<p>I've been a complete bum these past years of my life, and I don't particularly regret it, but my future is now going to pay for it. My GPA was fifty from the bottom of my class at the last time I checked. I'm not involved in any sports, nor have I ever. My writing skills are almost mediocre, so my essay to get into a college might strike up some extra worth. I haven't taken the SATS. Are there any schools in PA or near PA into which I can get? Community College is out of the question, and so is the DeVry Institute.</p>
<p>Why is CC out of the question?</p>
<p>penn state?</p>
<p>Take the SATs in January, apply to schools like Cabrini, Hofstra, chestnut hill, west chester, widener, immalcuta</p>
<p>Does Penn State accept just about anyone to their sub-campuses? What about Ursinus, Loyola, Drew U, Juniata, Allegheny, Kalamazoo, Hendrix, Guilford, St. Olaf, maybe even Bucknell? Or are these also out of reach? I really don't know.</p>
<p>maybe rider in nj, or kean</p>
<p>What about Bloomsburg, Kutztown,or satellite to Penn State?</p>
<p>50 cent: Bucknell would definitely be out of reach</p>
<p>Any Pa state school...</p>
<p>West Chester, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock, Millersville, Cal U P, Indiana U P, Edinboro, Lock Haven, Bloomsburg, East Stroudsburg, etc. Each have their own specialties and most/all are in a rural/subarban setting</p>
<p>But...take the SATs! Also, look into York College...a few people in the lower end of my graduating class ended up there...</p>
<p>If your school offers guidance counselling, you should definitely try talking to one of them -- that's what they're there for -- I'm sure they'd be able to point you in the right direction, since they undoubtedly have a great deal of experience with cases similar to yours. I think most public schools offer this service. And keep in mind that you can always transfer to a better school after your first year of college -- I think everyone here at College Confidential would agree that starting at a CC or a DeVry or a similar low-end facility is better than not starting college at all.</p>
<p>Also, if you are a resident of Bucks County, Pa...Bucks County Community College is an excellent community college that has superb placement into four-year universities all over the country...I know you aren't looking for a CC but, it is on par with many of the state schools in Pa...</p>
<p>Food for thought...out of all of the applicants from many schools (including Penn) for transfer admissions at UCLA last year, the only student to be accepted from a Pa school was from Bucks...</p>
