The appropriateness of this school for my specific needs is due to the pricing of the education and the fact that i could attend such school where i could have the opportunity to rebuild my GPA which could therefor help me gain acceptance into a higher ranked school although this school also offers very useful courses needed to get a sort of head start in the career i desire to follow.
