Bill Gates: College Should Cost $2,000

There are plenty of universities that don't take gre. The GRE like the sat is there to show that you are at the same level as any other person that got a bachelors. Just because you have a good gpa does not mean that your classes were as difficult as a physics major or as tough as classes at mit. People can take easy classes to increase their gpa. They do it very often for law school. It is a heck of a lot easier to get into yale law school as a political science or non science major than as an engineer major or science major because of the difficulty of classes. That's why you see so many non science and engineer majors at yale law.

 

I understand what you are trying to say....because easy majors and I dont want to pt any out but a more technical major like accounting , engineering computer programming would probably lower the GPA threshold versus something else so If you are going for your Masters in accounting (or getting a MACC) and your undergrad is in Acct and your major GPA is above 3.00 like some acct majors are ( looking at job listing they want you to have about 2.5 in accounting to qualify to do an application) then why should you do a gre. you have proven you have the skills to move forward. I can understand if you fell below the standard then yeah you have to now.

there are other school that reqguire the gmat and other testings. Im just using the gre as an example.

 

Depends on experience. If co-op was offered with online studies then you would have a better chance at landing a good job.

 

this doesn't address my comment about how some classes are harder than others in different universities. Just because you have a high gpa does not mean you know the material. People are also coming from different countries. There are also people who are coming from universities that are jokes in the usa. You need to find out if all of these people(even with the high gpa) are on the same level like someone like goodlove. The people who are on the level will not do poorly on the test to begin with so it isn't that big of a deal.

 

University of phoenix doctorates?

Why didn't I think of that

 

LOL

 

true dat. I feel ya

 

they're going to be handing PhDs out at McDonalds eventually



jk, i need to stop...

 

LOL.

PHD = poor hassle depressed

 

comprehensive access to wi-fi is needed in more neighborhoods.. from there, legislation needs to stop colleges from jacking up costs dramatically every year.. there needs to be Universal Education, but it won't happen anytime soon..

 

too much money to be made man

god i love capitalism



as for college tuition, I remember when Temple raised its costs about 2-3 years back, it caused a rumbling amongst students. Community colleges seen an increase in enrollment, due to students looking to shave costs.

 

Community colleges, at least the ones around here, have also seen hikes in tuition fees, although those fees are nothing compared to a CSU/UC.

College is going to be crazy ridiculous in 20 years. Granted, all things will go up in price via inflation, but still.

I can't imagine how much it's going to cost to attend a year at UCLA in 2040.

Probably something like $40k a year?

(Just last November, students were protesting against a 32% increase in tuition fees)

Insanity!

 

i noticed that too..

actually, community college fees today are in line with my Penn State fees in 2000/2001. A full-time student taking 15 credits fall/spring (roughly $600 per 3 credit course), will pay around $6000 at community college here(tuition, technology fees, etc) yearly, or $3000 per term. I was paying around $6300-6500 at PSU.

Do the math, lol.

 

EDIT: Probably something like $50-60K+ per year @ a UC school in 2040.

I don't see the cost of things going down, so I could only imagine how far it can potentially inflate.

I'm guessing that would seem "reasonable" at the rate we're going?

 

you would think prices would go DOWN, as enrollments went UP...

not



$$$$$$ bling bling, ya'll

 

You better get your hustle on now, and start paving the way for your children!

UCLA Tuition Fees

 

Looks like the "middle class" is gonna be "classed out" in a few decades.

 

Education has to be free of costs, no matter if school, University or later when you are already in your job and one has to change to another career. It is in Germany like that and I really appreciate it. Education may not be depending on the portemonnaie of the parents.

 

Truth. The middle class is already getting the shaft. It's just going to get worse.
