I have a strong interest in both graphic design type fields, as well as a science and fitness interest in physical therapy.

Slightly larger than Salem, Oregon, this comfortable town has sun 263 days per year! This is a small University with a student population of only 2, 135 students with a distribution of 37% men and 63% women. Student teacher ratio is excellent at 12:1 so there is more individual time for students. There are 87 majors resulting bachelor’s degrees, 31 graduate majors, and 2 associate degrees offered which is quite large considering the size of the student population.
Minimum requirements for admittance are undeniably simple and achievable with a score of 18 on ACT 860 on SAT. Tuition is set at $19, 400 per year. Scholarships offered include the LCU Ambassador (honors ACT of 27 or SAT of 1210), Christian School Scholarship (anyone who graduates from a private Christian school receives $500 per year if you maintain 2.5 GPA), as well as a National Merit Scholarship that the finalist can receive full tuition for all 4 years if a 3.0 GPA maintained.

Santiam Christian has emphasized and matured my Christian values which are a priority when researching colleges. GCU has always been an interest of mine due to the financial incentives for students from our school, scholarship opportunities, volleyball, and is located in a warm climate. In addition, there are incentives and opportunities to visit Grand Canyon University even as a junior, which is of interest to
I would hope to allow myself to distinguish myself from other students and make myself more prevalent and outstanding in my specific classes. As I would like to purse a degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminology, I would like to become an ‘All around Psychologist’ dabbling in numerous sections of the ‘Psychology life.’ It is my belief that this HBCU would give me all mental and educational tools that will aid me in being the best in my chosen field. It is not that I do not like the educational system at my current university, it is just that i feel as though I can excel beyond measures at my new university coming this Spring.

Since BSC is Test Optional, I believe that there should not be a test score requirement. I believe the minimum GPA to apply should be a 2.5. I believe a separated essay and interview should be required for this scholarship. A scholarship committee should produce possible scholarship questions. The deadline shall be February 1st.
* Now accepting applications for Spring, 2005. Interviews are in March and classes are in April and May.

I would like to attend UTK because I heard that it is a great school. The student –faculty ratio is 17:1, and the school has 27.9 percent of its classes with fewer than 20 students. Most of their classes are 20-49 students, that’s the perfect size for me. The Vol Nation really cares about the success of their students and the quality of their education. They offer classes all day at any time and they also have summer courses. That’s a good thing because I’m an early riser and I could take my classes earlier in the day and have time to get all my work done. Since they offer classes during the summer I could take more
FSU is a pretty popular school with an enrollment number of 25,956(Choices, 4). Out of the 25,965 people who enroll 55% are female and 20% are minorities and another 20% are from out of state (Choices, 4). The fact that it's so popular adds to the reason why it's hard to get into FSU. Out of 21,159 applicants only 13,578 get accepted and In order to be accepted SATI and/or ACT tests must be taken and scores of at least a 400-499 on both math and verbal for the SATI test and an 18-23 for the ACT test must be met (Choices, 2-3). Also needed is a 3.0 GPA minimum to get in (Choices, 3). All these requirements factored in set the entrance difficulty level at very difficult (Choices, 2).
“The school has a 69% acceptance rate. Last year, 9,061 out of 13,213 applicants were admitted making XU a moderately competitive school to get into with a strong chance of acceptance if you meet the requirements.” (“college data”). This acceptance rate is very high so I have a higher chance of getting accepted into this college if I meet the requirements needed. According to “CollegeXpress” “the acceptance rate of Texas Southern University is 51%”. In spite of Texas Southern having great GPA requirements to get accepted, their acceptance rate is very low which means it is more competitive to get into the college. Lastly “the acceptance rate of Florida A&M University is 48.9%” (“peterson”). Overall I think Florida A&M University is a great college, but the acceptance rate is too low. Although Florida A&M University has a better track team than Xavier, in fact the college is a Division 1
Most universities require four English credits, at least three math credits, at least two foreign language credits, at least two social studies credits, and at least two laboratory science credits to accept students into the school. However, these schools do look at test scores and students with a musical background do tend to have higher test scores. Additionally, if there is a question between two possible applicants, colleges will look at extracurricular activities. Whichever student has the most impressive list of extracurricular activities is more likely to get accepted than the other.
Bethune Cookman University is a wonderful, loving historical black university. With every positive there has to be a negative. There are many challenges for Bethune Cookman University’s First Time Freshmen. Financial aid is the greatest of all. Being a private institution makes expenses more costly than State Colleges. First Time freshmen paying tuition and/or college loans make money matters at the top financial challenge. Students just coming out of high school do not have a lot of money.Not all students will be ready for the financial hassall, BCU Financial aid department will to put them through. Not many students have saved up enough money even if they have been working since they were younger. In High School, Teens don 't really think about saving for financial difficulty they may run
I have qualified for the dean's list three of the last four semesters, currently carry a 3.59 junior/senior GPA and a 3.75 GPA in my major. I also have been accepted into Psi Chi and belong to the Psychology Club on campus.
... learned at CBU, in addition to ways such as challenging students to grow in their faith while learning. For example, I would suggest that they use ideas and scriptures that they learned in Bible study or in church within the past weeks of assignments. This will help to keep students engaged with the material and faith based concepts that they have learned within the weeks. Also, I think promoting attending CBU or church based activities for assignments can help students learn course material as well as grow in their faith. I believe that faith integration is an important component that CBU offers that many other universities do not. I can honestly speak to how beneficial it was for me to complete my program at CBU. I not only learned a wealth of knowledge in the counseling field but I grew as a Christian, which is something that I wish to pass on to future students.

When making a decision on where to attend college as a working adult with a family, I had to find a college that could accommodate my busy lifestyle. My husband, as a Marion Technical College (MTC) alum, suggested that I give MTC a try and see what they offered. Upon further research and a trip to campus, I quickly realized MTC was the perfect option for me with online classes, helpful staff, affordable tuition, and a convenient location. I started classes in Fall of 2013 and found many additional benefits after becoming a student. I was able to become a member of the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) and am currently the President of the Beta Nu Pi chapter of Phi Theta Kappa. I am actively involved in promotions for Phi Theta
