Why do universities make it hard to get in when they recieve money for offering an education that should be fr

Universities do not have unlimited space.  They are restricted in the size of enrollment by the physical size of the buildings on the campus.  At my university, the classes are typically jammed and some students have to plan on taking 5 years to finish a degree that should be completed in 4.  There is also a limit on the number of professors and how many students that they can handle.

MIT is VERY TOUGH to get in. It also matters which course you are looking for. You got to be at the top of your class, have a good bank balance and be too smart for words. Do Not Get Fooled By People telling you the struggle isnt worth it. Believe me, it definitely is a struggle getting in, and might take an year's preparation to apply, but every second is worth it.

Does it have anything to do with their inability to pay for your college education?   Are they trying to discourage you because they see no way for them or you to handle the financial burden?\n\nFind out why they are so negative about you attending college.  Then address each issue carefully and thoughtfully.  If it all boils down to a money issue then start applying for grants, scholarships then loans if necessary.  Also get a job and start seriously saving money...college is not cheap...and unless you are serious and ready to attend you should wait a year or so. \n\n It is VERY different than high school,  there is a ton more work involved for each class and you are responsible to do the work on your own.   High school does not prepare you for the different course loads or the accelerated pace of the classes.   Some will tell you to plan on two hours of study for every one hour spent in the classroom....trust me when I say  it takes a lot more than that in some classes...and your professors do not care about any class but their own.  If you are ready for the challenge and have the finances in place,  go for it....otherwise take a year off and save and decide what you want to study.  Good luck.

Well, for one it's more convenient, especially if you don't live in the same country or state that the university or college is in. Also, because some people work long hours and and are unable to commute to classes.

You can call the admissions office and let them know that due to financial constraints you can't afford the full application fee.  They may lower the application fee.

Not many people are deny for financial aid. You should be ok, the problem that many people have with getting financial aid is when they or their parents have a lot of savings in the bank. When my friends and I were going through filling out FAFSA forms, my friend's parents didn't make a lot of money but they had no mortgage just every day bills and they didn't spend a lot so it went into their savings one of my friends parents had over $85,000 in their savings. She didn't get any financial aid can you understand why? $85,000 11 years paid for college 2 times over.

Few people get donations for college.  You may be eligible for grants and other financial aid, but donations are few.  There may be some scholarships, but they have requirements as opposed to donations which are more like gifts. \n\nStart out with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid from the US Department of Education.  That will show you your eligibility for grants, and other aid as well as your expected cost of education.  From there you may make more intelligent decisions about which college to attend. \n\nA link to the online FAFSA is below.

They are a proprietary school (for profit) more interested in getting a students money than providing a quality education.  It's not a well respected degree by employers.

You have to obtain a scholarship, and even then, it doesn't pay for everything.  Also, if you are hoping to get into a university that is in an English speaking country, you will have to improve your English quite a bit to complete the essays required for admissions.  The places in which you are most likely to get a scholarship are from your own country, as you are generally not qualified for scholarships in a country unless you are a legal resident.

Scholarships act as a kind of recruitment tool.  Most schools have enrollment goals that they must meet.  And every school wants to enroll the best and brightest students in its applicant pool.  If an Admissions Office considers an applicant desirable, they know full well that there are probably plenty of other schools that desire that same applicant.  More and more, Financial Aid is playing a key role in the student's enrollment decisions.  So why wouldn't a school tip the scales in its favor by offering the desirable student money to attend?\n\nThere are revenue issues at play, too.  Simple math, really.  If a school that costs, say, $30,000/year to attend manages to enroll a top student by offering him/her a $10,000 scholarship, that's $20,000 of money that it has made -- a "profit" of $10K that the school can use to cover its costs or improve its facilities, recruit new professors... and so on.

Maybe there is a school in you country that would give you a scholarship.  They are somewaht hard to come by in the US, especially for a post grad degree...

Many colleges are accepting more students now, viewing them as lottery tickets, hoping that one will become really successful and will donate large sums of money to the college. \n\nMost private (albeit non-profit) colleges have vast "alumni relations" departments who specialize at raising money for schools. \n\nSome elite/private high schools do so as well, and public high schools only do so to a small extent (they're publicly funded anyway, so large donations might reduce public funding)

You have to have the money to study, have documentation approved loans (not just an application) or a stipend offer from a US university which covers the cost of tuition and living.

They have to at least pretend so that they can eventually get tenure.  No university wants someone that doesn't know at least most of the subject.  I like the ones that admit they dont' know something.

There are waivers or grants that can help with or completely pay some admission fees. Check out options with the financial aid office at each school and it's time to submit the FAFSA! If you are a non-traditional student or low income you should have help available. Good Luck to you and Congratulations in taking the first step to higher learning!

It is very expensive.You may not get a scholarship in your early stage.Just think of a good finances,you don't want to be disappointed.Some private school's scholarship absorbs part of your tuition but your part will be more than a public university's tuition for a year.No exaggeration.......it is damn expensive is private universities.
