Ben

I work for a biotech company and I have 2 associate degrees. I didn't do well on the first one, I graduated with a 2.2. My second is in biotechnology and I have a 2.7. Due to the first one I am having issues getting started on my bachelors. My combined gpa s a 2,43, I am not able to retake classes, they are either no longer offered or offered at times I can't take due to my job.

I have work my butt off to improve my gpa. Increasing my gpa from a 2.2 to a 2.43 in a 2 year period with taking all science classes show how much I have improved. I have found that biology is a good fit and that I am good at it.

I work closely with project management and all the labs. I also have dealt with the FDA and CDC. I understand graduate and phd schools being picky.

Its just the Undergrad admissions that should be a bit more understanding and look at more than gpa. Many of the teacher s at many colleges would love to have me in their classes due to my experience.

By the way a 2.43 is my best and college is for me. I need to progress within the company.

I know radford university in VA has a gpa of 2.7 and Old Dominion's is a 2.8. What are some other colleges with gpas that low or lower

Not everyone wants to go to college, I know people who get good grades and yet they do not want to go to college. Their parents are forcing them to go.

If half the population gets a degree that will make education worthless. If half the population had phds that would mean all college in the U.S. is worthless. It also would make it difficult for people who want to get an education to get.

Technical degrees are the way to go. A degree in philosophy is fine when you're much much older and as a hobby. Or if it is combined with another degree.

If they send a text will they know they can't text me and with the call part will they get s response for that as well. My carrier is verizon.

Just curious since I have never owned one. I am looking at the full tang sword

I uninstalled it and ran my virus protection and even changed my home page. It still shows up.

A friend of mine(we have known each other for over 4 years now) and I had an issue. it deals with something that happened a month ago.she didn't tell me and I found out anyways. I sent her a message about it and now she wants nothing to do with me.

I did apologize and have tried to make things right but she wont let me. i haven't talked to her in a month to give her space.

All relationships have ups and downs. she and I have known each other long enough to have issues and arguments.

If you know someone long enough one of you will get annoyed and ticked off

It doesn't help me out at all. I always feel like crap no matter what I do. I run miles half the week and weight lift the other and still doesnt help

Why don't all colleges do that. I mean do it on a case by case basis. For example if the person did improve but still not quite there or if they already work in industry.

Just because you get an A or B on a test or in a class, that doesn't mean you truly and fully understood the material. In many cases all you did was to regurgitate the material. That's why I disagree with standardized tests, not every learns the same way or is capable of doing the same things.

I've been turned down due to having no credit.

For example, Foreign language, it's better to learn another language when you're younger.

I was told that by some guy who said the admissions office told him that. I find that odd considering that would mean most of the students I've known who have graduated and recently graduated from GMU did so with a gpa less than that. If a 3.0 was required then there would be far less students graduating from GMU.

He also stated that everyone is required to take a forein language. When I looked at the gen ed requirements for the bio degree there was nothing that said foreign language is required and yet he says it is true because the admissions office person said so. I also talked to the dean of the bio department, there is no language requirement.

To me, I think many of the admissions people do not know what they are doing or what they are talking about. I have been given wrong info before, I have found that the department gives the most accurate info when it comes to degrees.

I need a teacher that can actually explain the material well enough. Math is not my strong suit, I have taken a calc class and the teacher was able to explain the material in such a way to where I was able to get a B in the class. She balanced out tests and homework, none of which had to be done online.

The more time I take on a test the worse I do.Typically a college will give you 3 hours to take a test in the testing center which doesn't help me. What I need is either take home tests where I can spend a week working on it or more homework.

The classes that I have done well in have given a lot of homework. Homework helps me to counteract my test grades.

Please, please don't say things like "college isn't for you", if someone wants to go to college then college is for them.

I think it would work better as a series

Dragon Knight as decent.

It's easy as hell to get in,it only requires a 2,0 with an associates degree. Problem is that it costs $12,000 a semester for a full time student. Due to work I;d only be able to take 2 classes and that will cost about $6,000. and on top of that I would have to retake all my math and science classes, I got B's in them.

I have done the research and have found nothing that can help. Having a second job and waiting a few years are not options. At this point in my life if I stop school for a few years I would never go back.

I did apply and got in. Now here is the problem, I was only able to get about $1,000, which is a combo of financial aid and grant money. I am not eligible for any type of loan. That means about $5,000 that I would have to pay for out of pocket. I can't afford that with what I currently make.

How is it still an option? Why wont people give me an answer when I a tell them this and ask them the same questions?

I am not going to a college where I have to retake classes I already got A's and B's in. Would any of you do that?

$6,000 a semester is the most I can afford.
