It's trying to be like a&m and ut...2 yrs ago 50% got accepted. Last year 40%... something along those lines. They are trying to change their reputation but it takes time. Give them 2 to 5 years.
Applied to UH and UT Austin. Got accepted to Bauer School of Business and Honors College at UH and was offered a scholarship. I was automatically admitted into UT Austin and was also accepted to Plan II Honors and the McCombs School of Business. Needless to say, I'm going to UT!
I applied to several law schools in the fall. I got accepted into two (sort of last-minute apps), but I decided to wait. Needless to say, my decision paid off. I got into one of my top choices this year.
If you aren't in the top 10% or an athlete, you need an 1100 ish to get into UH (Math and Verbal). The average SAT is going to keep increasing. With more applicants, UH can become selective.
I'm just now starting cc in my late 20's. I'm so nervous since it's been so long i've done any kind of edumacation. I was a terrible high school student. How good of grades will i have to get in order to transfer to a good university?
depends on your university choice and major gpa requirements. you should strive for all a's. i went to lonestar then transferred to uh business.
A major problem with society. Still, while that may be true for some I also think there's a growing contingent that see through the college degree threshold as merely a way of eliminating candidates and find who is truly best for the job. Just like grades don't determine intelligence, the reputation of the school doesn't mean you have a good applicant. Some are blinded by this but a growing number of employers are beginning to see through it. And if you go somewhere with lots of good students, it's easier to get lost in the mix and be an average student while you can be a bigger fish at a smaller pond at other places. For example, a person would have a MUCH higher chance of being editor or having some rank at a newspaper at an HBCU or even Random Direction State than at an Ivy League school and unlike a journalism major at one of the latter schools, the person who went to the former would actually have experience, doing all of this at a much cheaper price than at a more respected school that could leave them in debt and underemployed.
To all graduates, do not, do not take your first semester for granted. Have your fun and all, but don't disregard your GPA. I f****ed up big time, and how having to reap the consequences this semester.
I blew off my freshman requirements and took the classes I wanted to take. When it came time to go to graduate school, I had to spend the summer taking a couple of courses with freshmen and barely graduated in time. Just get it out of the way.
That first semester is a killer. It's almost a good idea to take more classes than normal to keep yourself busy or on the flip side take fewer if you're less mature so you can have more time to do "collegy" stuff that you're first exposed to.
It depends on what you want to do. Engineering majors generally have lower GPAs, liberal arts majors or kines. or some other easy majors typically have students with higher GPAs. If you want to go to law school you deff. need a high GPA and for med school I know its typically 3.7 and up + a good MCAT score. Regardless, try to maintain above a 3.5.
#(Yall best accept me because if you don't its a clear indication that you have a problem with principle #trying to bring awareness to the cause yo. (I don't use twitter so hopefully thats close?)
