Now, I am looking for honest opinions, don't be a dickwad and call me a dumbass or some shit. Is this an OK score. I don't plan on going to a BIG SCHOOL, I'm staying local, maybe GEORGIA SOUTHERN (great school), Coastal Georgia, Georgia State, Valdosta State, etc. Some school along these lines.
I don't want to be a genius, I don't want to go to a big school, I don't want to have straight A's. I'm a normal kid, who just wants to have a good time, and get somewhere in life.
Now, do you think, most schools, around the same size I said above, will accept me.
Now, I've searched on all the school sites, saw their requirement SAT scores, and for most of them I would be good.
I'm just asking you, the NGU community, do you personally think it's good. I'm just an average joe. Not einstein

You must not be in high school yet or something. GPAs are very misleading in high school. People can take easy classes and cheat and get a 3.9, while a smart kid takes hard classes and gets a 3.6. Also in High School, you know what tests are on and shit, the SAT is just an exam over everything in high school. And the GPA will help the MOST. Unless he's going to a huge university, they don't care much about your SAT to be quite honest. Like I said before, they just want your money...
I'm actually in high school, I just wouldn't imagine someone cheating to get a good GPA because I don't know anyone who does that.

it's not "cheating". it's a term used for someone who takes 'easier' classes, to raise their GPA. ie: Here, we are required 4 CORE classes (lit,math,sci,ss) per year, as every school in the country is, obv. Then we have 2 ELECTIVE classes (gym,computer, etc); a non core class. Most people, who are carrying lower GPAS (>3.0) will take (gym) twice (two free A's), instead of maybe (business) which might be harder for them, where they might get a C, and instead of two C's, they get two A's; essentially raising their GPA.
it's not cheating at all, it's just wanting to make your self look higher in your class.
Like me, I have my 4 CORE Classes. ( AS OF RIGHT NOW MY GRADES ARE)
Statistics (MATH) - 91
American LIT - 93
American History - 83
Chemistry - 79
Tennis- 100
Business Essentials - 100
Obv, tennis is a 'easy' class, but I've taken everything thing else, done my foreign languages, done computer apps, done gym/health, so I figure I take tennis, have a good time. I guess you could say I did it for the free A. But MOST likely, I would have an A in my other ELECTIVE class.
