“To get into the university I simply applied andAug 18 2010Psychology
To get into the university I simply applied and did the essays. I already had a pretty decent ACT and good grades. I also had a lot of extracurricular activities and community service. I think that helped a lot with getting in. I would recommend that if you feel you might have a chance of getting rejected that you apply early. Most students who apply very early into their senior year (within the first month) get accepted. It helps to have good letters of recommendations from teachers. I know that it is getting more competitive to get in, in terms of grades, so the easiest thing to do is apply early.

I took many high-level courses, including AP courses, as well as having a decent amount of volunteer hours and extra-curricular activities. The academic standards of MSU have drastically risen over the past years, so being an "above average" student with a 3.5 GPA will not easily gain you an admittance into Michigan State University.

I was an undergrad at MSU prior to my arrival at the College of Education. Getting into the college is not challenging, and if you do not mind being academically dishonest you can lie on the entrance essay. They love hearing high minded things, even through you may not (and lets remember they don't either) ever live up to those words.

“To be accepted into one of the Public IvyMay 04 2009Electrical Engineering
To be accepted into one of the Public Ivy universities in America, you will need a high GPA and strong test scores. The strength of the courses you took in high school will be weighted heavily, as well as school activities and volunteer work. Michigan State University will only take those who have shown determination and a will to succeed.
