I basically worked really hard in high school and tried to do alot of community service things in high school. I knew i wanted to go to the best college i could,and I did. I suggest taking a pre-college curriclum, doing lots of extra-curriculars, and taking both SAT and ACT. Even though my gpa was bad, i still got into several colleges, and waitlisted at one. Again my main theme, get involved!

“Not too hard to get into, but if youOct 29 2007Meteorology
Not too hard to get into, but if you are below the school averages for getting in you may find the work rather difficult. Break 1000 SAT and have above a 3.0 and you should get in most programs. If you are considering engineering here or science (all science majors take the same math/science classes as the engineers) get ready for a difficult program! Professors and Teacher's Assistants are always there to help you. Some say "I just feel like a number" but if you take the time to meet with professors and TAs that won't be the case.

Fairly easy to get in. Depending on major, it won't be as easy getting out.
