Can you please list any schools that would give full tuition scholarship due to my stats.
I am currently in university as a freshman but am planning to transfer next semester preferable in the North east.
My high school GPA was:3.4 UW and 4.0 W
SAT score:1210
Also they should have a MIS Program.
First…what is a “MIS” program.
Second…as a transfer, your likelihood of getting a full tuition merit scholarship isn’t very high…especially in the northeast.
Third, your SAT score isn’t high enough for significant merit aid at most colleges.
Fourth…what’s the matter with the college you are at? Is it affordable?
Maybe Management Information Systems? It does help when a post author doesn’t assume that most people know what a term or abbreviation means.
MIS was a hot field in the 1980’s. Not much at all today. A CS major would be more appropriate.
MIS is actually still pretty hot.
Full tuition merit award with a 1210 SAT score? In the northeast, as a transfer student?
My opinion…it’s not going to happen.
You are at WVU…why do you want to transfer?
Actually @bopper if this student is transferring after one semester at his college…he isn’t going to have a college GPA to put on his applications when he applies.
I still ask…why does this student need to transfer after one semester?
UW GPA and SAT are both too low for any of the full tuition awards I know of.
Especially for transfer students, to whom those scholarships are rarely offered.
Especially in the Northeast, where schools aren’t really in need of warm bodies.
@bopper I do not have a college GPA due to me currently being in college. I am from Connecticut if that helps with anything.
@thumper1 I want to transfer for 2 reasons I want to maybe try Industrial and Systems engineering at WVU for engineering they are making me take extra pre reqs if I want to do so and I would like to get buy apartment and save on rent/dorm expense. Also since im shaky between IE and MIS I would like the school to have both.
@TomSrOfBoston why do you think MIS isn’t too hot right now? Both my parents work in the industry and are doing extremely well better than a lot the average 45 year CS graduate. Then again I would probably be hooked up with a job if I do MIS.
Also if there is not any free tuition schools are there any ABET accredited 4 year institution in the North east that would be 5-6k Tuition?
That also have an MIS or CIS program just in case I switch back in.
You are NOT going to find a college with FREE tuition in the northeast. Your SAT score isn’t high enough for competitive merit awards…and isn’t high enough to get accepted to a college that meets full need. It sounds like you don’t qualify for need based aid anyway.
What are you talking about? Tuition alone would be a LOT more than this. It doesn’t sound like you are a resident of a state in the northeast…so you would be paying OOS tuition at a public university…and tuition at a private university…both would be more like $30,000 MINIMUM per year…just for tuition. Then you have to add in living expenses…which aren’t free…and many places in the northeast are costly.
If WVU is making you take prerequisite courses…what makes you think you would not have to do so elsewhere? What courses are they making you take?
What northeast colleges did you have in mind?
@Kingly71 What pre=req courses are they making you take?
@thumper1 Both my parents are residents of Connecticut.
@bopper They put me in a Business Algebra and are asking for me to retake algebra again but at most schools my SAT score would place me into Calc 1. I also don’t like the fact that for I.E they make you take Differential Equations Calculus and Thermodynamics and Circuits when that is more for mechanical engineers and that I.E don’t tend to need that knowledge when working in the work force. Also since a few schools I viewed such as Ohio university and Quinpiacc only require up to Calc 2 for I.E. Also I do not mind with-drawing from 2 classes so that I would be under the 12 credits so I could still be considered a freshman applicant.
So if there are any schools that are ABET and AACSB accredited schools that would have tuition for me around 7K or less and have a Industrial engineering or Industrial systems engineering or Industrial engineering and technology and A MIS OR CIS OR BIS program and the school is located in Northeast: (Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland, Delaware, Vermont and New Hampshire.) I also do not mind going to Florida and Texas since housing there is good.
Thanks for the help (:
Does anyone know anything about Youngtown State University ?
You may want to consider pursuing a 2 year degree at a community or technical college. Many have tuition that is free or nearly free to many applicants. Get your 2 year Associates Degree and then apply to a school to finish out your 4 year degree. However, it is possible that not all of your community college credits would transfer, so you would need to research this at both your community college and the 4-year school you think to finish up at. There may be city or state schools that could help you in Connecticut as well. I wish I knew more about that state. I also don’t know about whether community college credits could be applied towards an ABET AACSB degree (not sure what the late is). Just avoid taking out loans to pay for tuition at any for-profit schools. Good luck!
Differential Equations is typical for all engineering curriculum. Circuits and Thermo are foundation courses so you have a basic knowledge of different types of engineering and prepares you for the Professional Engineer Exam (whether or not you choose to take it)
So…you are a CT resident. Have you considered taking your general education courses at one of the CT community colleges? They have articulation agreements with the four year public colleges whereby most, of not all, of your credits will transfer to a four year program.
Instate cost of attendance at UConn is under $29,000 a year.
The only colleges i can think of that have $7000 a year or less TUITION only…are the community colleges.

Southern Ct State University has MIS. Tuition only is about $10,000 a year.
How will you pay for housing, food, and other living expenses?
SAT scores do not place students into math classes and I am aware of no universities that (solely) use SAT scores for placement (SAT subject tests may be a different matter).
The fact you’ve been placed into Business Algebra is concerning. Can you take remedial algebra classes over the summer?
For the record, I was also not an exceptionally strong math student when I came into college. That’s no reason to avoid math, especially if you want to be an engineer. My school is actually one of those that doesn’t require anything beyond calc 2 for computer science/software engineering students (EE students must take more). I personally think that is inappropriate; any engineering program worth its salt SHOULD force you to take up to diffeq.
If they don’t, I suggest you do what I did, and take classes up to that level anyway. I actually took so many that they were just like “Um here have a second major.”
It’s helped my engineering intuition a lot. I seriously question students who haven’t had more than calculus 2. I recommend you push well beyond it.
