I applied?
Not that everyone gets in. I have a friend who works in Admissions and she says it's getting more selective. I think you're definitely good if your SAT is >1200.
Biology
Make sure you have plenty of community service and extra curriculars. Also, work hard in your Junior year of high school...it is crucial.
Business - Management and Administration
Make sure you are up to date with the standards to get in and STAY ON THE ADMISSIONS DEPARTMENT! I applied in February didn't get my acceptance letter until May. They misplaced papers and everything.
Business - Management and Administration
High school keep you grades up and SAT prep course. Transfer students make sure you have at least 30 credits and a 3.0 GPA sothey dont look at your high school transcripts.
Education
The key is to score high on the SAT and keep a good GPA.
| Education
take a look, every school has a different appeal to each individual
English
I had an ok SAT score and a good HS GPA. I didn't do anything special to get in, and since I entered, the college's standards for admission have been raised.
Language - French/Spanish/etc.
TO ALL HIGH SCHOOLERS: I promise you that the test scores are NOT THAT IMPORTANT in getting into ANY college, unless you are so spread in your education that you have no real developed interests. You should meet in person with people from admissions and portray yourself as an eager, self-cultivating type, and that you KNOW that the particular school will be the place to allow you to continue the search and growth. There are WAY too many drones in this world who just want a "degree"; if you aren't just another drone and know it, emphasise that. Further advice: take ANYTHING you want; nothing is "useless" and it's the only time in your life you can learn whatever you want to, full time. Don't worry about getting "job training": that's what internships are for. Don't worry "will I ever use this?" Remember too that a solid four year foundation in ANYTHING that makes you think critically is GREAT; you can lurch in another direction entirely if you wish at the Master's/Law/MBA/Conservatory level after you graduate. Also, if you are struggling to get state university requirements for science and math in high school out of the way and fail consistently, just go around the system by earning at least 30 hours at any community college and applying as a transfer:POOF! None of that SAT, "lab science" or ACT stuff counts anymore! Once at school (here at the Collge of Charleston at least), you can take (expensive) testing to prove you have a learning disability in mathematics and you can take alternatives to math/logic to graduate. And above all, no matter where you choose to go, remember this: Do not be afraid and do not be intimidated. Professors are just people who were once in your place. They WANT you to argue, ask questions and debate. Professors loathe when nobody has questions/comments even if they are prompted. Also, you are not in high school! If someone tries to pull the same immature tricks and head games at this level, by all means scoff at or chide them without reservation. Good luck and don't believe anyone who says "If you take a break you'll never go back!"
PreMed and Medical
Interviewed in person/strong references
Psychology
I had alot of extracurriculars going for me, and a good essay and lots of community service. My grades were not stellar, maybe a C average. I just had alot of outside stuff and great reccomendations. I think they are looking for more than just grades, which is good. But im pretty sure if you have good grades you will get in too!
