"Worst" Colleges

<p>University of Guam</p>

<p>agree that IUP is a good school - not one of the worst.</p>

<p>University of Nevada, Reno is not a bad school in the least bit. Yes it does have a cheap tuition, but that is just a pro to the college. UNR has highly rated programs from many fields available. I dont know why people think that tuition rate shows how good the school is, unless this is a rich snob looking at the school, then no one would want you in Reno anyways. Sorry, but to get back on topic.</p>

<p>From all of my interviews with college students I heard that the California State schools were horrendous with average high school GPAs of 2.6 and academic achievement along those lines, I am sure there are exceptions because some of them are better. And FYI, Cal State schools are not the same as UC schools.</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>

<p>[Also check out US news World and Report, they covered most schools, I think if there isnt a school that was graded, then it might not be too good]</p>

<p>^OP was looking for low admissions standards and low cost. OP wasn’t implying that low tuition means that a school is “bad”.</p>

<p>cheyney university of pennsylvania. nothing about it being a HBC, but the average incoming gpa is 1.85, and a SAT math average of 398.</p>

<p>^^ OP asked this question over a year ago.</p>

<p>I will second Cameron University.</p>

<p>University of Pennsylvania</p>

<p>University of Pennsylvania? Do you mean Penn State?</p>

<p>Mine: Globe University</p>

<p>Johnson & Wales.</p>

<p>Bob Jones University</p>

<p>Oral Roberts University</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>They do not have a 100% acceptance rate. that seems to be an error for USNEWS</p>

<p>Where did you get the info? I would like to have it because that was one of the schools I looked in to. Looked at Howard, Ohio State, Spelman, Cheyney,Tuskegee and some others. Cheyney’ s info said there is a 3.0 as well and we plan on visiting in the summer. Do you have anymore insider information? (Howard too) </p>

<p>Thread goes back to 2009, some information may be outdated.</p>

<p>I second Johnson and Wales. </p>

<p>Lowest prestige, least selective, and least expensive colleges are not going to be the same sets of colleges.</p>

<p>Lowest (sometimes negative) prestige colleges would probably include some of the for-profit colleges; while typically non-selective, they are not necessarily the least expensive.</p>

<p>Least expensive (in monetary terms) colleges would include the military service academies and Deep Springs College, but these tend to be high on the prestige and selectivity scales, and generally not on most people’s “worst” lists.</p>

If you search around, you can find a list of unaccredited diploma mills. As an example, in a sting operation to expose Trinity Southern University, an attorney general signed up his cat. His cat earned a BS and MBA for only $400. The received transcript mentioned his cat graduated with a 3.5 GPA.</p>

<p>@laurenlolol, I have heard very good things about cottey college. I personally am not considering it, but one of my friends (who is now graduated and very successful) enjoyed it very much. </p>

<p>There are plenty of lesser known private schools that will be happy to take anyone’s money.</p>
