west coast university? help

It depends on your location on the price... One of my choices is WCU and the price range isnt to far off from my other picks in DFW area of Texas. Have you thought about UTA which isn't pleasantly priced either? You would be surprised how many people get into school with those stats. I say do what is best for yourself..

I suggest you don't go to west coast. The price is indeed absurd and even with your prereqs done, you'll still owe over 90 thousand. If you withdraw from the school, you can't transfer your credit because it's a trade school. Also financial aid covers for only the first year I believe after which you have to make some monthly payments.

Look at the community colleges around you. What do they want. Your GPA for your sciences really matters and the higher they are your chances of getting in.

Look at your local community college's point system and you get a good idea of where you rank.

They give you points for GPA, degrees attained (AS/AA, BS/BA, MS/MA, LVN, EMT, CNA)

Points for two semesters of a foreign language.

Even points for getting financial aid.

Also when you apply to community colleges, apply for more than one.

Figure out if the school wants you to take the TEAS or HESI. In some schools, you only need a 62% on the TEAS to be eligible to apply. Take both exams to broaden your options.

I'll be open to answering more questions but for now, I recommend you don't go to west coast. You don't want to be stuck with a loan that will take years to repay.
