[QUOTE="Logic, post: 310877, member: 12691"] Before choosing ITT Tech, please read on.. Even though their main focus is Computer Science and Engineering, they are a for profit organization (see [URL]http://www.wlwt.com/news/local-news/feds-file-suit-against-forprofit-itt-tech-college-chain/24704400[/URL]). A for profit organization/college pretty much speaks for itself. They want you for your money, not for your needs of education. I went through FAFSA, campus visit, spoke with a student adviser, and so forth. They ended up registering me to their college without me even deciding on going their or not. Even though they registered me, I didn't have to go there because your tuition fees don't begin until the first day of school when you're marked on their attendance. In my personal opinion, ITT Tech doesn't have any kind of acceptance rate. You don't have to take any placement exams, or anything like that. As long as you have a decent GPA and money, you're in. Here's what it came down to when I was going to go there and claimed myself as independent on FAFSA: [B]Estimated Program Cost (Includes books, fees, and tools):[/B] [COLOR=#ff0000]$45,170[/COLOR] for 2 years (your basic Applied Science Associates Degree). [B]Estimated Grants, Scholarships, and Benefits:[/B] I qualified for [COLOR=#ff0000]$12,932[/COLOR] in Pell Grants & [COLOR=#ff0000]$15,000[/COLOR] in Institutional Scholarships, totaling to [COLOR=#ff0000]$27,932[/COLOR] in benefits. [B]Estimated Net Program Cost (The final cost you'll be paying in either loans or out of pocket when you graduate): [/B][COLOR=#ff0000]$17,238[/COLOR] [B]Estimated Monthly Loan Payment (To pay off the Net Program Cost):[/B] [COLOR=#ff0000]$167 [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Please also review these statistics as of 2012-2014: Graduation Rate - 18% :: Retention Rate - 0% :: Transfer Rate - N/A Please do not let this discourage you from where you want to go. I understand their are other choices of college that is more expensive, and more cheaper. I chose to go to a community college for Network Systems Administration (same as what I would have gone to ITT Tech for) and will be getting my Associates Degree in Applied Science (same as above). Once you complete your 2 years and reach your Associates Degree, you would choose the path of where you'd like to continue for your Bachelor's Degree, and so on.
