[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you didn't say what your GPA was, or what you majored in. Do you think those factors could make a difference?[/quote] 4.0 GPA, thats a given for these rural school. They just aren't that rigorous. Your teachers have degrees from community college + local commuter college. Totally different world than the schools my kids are attending. I majored in engineering -- I needed a major that would allow me to work and support myself after college -- the cost of Med or law school was completely unfathomable. My parents house sold for $60k in 2006; $100ks in loans for professional school? Completely outside my comfort zone. I needed to support myself and escape the rural vortex of my home town. I graduated in 2000, FYI. So not the 70s like PP. [/quote] I know but I graduated in 2003 and I think things are a lot different in college admissions today. I don't think I would get in to my alma mater today. [/quote]
