[Foreman]

<p>i'm looking for schools that will provide super cheap/free tuition for someone with low gpa, very few ec's, and high sat scores. is there any schools that will do this?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>Isn’t Cooper Union really hard to get into?</p>

<p>The Cooper Union has an acceptance rate of approximately 10%. Olin is also difficult to get into and the military academies probably aren’t easier either.</p>

<p>

the military academies probably aren’t easier either.

I think that you also have to serve in the military because they’re paying for the education</p>

<p>look at LSU, and Alabama, if u have above 3.0 and a 30 act you are guarenteed free tuition at LSU, and if u have a 3.5 gpa and 32 ACT you can get free tuition at Alabama.</p>

<p>^what happens if your GPA is lower than 3.5, but your SAT is higher?</p>

[adil91]

<p>umm i think u have to have a 3.5 gpa for Alabama</p>

[pierre0913]

<p>look at your state school or local state schools, they may have agreements with your state for lower tuition</p>

<p>That 3.5 can be weighted though, for Bama, I do believe.</p>

<p>Depending on how important not accruing student debt is to you, there are a variety of programs you might be interested in. I believe if you sign up with the military, the GI bill will pay your tuition. Along the same lines, I think if you register for ROTC (requires some sort of service afterwards) they will pay your tuition. There are loan repayment programs as well for after college for nurses and teachers in underserved areas. Also, there are corporate loan repayment programs (I don’t know how companies decide to do this, or if it is even done retrospectively). I believe there are also loan forgiveness programs from various government agencies and charitable causes. I would guess that google is the place to start.</p>

I hope so…

<p>I looked into the Cooper Union. Its extremely difficult to get into, because if you do get in it is free. </p>

<p>Is it true that they do not offer much along the lines of housing etc. after your freshman year?</p>
