Default Getting In

im interested in attending MTSU, but affraid that I will not get accepted. Im 21 and hold a GED (Military Academy Credits didnt transfer, played football with Chris Perry who went to the begals first round!!!!!!). I have a PPL and wanted to get back into school. I enrolled in a community college here over the summer to establish a college GPA. any tips or insight on my chances of admission?

What position did you play?

Good thinking with establishing a college GPA. They will want to see that you are capable of maintaining a certain standard.

Lloyd? Any suggestions for the lad?

Wow...that's a tough one. You can find the admissions requirements for new freshmen here . Personally, I'd suggest going to a community college for a year or two and then attempting the transfer. Our admission standards have gone up considerably over the last year or two - more people are going back to school now.

What state are you currently living in? Any good community college opportunities near home? How hard would it be to complete a high school diploma non-tradionally?

I got a Maryland High School Diploma, there is a technical school thats around me that offers a AA in 18 months. The say all the credits transfer but im still doing my research on that. Its just frustrating knowing that you have to go to another school for 1-2 years before going to the school you REALLY wanna go to. I also wanna play football in college so im really determined. Im also 21 so i might get by on my SAT scores or lack there of. Also you think the football team has a walk on program?? im 6"0 225 run the 40 in 4.86 honerable mention concensus all american...

You'll need to get that 40 speed up, bro.... but as I said - don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it. My first timed 40 in college was 5.2 - I ##### you not. I worked my BUTT off on muscle development and technique and my last timed 40 was 4.68. Still not a burner, but good enough to get open over the middle.
