I was wondering what schools within UT have the easiest admissions requirements? Anyone have their names and their specs ? Considering you are not going straight in from highschool and will have college completed.
i can personally attest to that - i majored in history and geography and did the teacher certification program at ut. go for liberal arts .geography falls under that - not necessarily "easy a's", but pretty close. my geography gpa was about a letter higher than history. a minus vs. b minus. education is probably the easiest degree to get for a b.a. but unless you are planning to teach i wouldnt even bother with the program. i dont know how hard it is to get in now - i went from 97 - 00. i think the semester i got in was the last one before admissions standards changed - you have to now write essays, i believe? i just transfered right in after a few years of community college. and a 12 hour semester was like $1100. i think it got up to $1600 when i finished in 2000. i hear it is over $5000 now? when you have to take a dump at school i highly recommend the red mccombs buisness school! the liberal arts poopers are nasty.
UT generally has set enrollments for ppl with a specific GPA. If you are transferring from another school, all you need is a certain GPA and you get in regardless. For business its 3.8 or higher. Not sure about the rest though, but is lower for other schools.
The business school is almost entirely GPA/SAT oriented. (in fact I think those are the only criteria they use) The rest of the colleges are much more flexible, they actually read your essays and teacher recommendations. Liberal Arts is the easiest to get into, in terms of the colleges. (although I'm not sure about education) I'd say the ranking goes (from easiest to hardest) 1. Liberal Arts 2. Natural Sciences 3. Engineering 4. Business 5. Communication (like I said, I don't know how education, music, nursing, etc.. fit into this picture)
I was looking for some sort of inflammatory post that would have had this thread moved into D&D-land... but I don't see anything. Maybe this would fit better in the Hangout.
All of them are easy. And to make this D&D worthy, I'll go ahead and add that the requirements are even easier if your father is Kenyan, mother is white, and your name is Barack Hussein Obama.
I know this is hard to understand for someone who's looking at colleges, but you are going about this completely backwards. You should be choosing a major first, and then deciding which University to attend. The University you choose will affect the next 4-6 years of your life. The major you choose will affect the next 20. If you don't know what you want to do, start with General Studies and decide in a year or two. The program's admissions requirement is should be no factor. If you can't get into the program you want at UT, you'll be much happier getting the degree you want from Cougar High (for example) than getting a degree you don't want from UT.
