The main problem that I have the American college system is that they look for kids who’ve already accomplished greatness and found their place in the world. In reality, these are really unfair expectations for most kids who are generally only 17 to 18 and still being kids.

@hydroxyl5130 Жыл бұрын

I have found that there is a problem where kids are trained to market themselves to colleges before they understand how they would like to function in the world we have built today. College is a business, we are the resources they decide to convert into workers based in how the CHILD markets themselves. It's predatory! Then the second we are legal adults, we are signing legally binding loans that don't seem that worth it 2, 3, 10 years later when you understand more.

@@KarateLauren The state I'm in provides 2 years of community college for free if you go directly after high school. it saves so much and acceptance rates as a transfer are higher than straight out of high school, because the 4 years university doesn't have to guess about how you will perform in higher education classes.

The US application system is so bad, I think one of the main problems is that you’re applying just to a college rather than a subject. In the UK we can focus on showing our achievements and interest in the subject we wish to pursue further at degree level rather than having to flex a million extracurricular activities that add absolutely nothing to you as a student in a particular field.

@ballofmayo5132 Жыл бұрын

It depends for the US tho. Personally, I’m applying to a specific subject in the US for a specific college of a subject. This allows me to focus more on that area of focus and pursue internships, classes, and extra curricular related to it. That way, i’m focused on that subject and not doing every club under the sun.

@orhantotten7357 Жыл бұрын

@Lockdown Banter I think it’s a double edged sword, if this approach was taken here I would personally be struggling a lot more. The system would force me to gain a lower quality of further education than that provided by the universities Im looking to attend in the UK. But I see how for some a more diversified approach would be beneficial. I am applying for mechanical engineering so being able to focus on maths, Physics and product design for the last two years of my secondary education has been really enjoyable.

But there are many universities that supply support to students that attend unrepresented schools that bump up their atar (rank) and also receive special benefits. For example I did well in psychology this year so I was accepted early into a uni through a program, which also lowered the selection rank and already considers me for an honours degree.

There are many private colleges out there that are hurting for applicants.

At my regular public high school everyone who wanted to go to college did so and those that didn't chose not to, not because they couldn't get in somewhere.

What I don’t like about our education system is that they make highschool so important especially the last years. Yet they make it as miserable as possible. So it’s hard for people to strive in it, for example I had like a 2.0 awful gpa I never did anything cause it wasn’t anything I truly enjoyed. I was actually a slacker cause of it and it made me go into such an insecure state cause I was always around people that had 4.0s I always belittled myself thinking I wasn’t capable of doing anything. But after i surprisingly graduated i got into an automotive school which I have such a huge passion for automotives and ever since I started in this school my lowest gpa I’ve had is a 3.2, i havent had this level of proudness and confidence ever before about my self and I feel like this country has really failed the highschool system and they need to add more specifics for peoples interests and keep them engaged.

For the West Coast students out there I want to share a useful bit of semi-unrelated information. There is a program called Western Undergraduate Exchange that makes it so the 13 Western most states (Arizona, Washington, Oregon, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, etc.) plus Alaska and Hawaii allow students that live in one of the states to attend a college in another state while paying close to in-state tuition costs. As an example if I am in California and want to attend University of Nevada, Las Vegas if I apply regularly the cost for a non-resident is $23,961 and the resident costs are $7,470. So a student applying from out of state through the WUE program pays $11,205 (7,470 x 1.5). So let me just say you save a lot. Of course this applies to certain campuses and majors.
