I didn't do anything to get it in to CoastalNov 24 2011Education
I didn't do anything to get it in to Coastal. I'm a very bad test taker and therefore did not do well on my SATs, and still got accepted. The school doesn't even require an essay, which should have been the first give away that the students are not very bright. Honestly, any one can be accepted to Coastal although I highly recommend that you do not attend.

Practically nothing. I did not even have to write an essay. I simply had to submit a transcript and SAT scores.

If you are from the north and have an ok GPA you are pretty much in. Otherwise you need to have around a B average. Be yourself writing your essay and make sure it is properly written and edited. Extracurriculars don't hurt either.
