College+Report

Choosing a College By Sloan Pennington I chose Auburn University as my college choice. One reason is because of the sports. Another reason is because of the academics. The location is great for me as well. It is closer to home and in a good location as far as safety. Football, fishing, and baseball are my favorite sports and Auburn offers all. The location of Auburn is close to home and in a good community. It is about an hour and a half from home and is not too hard to drive back and forth. The communities are safe and have good law enforcement. Auburn has great academic options. Auburn offers my major. Their last review was a B. The faculty at Auburn is good at what they do and teach it well. Auburn tuition is a little much but worth it. The tuition is 23,486. The books cost about 1,100. Auburn has many clubs and organizations to choose from. There is over 21 clubs and organizations to choose from. There are more than 19 different athletic choices at Auburn. Admission standards are based on the quality of your high school grades as well as your score on either the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Auburn University requires that all incoming freshmen provide test scores, including the writing portion, from either the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). No preference is given for either test and the highest composite score will be used for admission purposes. Transcript evaluation utilizes a 4.0 scale. A weighted GPA is utilized when included in the high school transcript. If a student attends a high school whose system does not provide a weighted GPA on a 4.0 scale, the high school may include a cover letter with the transcript indicating the student's weighted GPA. I think that Auburn is going to be tough but worth it. Now you see why I want to attend Auburn. Athletics and academics are great choices for me.
