Texas Southmost College FAQS

  1. What is the Acceptance Rate at Texas Southmost College?

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Texas Southmost College is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020, _____ students were offered admission.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    College is a wonderful learning experience! I learn new things everyday; the satisfaction of knowing that no one can take the knowledge I accuire, makes it all the better. I love the fact that college not only teaches me the subjects, but also about life. I always believed college was going to be so hard, and I have to admit I was a little scared to start. In my personal situation, I attend college(UTB) far from home (Dallas), and it was pretty hard in the beginning, but this experience has made me grow as an individual. I have become more independent, and that I feel, is one of the asspects I value the most from attending college. Its not like school, here I have to work for what I want, because in the end if I don't take advantage of the opportunity that is laying right in front of me, I will be the only one losing from it. I will never regret making the decision to go to college, and hope to accuire a career as an Accountant thanks to my college education. Before college, I always wondered why everyone loved their college years, now I know!

  11. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The major problem about my school is that some of the students are not college-ready due to their poor academic performances. Moreover, some of the professors are making the students too comfortable in their grades by using academic curve to the extreme. Academic curve gives undue advantages to some students despite of their porous performances in homeworks, tests and the finals. This favor eventually boomerang on the students whenever they go to another school out of the valley. They(students) found it hard to cope which leads to unproductiveness. I believe grades should be awarded based on merits.
