Tips mention: Interview (5), ACT/SAT (20), Grades (23), Sports/Extracurriculars (4), College Essay (2)
You will need to bring everything you did inMar 20 2010Fine Arts - Painting/Sculpture/Photography/etc
You will need to bring everything you did in high school. Nothing should be spared for your interview. Be prepared to have what you view as a lousy interview; they do that to everyone.
ACT: 31 Male
Fill out the applicationApr 01 2008Psychology
Fill out the application. If you're in the top of your class and qualify to get into the Honors College, fill out that application. It's worth it. You get priority registration for the rest of the time you're in college and it makes a HUGE difference! If you have really good grades and qualify for the Medallion scholarship, interview. You get money just for interviewing AND you get to fill out a goldenrod app, which is only one page and super easy.
ACT: 30 SAT: 1270 Female
If you are an above average student but doApr 21 2004Accounting
If you are an above average student but do not want the clamor of UofM or MSU, I recommend enrolling in the Lee Honors College and going through the Thesis process. It is great for job interviews and sets you apart from the rest of the thousands of other students.
ACT: 28 Female
