(best not to go this route)</p>

<p>I want to major in psychology or idk not sure. But im going to be premed. Any advice on schools would be great :)</p>

<p>EDIT: Oh yeah im a Texas resident so anywhere in texas is fine! out of state is cool too though I doubt I can get anywhere besides texas with my grades haha</p>

<p>bump…oh and I have kept a job for 3 years</p>

<p>Bumpppppppp</p>

<p>okay, so i’m stuck here. i like both schools but i don’t know which one would be better. i was thinking of doing something in the medical feild like getting a BSN or doing the pre-med program but if i change my mind i’m going to major in accounting. i just want to go to a school where i can get a good college experience and have fun</p>

<p>nathanator-
U Texas Austin might be a reach.</p>

<p>I don’t believe he listed UT Austin.</p>

<p>Nathanator, I’d put UTSA a bit on the reachy side. What are you interested in studying? What part of Texas interests you? There are a lot of college options for you in Texas.</p>

<p>well idc where in texas and I want to study psych and be pre med.</p>

<p>and utsa a reach? they pretty much except anyone…and tech and utsa have assured admission based on rank and sat scores. I make the cut for assured admission. I just need to know what else is out there</p>

<p>bump I need help…</p>

<p>…bump</p>

<p>2.5 GPA is not very good.</p>

<p>university of houston perhaps, but you might also want to reconsider community college for a year or two and then transfer, you could get into a much better school. For example austin community college for 2 years then transfer to UT</p>

<p>Oh wow, yeah your GPA is not good at all. Do you have any ideal what you would like to attend school for? Also are you in a financial situation or would be able to afford paying 25,000+?</p>

<p>I see, your going to do pre-med. Well you can look at Wayne State University ( though right in downtown Detroit, not good), their medical school is more popular. I can suggest more, though first I would need to know your financial situation.</p>

<p>my parents income is around 80k a year but they arnt helping me pay for college at all haha i’m on my own</p>

<p>and I really don’t see why community college is a option if some of the schools offer assured admission based on my rank and sat. and my scores make the cut…</p>

<p>bumpppppppppppppppppppppppppppp</p>

<p>Maybe ASU or U of A?</p>
