out of state/adult student/military. odds?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill

<p>I am a 32yr old adult student interested in going to UNC with a Info Science major.
My employer (US Coast Guard, active duty) has given me the opportunity to go to any school I could get into for 2 years to finish my bachelors starting fall 06. I intend to use the meantime to take more classes at UH so that I can finish an UNC degree in the 2 yr time frame.</p>

<p>The CG's one stipulation is that it be a techical degree in a computer/technology field.</p>

<p>My SAT score is 1220 (650V/570M) I plan to re-take it in Sept.</p>

<p>I have earned a 4.0 over the 5 classes I have taken here at U. of Hawaii (night classes) in the past coupe of years.
Micro-economics
world civ I and II
Math 110 (college alg)
micro-bio</p>

<p>I have also taken a handful of other classes at other school at different duty stations over the years (3.7 GPA).</p>

<p>Back in 90-92 when I was younger I took classes at community college until I dropped out. I "earned" a 2.0 during that time.
Professionaly, I have an excellent record of acheivement in the Coast Guard as leader of an IT staff.</p>

<p>I guess my question is:
what standard does admissions use for adult students? Does work experience count for anything? Would they give less weight to my early college record?
Or am i treated the same as the recent high school grads?
Will a counselor talk to me about what classes i should take to prepare for the IS program even though I am not a student yet?
Thanks,
Mike</p>

<p>you probably won't have any trouble getting into carolina, you'll be considered a transfer so you won't be looked at like all the high schoolers who apply.</p>

<p>now about classes, you don't have an advisor yet since your not a student yet.</p>

<p>If you have any questions you might want to speak with one of the branches at the ROTC detachment. We only have Air Force, Army and Navy so the closest thing I can think of is for you to call navy up and speak with their cadre. they should be able to help you with any questions you got.</p>
