Question: What are the easiest black colleges/universities to get into (preferably ones in Tennessee)?

I was going to a local, private college in my hometown (Northeast Indiana).. But that didn't work out. So now I plan on going out of state next fall. I have 64 credit hours (don't know if all of them will transfer) & my current cumulative gpa is 2.61.

Fisk has the best academic reputation among the Tennessee schools and you could probably get in with a 2.61 GPA, especially since those are college credits. Other schools to look at are Tennessee State, Lane College and Lemoyne-Owen.

After looking at collegeboard.com, Smith College located in Northhampton, Massachusetts accepts 52% out of all those who applied. 51% had h.s. GPA of 3.75 and higher 32% had h.s. GPA between 3.5 and 3.74 12% had h.s. GPA between 3.25 and 3.49 4% had h.s. GPA between 3.0 and 3.24 1% had h.s. GPA between 2.5 and 2.99 However, DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED on census like these. Sure, GPA is looked at but yes, but all colleges look at volunteer work and other extra curricular activities. As long as your record has shown you have been consistent and averages with your other activities and your academics, you will be a good applicant. I strongly encourage you (like I did with Notre Dame University) to call the admission office: 7 College Lane Northampton, MA 01063 (413) 585-2500 Fax: (413) 585-2527 admission@smith.edu Contact: Debra Shaver Director of Admission and just talk with them, see what they look for and just ask if you would make a good applicant. Remember to write a kickass essay and get some recommendations from your teachers. I hope that you will be able to be accepted, but remember that things happen the way they are, and whatever happens it is your destiny's route.

Here's a listing of community colleges in Oregon: http://www.utexas.edu/world/comcol/state/#OR I took the time to check Portland, Umpqua, Mount Hood, and Columbia Gorge - didn't find anything. There may be programs at one or more of the other colleges - you'll have to check. Portland offered this "career pathways" page about pharmacy technicians... http://www.pcc.edu/career/pathways/professional-technical/pharmacy-technician/ Many Pharmacy Technicians receive on-the-job training. Read a little more about licensing from this state government page: http://licenseinfo.oregon.gov/index.cfm?fuseaction=license_seng&link_item_id=1636 Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (A national association) https://www.ptcb.org//AM/Template.cfm?Section=Home1 Occupational Outlook handbook http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos325.htm Edit: Here's a program at Lane Community College http://www.lanecc.edu/ce/pharmacytech/ Central Oregon has a program that has already filled. That's an indication that its a good program. http://alliedhealth.cocc.edu/Programs_Classes/pharmacy/default.aspx Need more help? Something different?
