martin, in the wake of recent budget cuts, those “guaranteed admission” programs to SDSU have now gone by the wayside.
Congrats to your niece for being able to likely finish her bachelor degree in four years out of state. Hopefully, she won’t incur too much debt from student loans.
I didn’t get a bachelor’s degree, either, martin. However, I have no excuse for not getting it as SDSU was about $150 per semester for 12+ units (FT) when I was “college age.” Yes, I said ~$150. That works out to $12.50 or less per semester hour! CC was actually “free” at the time. In addition, I had nearly a 31 on the ACT exam and likely could have had my pick of schools!
I was the envy of all my college-student friends back then, busy and making plenty of money working and buying RE and a new vehicle while they trekked along with two pairs of jeans, worn hiking boots, a backpack and a bicycle.
Now some of those old friends who got bachelor degrees are likely retiring with a lot more money than I will. And of course, some likely never used their bachelor degrees and/or never worked or worked very little throughout their lives.
