It's is not difficult to get into this schoolAug 19 2016Accounting
It's is not difficult to get into this school at all. If you have high enough grades/SAT scores you may get into the honors dorm and honors classes which I extremely recommend if possible.

I was a very average high school studentDec 29 2015English
I was a very average high school student. This school has an 88% acceptance rate; chances are that you will get in. But if you value a real education, and have interests other than getting too wasted to function everyday of the week, seek a better university.

SAT is all that matters really: WV is poorDec 04 2014Engineering Department
SAT is all that matters really: WV is poor so its not hard to get into, however the colleges themselves have very very strict requirements i.e engineering you can not get more than 2 C's and you must have a 2.75 gap to get into your program, except some engineering disciplines are 3.5+. Med school you need to have a 4.0 basically.

The thing is they let you in to get your money for tuition but then they don't let you in your program if your grades are low.
SAT: 1850 Male
