College Advice on Arkansas State University - Jonesboro

Question: Can you get into arkansas state university with a GED?

Will a state university (specifically Arkansas State University Jonesboro) accept someone with a GED? I am intelligent and have an IQ of 178, however, personal problems are keeping me from graduating high school. I am about to take the ACT, and based on other tests I have taken my estimated score is 24 to 28. Maybe higher since the tests this estimation is based on is about a year old. Appologies. The before mentioned IQ was a typo. 158 is the correct number. These cell phone keys are a bit tiny.

It looks like a GED is O.K. for admission. Are you sure about the 178 I.Q.? Einstein allegedly had an I.Q. of 160.

Best Answer

Take to do what? Get a degree in computer science? Repost you question, and be more specific. A bachelors degree in computer science takes 4 years (unless you're very aggressive .. I graduated in 3 years).

Question: Does anybody go to Arkansas State University? Or used to?

Is it a good school? Are the classes small, medium, or big? Is dorm life good? Is the town safe? Is there much crime? Anything you say will help me I want to go there for college but I need to find out some stuff about it first. Thanks.

Best Answer

I can tell you that you do not want to rent from "apartment city" on Johnson These apartments are filled with drug users, dealers, and very shady people. If you pick up a copy of the jonesborosun you'll see every day someone has to have the police out there. Now there are the links out off of caraway these arnt bad, As well as plenty of hidden jems around the town depending on how much you want to pay.
