3. GCU is AWFUL!!!

They recruited hard at my daughter’s small high school. Not for the best students or athletes, just for the ca$h; student loan ca$h; that can’t be discharged in bankruptcy ca$h.

My kid was an athlete (soccer) and we began the college search sophomore year of high school so that we were prepared when the NCAA window opened for coaches to recruit.

GCU was never on her list of schools, but they called me every three days, like clockwork, to sign her up for classes and get her into the dorms. My kid never sent them SAT/ACT scores, never met with admissions or a coach, but they acted like she’d made the decision to attend GCU and I was the roadblock. In reality, she’d already signed a letter of intent to play soccer at a very selective liberal arts college in the midwest. The kind of college that gets you accepted to Georgetown law school after graduation.

GCU is owned by a for profit corporation trying to pass itself off as a non-profit educational institution.

Christian my @$$…oh, but, they do require the instructor to open every class with a prayer…amen
