I didn't get a greatFeb 11 2005Computer Science
I didn't get a great GPA in shcool... something like a 2.5 or 2.8, and my SAT were short of crap. I think around 1000 or 1050. But the one thing that any college looks at is how interested you are in the university. When i was looking at colleges I knew i wanted to go to Drexel. So I visited them like 6 or 7 times. Just remember that you really have to show interest in the school to make an impact.

It's not hard to get inApr 07 2004Communications
It's not hard to get in. I had a 1090 on my SAT's and somewhere between a 3 and a 3.5 GPA. I played volleyball one year and performed in 2 concerts in HS.

Drexel is expensive and it seems at times that they just want your money.
SAT: 1090 Male

Applying online is free- as is applying in person. It's not too hard to get into. Try to maintain above a 2.5 GPA in high school and do some activities. It's rolling admissions- you hear back quickly.
SAT: 1420 Female
