Has he considered going to community college first then transfer? If so Mesa College in San Diego has a guaranteed transfer program to UCSD (of course you still have to pass your classes). But afaik this is the best deal for ppl without a good high school profile, considering how good a school UCSD is.

ya susie I know its not what your looking for, but alot of the schools (at least in california that I know of that are jr. colleges) have a university that will auto-accept after 2 years.

Rutgers does this with MCC (Middlesex Community College) as long as you have higher than a C or B- or something. This saves money for the same eventual degree, and would be a lot easier to get into since CC's usually accept up to last minute.


Yes the community colleges here are still accept for the fall semester(I can get you more information if you decide that it MIGHT be an option lilsusie)

Ummm try a community college or an internet college. They have the lowest standards. But in the meantime try and get him to take the SAT. If he fails.... he can just not say anything to the colleges.
Whatever happens, happens.

Thanks for all the advice.

However, this is my job guys. I know all this information already. I know due dates, essay topics, hell, I even know people ON admissions boards. What I really really need to know (like the kid who said UMontana) is if you know any schools, local or just small ones that take students under these criteria.

I can work with a lot of different types of students, but this is my first extreme case, wanted to tap into TL to see if they know of any smaller universities that aren't well known.

As for commonapp, MOST require SAT. I can check www.fairtest.org too but I'd need to cross reference all the schools that don't take SAT + late late late deadline.

Blows, eh?

Check out the Evergreen State College in Oluympia, WA. I don't think that you can apply for fall quarter that late (unless its different for international students. We have a sizable Int. student population.

Oh and its really awesome here

Is he interested in a 4 yr technical school? I would say that is his best option... is this something you could convince him of?

In the States, they are basically the same thing.

Update: CSU San Bernardino and CSU Stanislaus accepts under my conditions. I'm still on a search for more....

As for Rutgers - it's a state school meaning they require SAT (even Newark does) and you need a Toefl score of 80 or better.

consider asking on the CollegeConfidential website, in their 'college search' forum. There're a lot of people there who know a ton about colleges and anything college-related, so they'll be able to give you some colleges that fit your student (better help than TL at least).

Is giving up on this kid an option? Not only are most admission cycles over, this kid isn't even very qualified to go to college. If you can, I wouldn't view it a blight on your reputation if you just let the kid go.

I wish. I really can't. I HAVE to send him SOME where. He refuses to take the SAT. It was like pulling teeth for me to get him to take Toefl.

There must be SOME stupid school that takes ANYONE and their dogs for some money...

How old is this kid? As in, when did he graduate from high school? In many state universities, if he's been graduated for over five years and wanting to come in, he would be considered a non-traditional student and would therefore, at least at my university, not have to take the SAT.
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

As a student going to CSU Stanislaus, I wouldn't really recommend it. PM me if you're interested to know.
