From what I understand it is easy to getAug 12 2011Psychology
From what I understand it is easy to get in there I met many students with poor GPA's and lower test scores. I was a transfer from TCC. I had a 3.2 GPA, but I had strong recommendations and undergraduate research experience. I honestly should have applied to a higher caliber school. Take my advice aim higher then ODU, there standards are not that exceptional
SAT: 1250 Female
The school does has a pretty good Engineering TechnologyJul 19 2011Mechanical Engineering
The school does has a pretty good Engineering Technology program. Some of the younger professors in the Eng. Tech program are excellent teachers...they push you to do your best but don't leave you hanging at the same time. The Mechanical Eng. Tech department is very good.

I am an out-of-state student so I believe thatJun 10 2011Unknown
I am an out-of-state student so I believe that heightened my chances of attending this school. They only care about money and any way they can receive money. They have added useless additions to the campus rather than investing in necessary things. I would recommend just being out-of-state to qualify most for this school.
