I need some advice!

My GPA is a 2.8, I want to raise it and with all the math I did- I calculated that I can raise it to about to a 3.2.

Is that good enough for college.

Its good enough for some colleges, try looking into state colleges like Kansas State or even a great college would be Colorado University. But all community colleges will for sure take you in :)

It's important to note that many colleges practice holistic admissions, meaning they consider the entire application -- everything about you -- rather than just grades alone. Considering your GPA is a little on the low side, you can make up for it with amazing extracurricular, hobbies, skills, as well as harder exams.

Many community colleges will take anyone and not care about GPA– so long as you graduate high school, there is a college somewhere that will accept you.

It really depends on the college, it's definitely good enough for community colleges and lower ranged state schools, but you probably won't be able to get into highly ranked schools, which is perfectly OK. College looks different for everyone, find the path that makes the most sense for you.
