My average GPA for the first quarter is:

I would need to raise my GPA to have a better chance of getting into Vanderbilt University. For the three remaining universities, Drexel, of Tampa and Rider I have the right GPA.

From this exercise, I was able to see that there are several different colleges that have the things I want and there are far more colleges that I still haven't looked at. When the time comes to pick a college, I now know that there is a large variety of choices.
