Does anyone here go to ITT Tech? What do I need to prepare?

I'm a graduate of ITT-Tech. The best thing you can do is to physically go into ITT-Tech and talk to a counselor. They will help you figure out what path to take, how to prepare, and financial aid. I did this and the transition into ITT-Tech could not have gone smoother.

A word of advise, ITT-Tech has a bad rep in areas. This is because it is run differently from universities. They are a for profit college. This means that you will get out of ITT-Tech what you put into it. If you slack and just focus on passing you won't have the necessary skills after graduation. Treat each assignment as if it was paid work from a client and you'll love it. The teachers really respond to this kind of student and you could be put on the top of their list when companies come looking to hire. That is how I landed a career before graduation.

Thank you very much for this information (been studying all day like crazy) also, what do I need for the enterence exams? do I just fill out some answers on a sheet? or do I need to write an essay? Most colleges its an essay, but some do answer sheets.

No essay. At least there wasn't in 2009. The answer sheets are very simple. Don't sweat them. You would do yourself A HUGE favor focusing on financial assistance. Search for as many grants you qualify for. ITT-Tech will help make sure you have financial aid to attend, but the majority of the financial aid they find will be loans which you will be paying on for a long time. The more grants you can find the better.

Yep, it's going in the off-topic lounge.
