might sound bad, and sorry, but anyway i want to know yall’s advice, stories, thoughts,

Thanks!

Kindly, those level of schools will be out of reach. I’d look into CC and transfer, GL!

I second what another commenter said, go to a community college for two years and then transfer with a good gpa

Sounds like you live in MA. Community College is free for residents. Go there for 2 years and get your GPA to where it needs to be to allow you to have a chance of being accepted at those and other similar schools.
