What is it called when Colleges and Universities dont look at your grades but accept you anyways?

Question

EDIT: The College is Penn State COllege of Technology.. so it cant be fake if its part of Penn State lol

Answer 1

It is called "a fantasy." All colleges that are worth going to and paying tuition to, look at your grades.

Penn State College of Technology clearly states on their website that you must submit a transcript from your high school and then a proof of graduation before you are admitted. So, maybe you better take another look!

There are some schools that don't require this - they are called "bogus!"

Answer 2

Many colleges make room for homeschoolers. Based on what you say you BETTER have the following under your belt: 1 Year foreign language, conversational, reading and writing. Any second langauge will do. Algebra 1,2,3,4. Geometry 1,2, Trig. Caculus Economics Contemporary Politics or Problems Math oriented Chemistry Math oriented Phyisics Bilogy 1 and 2 Rudimentary Astronomy 2 years of English Grammar, Composition and Literature and writing in a style format (e.g. chicago Manual) ALSO big tuition money Local State University will probably cost you $3,000,$5,000 per semesters Major top 10 University is $50,000 a year (Cal Tech, Cornell, NYU, Harvard, USC, UCLA if you are not a Californiar resident) ALL collleges will give you a Math and English placement test Some systems, such as New York, REQUIRE and accredited Diploma or GED, not every system requires this. Taking the SAT or ACT can be of benefit. Many colleges want to see a high SAT or ACT score That test will cost $$$ and you should take it within the next six months or so as it can take almsot a year to get the results. You should apply for scholarships and apply to all colleges you can by the start of next year.

Answer 3

If someone offers to accept you and doesn't look at your grades don't give them a penny! There is no such thing as a legitimate college or university that does this. You may get into this illegal college/university and find out that every class you took was not credited and you have not degree or credits to show for your work. If you have good grades I'm sure you will get into a good school. Don't worry and good luck!

Answer 4

The only version or variation of this I have heard of is that sometimes a university will consider which of its "colleges" or "schools" you want to get into and look only at certain grades/classes on your transcripts. In other words, if you are trying to major in something like music or English Lit, then sciences and higher mathematics wouldn't be a priority -- and vice versa for an engineering major. So, if you have had classes that particular college wants and earned good grades in those classes, you still have a chance to get accepted.

Answer 5

It's a hoax or fishy
