<p>I’ve been accepted to UAA. Big whoop. =/ </p>
<p>Anyone else anywhere?</p>
<p>what? Already??!</p>
<p>HOW!?</p>
<p>10 char</p>
<p>Wow looks like those two are in love with Alaska’s opportunities for higher education.</p>
<p>I know my way around the ropes at UAA. And the funny thing is that they actually think I might go there…</p>
<p>I know this chick that claims she already got into JMU and is going. Most likely BS.</p>
<p>How can you even apply yet?!</p>
<p>Someone I know claims he already got into Clemson.</p>
<p>My sister got into Clemson two summers ago (rising senior) because she had SATs over 2000.</p>
<p>Recruited athletes can get in early, for those of you wondering</p>
<p>I got into Clemson. (Well actually they said my letter should get here tomorrow).</p>
<p>And there’s a solid chance I go there if I get the OOS tuition waiver which is apparently very likely with my 2050 SAT. I don’t even want to try to go to a higher ranking school. Undergrad will be all about the life and sports to me.</p>
<p>Yes, many students who play sports may be accepted a summer or even a year earlier.</p>
<p>If you are in the top 10% of your graduating class at a public high school in TX, you automatically get accepted to any public university/college in the state of TX (which is based on your GPA at the end of junior year. </p>
<p>Also, you CANNOT be denied admission if you meet the above criteria, which is based on TX state law.</p>
<p>You would consider that one form of early acceptance, right?</p>
<p>clemson lets everyone in early. they let my ex boyfriend in 2 years early. he could go to any school in the world and he chose clemson. just because he got accepted as a sophomore.</p>
<p>needless to say…despite his intelligence, he’s an idiot.</p>
<p>yeah that is the same thing in Florida except it’s the top 20%</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>That explains why so many students in Florida schools are in state. I didn’t know Florida had the same law, top 20% wow.</p>
<p>^^ Plus – if you meet some not-so-stringent requirements you get a bright futures scholarship and you don’t have to pay anything/ very much.</p>
<p>Florida’s public schools aren’t that great though, to be honest.</p>
<p>I’m a sophomore and UAA would probably take me - I have friends in high places there. Actually, not-so-high places, but it ain’t such a competitive school.</p>
<p>Unless you really need the cheap (maybe free) tuition and can’t stand the idea of living in Fairbanks (I won’t fault you there), I would NOT recommend UAA. I know people who have attended and taught there, and the place is a disaster.</p>
<p>@noimagination. Hello fellow Alaskan!</p>
<p>In Alaska, being top 10% of your class qualifies you as a “UA scholar” with which you can get about 1 or 2 (can’t remember) of free education at a UA campus. I am originally from Fairbanks and now located in Anchorage, and I can tell you UA-Fairbanks is much better than UAA.</p>
<p>Also in Alaska, winning random contests like science fair, symposium, gets you free 1 year tuition. My friend and I have racked up about 5 years of free UA education already. Oh wait, my parents are both faculties, what a waste.</p>
