I am having trouble getting admission to a local university. I have a long history of not passing classes. I do
have a complete plan on how things will be different this time through. Things could not be more
different. Vocational Rehab is even backing me, but the school will not let me in. I have been declined even by
the ADA personnel. Yet they did not consider anything disability related. I almost think I need a
lawyer. Anyone know anything about admissions?
Say hi to me on irc!
Thank you.

I'm sure University would be the best, but, sometimes you've got to have the track record. Have you looked at going community college first to implement your plan, then using that history to gain admissions?

Can you gain admission under Affirmative Action?

I have all the classes I need that are offered at the community college level. The only thing left to take that I didn't pass was Chem II, and for some reason I don't need it for a degree in math.

Too bad.

:cry:

Affirmative Action programs are probably the best educational opportunity for people who otherwise can't make it into college.
