<p>hi i am thinking of applying to one of these three college's university or Missouri, Washington university,saint louis university. which application process is easier? no when i was in high school i took all special ed classes due to a learn disability am not sure if that would effect my chance's of getting in to any of them. i have not taken the act's i've been out of high school for five years. and my class rank was 389 out of 463 and my gpa was 2.08. so any suggestions.?</p>
<p>Washington University would be out of the question-that college is extremely, extremely difficult to get into for even a 4.0 GPA student. The other two would be slightly easier to get into, but your stats are low (I'm sure a learning disability would play a fairly significant factor in admissions though, so you might have at least a chance at Saint Louis University). Without SATs/ACTs, I don't really know how that works. You might want to consider other colleges that don't require such things. Good luck</p>
<p>Hi, I would suggest looking into Missouri State University in Springfield or Southeast Missouri State in Cape Girardeau. </p>
<p>Both offer service for students with learning disabilities, and they also accept non-traditional/adult students. </p>

<p>Joshu, Saint Louis Univeristy has a school of Professional Studies. That might be what you are looking for. Most likely Mizzou would have something similar. I would call their admissions departments and they can give you the correct advice about each of their schools/admissions and what you need to do next.</p>
<p>i plan on going into web/graphic design.</p>
<p>If I can offer some "out of the box" advice regarding your career choice: web/graphic design is a fantastic field. I wholeheartedly agree that it can be very rewarding for you. However, I'd advise that you get an objective evaluation of your innate skills (and portfolio if you have one). Many people in the industry do not have (nor require) formal degrees -- many actually work their way up through a semi-apprenticeship in real shops.</p>
<p>If you're bold enough, approach actual professionals and have them give their opinion of your basic skill set. Of course, you won't have had much classroom refinement but being a successful (that is employable) web designer/graphic designer requires core artistic ability, which I'm sure you'll agree.</p>
<p>My brother is an instructor at a fairly prestigious Art school. While many young people are pursuing their dreams and learning new skills, he constantly has to emphasize to them that the day they graduate, they are in competition for jobs/offers/positions with people of his caliber. Day one.</p>
<p>Don't just go to be evaluated at for-profit tech schools -- they want you in the door even if you've never picked up a stylus or drawing pencil. You probably see their commercials during daytime television (be a fashion designer, be a video game designer, etc).</p>
<p>Best of luck to you.</p>
<p>Joshu, also look at Maryville and Central Missouri State. They look like they have some services/programs that might be helpful.</p>
<p>well i am going more for web design since i don't know how to draw well not good at all. I have a little experience in dreamweaver thanks to a continuing ed class i took at a local community college. so this fall i am thinking of applying to hickey or umsl or st louis community college. i still have to take the act's for umsl to bad they don't wavier that for people who have been out of high school for five years like some other colleges. and i want to stay in the st louis area chicago seems to far away. and Maryville seems hard to get into.</p>
