Can I get into Michigan State University?
I have always wanted to go to Michigan State University, but I am worried I might not get in. Here are my credentials: I have a 3.22 GPA, and a 23 ACT (retake score pending). I have recommendations from teachers, a University of Michigan-Dearborn professor, and a few people in the Michigan House of Representatives. I have 100 volunteer hours. I am Captain of the Varsity Wrestling Team and on the JV Cross Country Team. I had an internship in the House of Representatives and an internship with the University of Michigan professor. I was on Student Council and received a Leadership Award, a Science Fair Honorable Mention, a Varsity Letter Award, and I am on the Honor Roll.

Other colleges like Ball State University?
I hear ball state is a great university to go to and its pretty easy to get admitted into, is there other colleges like ball state?

But now I decided I am going to do college so now i am doing good in my psychology course and i have 3 more coming this fall.
Did anyone go to Kent State University? What was it like?
I went there for my PhD. Because I wasn't there as an undergrad, I didn't experience most of what would be considered the “college experience.” I never lived in the dorms, ate in the dining hall, or participated in student government, clubs, sports, or other aspects of student life. I didn't even experience most of the buildings on campus, because as a doctoral student, almost all of my classes took place in one building, and were taught by one of half a dozen faculty.What I can say is that KSU has a beautiful campus. It is quite large, and is spread up the side of a hill. Because of this, getting around on campus could be difficult, were it not for the free campus bus system.The location is also nice. Kent is a relatively small town and has the benefits one expects from a small town, such as friendliness off campus as well as on, and a number of privately-owned restaurants, coffee shops and delis, including several near campus that are favorite hangouts for students. At the same time, it is possible to enjoy the advantages of city life in Akron and Cleveland, which are about an hour to an hour and a half away.When I was there (1987–1990), KSU had a good student health center which provided a wide variety of medical services to students, and University Psychological Services, staffed by psychologists and other mental health professionals, which offered psychotherapy and other mental health services to students. In addition, there were two counseling centers where graduate students in psychology and counseling programs, supervised by faculty, offered counseling, testing, and other services. One was in the College of Education, in White Hall, and the other was in the Psychology Department. The campus also has a large, well-stocked library and a museum of fashion.An interesting thing about the campus is the large populatation of almost tame black squirrels - although they aren't really black but a very dark brown, with a reddish cast in sunlight. This type of squirrel is not native to the area. The story I heard was that these squirrels are all descendents of some squirrels brought to campus for research purposes or some other reason many decades ago, and that some were either turned loose or escaped. For whatever reason, they took over the area completely from the native gray squirrel. After decades of interacting with college students, they are quite tame, and will come quite close to beg for food. Some will even eat from someone's hand.
Youngstown state university?
Those are your curriculum plans. They have been designed consistent by your respective field counselors to have the easiest time per semester with a balance or hard/easy classes. It is simply a WISE suggestion, but you do not have to take the classes in that order. Also, you want to note the pre-requisites for each class before switching them around. You have two types of electives. Recommended electives broadening your knowledge on your own degree. Free electives picking absolutely anything you want. Whether you and your boyfriend take class together does not depend on what majors you are. If you two have to take the same class (english, for example), you can take the same section together. But, as a freshman, your schedule is given to you for your first semester. You can however call your respective counselors and ask if there are any open spaces in other sections claiming that the time is inconvenient. You can also take the time to switch classes should you want to. Also, don't get a minor in mechanical engineering that you are never going to use just because your boyfriend is studying it. Use up those extra credits on something that enriches your current major. I had my fun with basic classes with my boyfriend. He's taking his core computer business courses and I'm taking my core mechanical engineering courses now.
What is the University of Maine, Fort Kent like? What is fort kent like?
i can tell you a little about fort kent itself but not the universiy---fort ikent is right at absolute top of maine and right on the canadian border--its a very small town with only a few thousand full time residents (around 4000 to be exact)...its in a part of maine known as "the county"--pretty much just hundreds of miles of forest and not much else---if you like the outdoors you might like fort kent but personally i think its too out in the middle of nowhere ---you can get into quebec easily from there though but that part of quebec is just as desolate--not near montreal or quebec...personally i would go to UMAINE at farmington or orono before i woulf go to fort kent---fort kent is just way too far away from anything and the small town of fort kent wouldnt hold my interest long enough
Will I be able to get into a private college?
I didn't do well my freshman year, I did okay my sophomore year, and I did well my junior year. I got a 2.1 freshman year, a 2.8 sophomore year, and this past year I got a 3.8 (almost straight As, just one B). My cumulative GPA is a 2.4 which is really bad, but what advice do you have? I want to go to a private school. Thanks in advance.
What are the disadvantages of doing MS in cs in a low university like NJIT or Stevens instead of high universities like NCSU or Syracuse?
At NJIT I had several problems. On paper the curriculum is the same: data structures, networking protocols, operating systems, etc. And it was challenging. But compared to my experience at UPenn it was disappointing.Start with the staff: financial aid, bursar, registrar, academic advising. UPenn was a well-oiled machine. I never noticed it. NJIT was a disaster. The financial aid office had so many SNAFUs, every semester, I mean EVERY, my aid was delayed for some reason or another. Academic advising was so off base I am lucky I graduated at all. Also UPenn offfered supplemental loans beyond federal financial aid so I never had to worry about money. Staff was the biggest discrepancy.Then there is the faculty. Upenn was ruthless in its pursuit of pedagogical excellence. Of my instructors, three of the six I had were terminated after I left because they had poor student reviews. And they were the best I ever had. At NJIT, the professors didn't care. They had their tenure. Some were really easy, some were ruthlessly hard, some didnt care, and all seemed distracted, with consulting side gigs or research. They all seemed depressed to be there. It was hit and miss, and no one seemed to care. Quality control was missing.But NJIT was a state school, slightly less expensive. Also it was easier to enter; I got into the masters program with a liberal arts degree and no GRE. But value per dollar, you get your moneys worth not at the affordable school but at the elite school.But in the end I learned enough at NJIT to get a job, not that much different than what I would have had after UPenn. In fact, my degree in city planning at Upenn never turned into a career while my NJIT degree landed me a career before I left school. But maybe if I went to a top school for CS I would be at a FANG company rather than where I am now. But salary wise I am getting paid comparably. Also NJIT has excellent research opportunities and computing resources. And the curriculum was the same, same textbooks and rigor. Just poorly executed.If you can get into an elite CS program I would do that. Go to the best school you can get into. But after school, you dont need a fancy degree to become a programmer; any degree will do.
I have a 2.7 GPA and a 22 ACT. What Universities, not community colleges could i get into? no no-name schools?
Hi Cody Time to get real. With a mediocre ACT score and a less than mediocre GPA, I can safely tell you that no big-name schools are interested. Good luck to you EDIT - A few follow-up comments. - You are definitely not in a position to make any condescending judgments about community colleges and the state regional schools. There are many reasons to attend either or both. - It is obvious that you are not into academia. Why are you even considering college? Adjust your attitude and explore artisanal occupations. We need good furniture makers, tech experts in all fields, electrical contracts and the like a lot more than another mediocre liberal arts major competing for a management job at McDonalds.
