NEOUCOM for Fall 2009 Thread

<p>Good luck to all of you who applied to NEOUCOM. Every year many people ask me the same question. Obviously Akron is the first choice, followed by Kent and then YSU. If you can avoid YSU, avoid at any cost. If you cannot, then take whatever you get. Do not pick a school just because it is closer to your home or you know someone who is associated with the school. Analyze carefully their courses, especially BCPM. Ask why YSU takes more than 35 students. Reason is more failures at YSU, no experienced coordinator and no help for you. Ask them how many students dropped out each year because of bad grades or other reasons/ These are very important when you choose a school.</p>

<p>your friend.</p>

<p>Please explain your ranking of Akron, Kent & YSU. </p>

<p>Hope you got through the program.</p>

<p>drfromysu,</p>

<p>What is BCPM?</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math</p>

<p>YAY!!! Got acceptance into KENT STATE!!! I really wish good luck to you guys!!! :heart:</p>

<p>i’m an alternate for the program</p>

<p>Congratz Asian. Supersweet, towards April, I hear a few alternates usually get chosen, not exactly sure how it works though, plus I saw your last post that you are out of state so I don’t know how that plays out for the list either.</p>

<p>Supersweet: I have an interview for a program at OSU soon. If I get in, then you can have my spot at NEOUCOM!!! Win-Win situation!!! :)</p>

<p>ahah ty asian aussie but i dont think it works that way ;-)</p>

<p>ohhh awesome congrats Supersweet!!! I can’t believe this college trek has come to a close so fast!!!
Update where you guys end up!!!</p>

<p>UAkron: Where is the 6K scholarship for Nat. Merit Finalist? </p>

<p>I saw the following scholarships that offer for freshman (2008-2009) on Feb/11/09 from website "<a href="http://www.uakron.edu/admissions/undergraduate/financial_aid/scholarship.dot"&gt;http://www.uakron.edu/admissions/undergraduate/financial_aid/scholarship.dot&lt;/a&gt;"

  1. General Scholarships = [1, 6] K
  2. National Merit Finalist = 6K
  3. Honors Scholarships [500, Full Ride]</p>

<p>But I can’t find them today in the same website.</p>

<p> I wonder whether UAkron still offers any of above scholarships for freshman (2009-2010), especially “National Merit Finalist = 6K”</p>

<p> If you did apply for "National Merit Finalist” scholarship, did you send

  1. “COLLEGE CHOICE: REPORT OR CHANGE” Form (UAkron is not in the list of college sponsors) or
  2. The copy of your Nat. Merit Finalist</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Never mind!</p>

<p>After contacting UAkron, those scholarships info is moved to other website, & UAkron still offers all of them!</p>
