(1) recruit quality student-
athletes to an institution with high admission and academic standards

Really, a school that will guarantee admission to in-state students with a certain ACT or SAT score doesn't have high academic standards.

Hate to tell you this, but the admissions standards at CU and CSU are pretty similar.
 
I just sent them my application. I coached an 8th grade team the last 2 years in the AYL, we lost in the semis this year, but won the super bowl last year. I think i'm qualified
 
I believe its easier to get into CU Colorado springs than it is to get into CSU. Degree

I was talking about the flagship campuses with my original post. When I applied to schools, the indecies (number derived from GPA and standardized test scores) for CU and CSU were very close.

It's weird, anyone with a pulse can get into CU-Springs or CU-Denver, but Boulder has very high admission standards. My dad is a dean down at CU-Denver, I was looking at MBA programs, CU-Denver requires a 200 on the GMAT to get in, just ludicrous! Most school are around 600.
 
Where is the stipulation that the successful candidate must be willing to wear ugly green and yellow attire on the side line?

CU-Boulder and CSU have very similar admission standards. While some schools like the Business School and the Engineering School might have very high standards, the school overall has very similar admission standards to CSU.

CU-Boulder should have raised standards a long time ago, but it doesn't appear to be a priority up there.

Mmm yeah, I was an enginerd, so that's probably where I get that perception from LOL

I believe the diploma doesn't designate the campus either. In other words, a CUCS grad has the same diploma hanging on his wall as I do.

Absolutely correct. My CU-Denver diploma does not contain any reference whatsoever to Denver, it only says The University of Colorado.

I had to pay more for my student tickets though, does that make it up to anybody? :huh:

Well, I make sure it's clearly stated that I went to CU-Boulder on my resume.:smile2:

That's because CU-Denver focuses on adult higher education, not straight-outta-high-school.
 
I saw that ad in the free Nickle Ads you get in front of the grocery store. Is csu so far off the radar that they really need to post an employment ad? Small time, baby! At least sunny knew it. Its time that the fans caught on.

State agencies and institutions are required by law to publicly post job announcements.

CU recently posted its announcement for a new prez in several publications.

It appears they left a couple of requirements off the list, so I took the liberty of adding a couple.:thumbsup:
 
I was talking about the flagship campuses with my original post. When I applied to schools, the indecies (number derived from GPA and standardized test scores) for CU and CSU were very close.
I think the major difference is admission to the CU Biz School (LEEDs) and Engineering. Otherwise, general admission is quite similar. Both schools have other campuses in Csprings and Pueblo that might have lower admissions, but overall its a personality thing... and what they want to study.

Some kids respond to Boulder, some to Fort Collins...

Some want to be Architects, some Vets...
 
You're an employer with two good resumes in front of you. You want a process engineer to do P&D for a pharmaceutical company from out of state.

One applicant has a CSU chemical engineering degree

One applicant has a CU chemical engineering degree.

Otherwise both resumes are similar in experience and qualifications.

Which one do you pick?

I was the one that got picked over the CSU applicant :)

Not saying that CSU doesn't have its laurels as a public university. Both universities have different strengths. All I'm saying is that I'd prefer to drive over a bridge designed by CU engineer :p

I would take my dog with worms to get treated by a CSU vet grad.

/just saying
 
I just sent them my application. I coached an 8th grade team the last 2 years in the AYL, we lost in the semis this year, but won the super bowl last year. I think i'm qualified

:rofl:

You're more qualified than sunny. In fact, you're over-qualified since you coached in a super bowl against a team not clad in gold and black.:smile2:

Do you know the LEEDs admission requirements? CSU's biz school is pretty tough to get in to as well, just curious how they compare.

hmmm...

I can ask my daughter on the ACT/SAT part, but the High School GPA is 3.7 or above. The intra/inter college transfer (say from liberal arts to Leeds is 3.7 or from another school to CU is 3.7)... its pretty tough. I went to a 'be a CU student for day' with my daughter and the professors giving the tour we're basically straight up telling parents and students, 'if you don't have a 3.7 AND a 26 on your ACT you chances are slim at best; apply to liberal arts and transfer to Leeds'... they were brutal. .. supply and demand... they have a ton of demand and can be quite restrictive on who they accept

here's the scoop. the AVERAGE incoming freshmen have 26 ACT, 1200 SAT and rank in the top 20% of the incoming freshmen...

for more on all criteria go here: http://www.colorado.edu/prospective/freshman/admission/qualifications.html

btw: CSU has a very fine biz school

Yeah, that doesnt sound like too much fun trying to get in to there. :lol:

Incorrect. According to CollegeBoard (2007): CU in-state 59% vs. CSU in-state 80%. CU-71% incoming freshmen had HS GPA 3.5 or higher vs. CSU 51% 3.5 or higher. CU-10% 2.0-2.9 GPA vs. CSU 26% 2.0-2.9 GPA.

Also, I know from experience because I had two brother who ended up at CSU because they didn't get into CU-boulder:lol:

Those stats have nothing to do with admission standards tho. They are just a snapshot of the student body. CU's admissions are a bit tougher. But the point here is that it is no Ivy league school in this regard like alot of people portray it, the OP in this thread for example.
