Admissions

Work hard and check this school out. It's a good school. I swear.

For future students, I encourage you to choose this school for many reasons. This school has been voted to have a beautiful campus. The personnel at UOP are very friendly and very helpful if any questions arise. UOP also provides a large variety of majors for any incoming student and it would be great to have enthusiastic students on campus.

if you don't study a lot now, make sure you develop good study habits. make a lot of friends and do not give off a bad first impression.

Be sure to advocate for yourself right from the beginning. The faculty is more than willing to work with students, however it may be a bit difficult to meet with specific people.

Don't be scared to ask for help.
It's okay to be out of you comfort zone.
Have fun!

If you are studying a foreign language I would suggest that you take as many years of it as you can while in High School. The language classes here are on a higher level, as are all classes, but language is the most prominent difference I have seen. One year of a foreign language is required for Liberal Arts students and one year is about three years of High School language, so study foreign language hard if your interested in the Liberal Arts. Another suggestion is keeping an eye on the scholarships available for incoming Freshman and apply for all of them, they can really help you pay for school, every little bit of aid you get counts. Also, for the MOVE trip as part of orientation, make sure to pick your location early so you don't end up in a location you didn't want. Spots do fill up quickly.

I suggest that future students budget their money and make sure they know what they want to do because paying almost 50 k a year may not be the best plan if you are going to not know which path you are pursuing.

Always look into the schools you're applying to before you go head first into deciding. Be proactive! Don't wait until the last minute to decide to start researching. Once you're admitted and attending, keep up with your studies, your social life, and whatever else makes you happy so you don't fall behind on anything. Minimize the margin for error so it helps you in the long run.
