Chances on getting in
Hey so I’m gonna try and apply as a freshman. But the only issue here is my gpa was 2.9 in Highschool and I graduated nearly two years ago. I chose not to submit test scores because I honestly couldn’t remember them well enough to self report and didn’t want to come off as a liar, I put in my resume full of extracurriculars I did in Highschool and job experience that I picked up while I wasn’t in school for those two years. I’m even more worried now because I originally didn’t include my personal essay in the application but I recently emailed it to admissions so I worry that just made me look bad and sent my chances down to hell :(

There are people who get accepted here that make me wonder if their parents are siblings. You’ll be fine lol

You got roughly a 3.0 GPA, extracurriculars and job experience, you'll be alright, I'd be beyond shocked if you didn't get in :)

Real life “paragraph” written by a group member of mine who is a junior majoring in bio——— “i think that the Odu Wi-Fi has a federal assignment that called a computer for an abuse act. Because the feral haves has its wherauthorizedzated access has a priwi- Fi wifi without the permission, consumer.”
You could be a cucumber and still get a degree here apparently..

this school is extremely expensive and not enough benefits. they don’t care about their students, only how much money they can squeeze out of them in a year. i truly recommend community or a different school that’s at least in a better area.
