Barrett College at ASU

College Search & Selection

<p>I was offered a full scholarship for Barrett at ASU, and I am trying to decide whether or not to attend. I also received a scholarship for the Honors College at UA, but as of right now, I am leaning towards Barrett. Can anyone tell me the major differences between the two programs, what these colleges are like, which one I should choose, if I shouldn't bother with either of the schools, etc.? Any and all information you have is appreciated; I'm just trying to get a feel for both schools. Thanks</p>

<p>Also, I am thinking about going into medical school, so which of these schools would be the best for me?</p>

<p>Are there college GPA minimums to maintain the scholarships?</p>

<p>3.0 is not likely to be that big a deal, but 3.5 would likely require careful GPA management, similar to what pre-med and pre-law students have to do. So if the school would not be affordable on need-based aid alone if you lost the scholarship, consider this very carefully.</p>

<p>For med school, see the sticky thread on the PreMed Topics forum about choosing an UG college.</p>

<p>Barrett doesn’t have a required GPA maintenance, but you need a certain GPA to graduate:</p>

<p>Although not super recent, this thread does the comparison/contrast between the two honors programs</p>
