[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3234995, member: 29267"] I also started at a two-year school, never took the SAT, and was accepted to great four-year schools after a few semesters on the dean’s list and induction into an honors society. I knew my potential for success in higher ed wouldn’t be represented well by my performance on standardized tests. I also don’t think it makes sense to pay university tuition for general ed when, with a little planning, you can take those courses at a less expensive school, along with a few intro courses from your major, and transfer to the school you want to graduate from. I didn’t end up transferring. Decided to graduate with a couple associates degrees and start working. That was one of the best decisions I ever made. Many people in my profession don’t have a related college degree and I already had enough experience to get a junior-level job. I’m thankful I was able to avoid all that debt. [/QUOTE]
