No, colleges like 3.5 or higher. Harder colleges prefer 4 or higher.
YES!
A 2.87 cumulative GPA would be the equivalent of a C+ letter grade on a 4.0 scale.
Sounds like you've got a good chance at both, granted you have good test scores (above 20 ACT, 25 and up would be nice for U of M), extra-curricular activities, and/or AP classes or credits.
Your chances will hinge mostly on your class rank, not your absolute GPA or even your ACT scores (although you want to have a score above 25) ... at some high schools, a 3.6 may be in the top 1% but at other places a 3.6 may be just a bit above average.
It depends on how many grades were involved in you having a GPA of 3.7 before you made the 5 A's. The more classes you had to get the 3.7, the less the 5 A's will effect your new GPA. You have a GPA of 3.7
I think it is mainly just a 25 ACT. The gpa has to be above 2 but 2.5 or above should be a guarantee
A Low GPA may result in you not getiing accepted into a selective college. This will directly effect your career, and you may not get a good job. Some colleges (known as liberal arts colleges) only bases their admissions 25% on your GPA. These colleges are private colleges, usually about 32 Thousand or so a year, and are for people who wish to explore many majors.

There are no GPA requirements for admission to Binghamton University, however, here is the GPA information from their website... The middle 50% of admitted students have GPAs between 91-96 un-weighted. That means half of their accepted applicants have a 91-96. 25% have below a 91, and 25% have above a 96. In short, 75% of applicants have a 91 and above.
if your scale is on a 100 point scale just divide by 25 because 100/4 is 25 and you have a 3.62 GPA
74% of students who apply get in. 13% had h.s. GPA of 3.75 and higher 16% had h.s. GPA between 3.5 and 3.74 20% had h.s. GPA between 3.25 and 3.49 25% had h.s. GPA between 3.0 and 3.24 26% had h.s. GPA between 2.5 and 2.99 Your gpa is within their range. The range for the ACT is 18-22 so if you are above that it will help offset the gpa. Seems like you have a good shot at it. The school does look at other things such as essays and volunteer work. You are more than just numbers.
You can get a Good Student discount if you meet any one of the four requirements they look for, such as being on the Dean's List, 3.0+ GPA, or being in the upper 20% of your class. You must also be under the age of 25.
