Easy College to Get Into

I think UH Downtown...and San Jacinto College both have a policy of if you can lift the tuition check you are ably qualified. She might have to do some placement testing though.

 

I thought Texas Southern had an open door admissions policy. As long as you graduated high school, I was under the impression that they would take your money.

 

I think UH-Downtown accepts anyone who has a pulse.

If you're a classics major, they might even waive that requirement.

 

This is true. It's called OPEN ADMISSIONS. www.uhd.edu, click on International Admissions in the Admissions menu.

 

The local community colleges might be a good choice as well. I don't know how they price for people coming in from out of the country, but they have to be cheaper than other University based educations.

That way she can try out some classes cheaply, get acclimated to the US learning environment, and also try to raise her grades as much as possible and possiblty apply to a better University down the road.

Also, does she even have to transfer her grades from overseas? Maybe it woudl be easier to start fresh with 0 credits but also a clean grade point average. If she failed 7 classes on 2 years, she can't have that many credits already anyways.

Maybe take 2 years of community college, get super grades, then transfer to a good University.

I could be crazy and have no idea what I'm talking about, but maybe its worth it to look into it.

 

Try A&M.

 

She's a white person, right? Wouldn't it be better for her to be alive when she graduates??

 

She could get cap'd by UT, head over to UTSA for a year, and then transfer to Austin for her sophomore year.

 

Not everyone gets automatically cap'd. Grades in high school must be somewhat decent to even get in that program. Best bet is to go to CC and transfer to a bigger school.

 

I am running an education fair on Sept 24th and there will be representatives from most major colleges in Texas along with the community colleges and tech schools. We'll also discuss stuff on financial aid, scholarships, SATs and what not. The event will be in Chinatown and it's geared towards Asians. At the same time, there might be some good information there that you guys can use. Email me if you're interested at ombern@yahoo.com/

 

Yeah, UHD has open admissions, but not open graduation. They have a 50% attrition rate in the first year. Just b/c you are in a college doesnt mean that you will do well.

"UHD is the most diverse comprehensive university in Texas and the second most in the western United States.



UHD is the fourth Top Public Comprehensive College in the West. (i.e., focus primarily on undergraduate education, but grant fewer than 50% of their degrees in liberal arts disciplines.)"

I got that quote from a source at US news. Seems like they have something going on.

 

Harvard. Definitely Harvard.

 

Good stuff, BenignDMD, but it also means that most students coming into UHD may transfer out to go on to receive degrees in other places. We have Masters programs in Criminal Justice and Education now, and are researching MMBAs.

 

South Harmon Institute of Technology

 

TSU
Prairie View A&M
HCC
Wharton County JC

 

That isn't a cool thing to say. There are whites at the school and they are currently working actively to diversify. Plus, it isn't too nice to say that students at an historically black school would do violence to outsiders.

 

Don't forget Blinn JC. That's like getting into A&M.
