My Experience at UH Manoa + Useful College Advice! | Michelle Kanemitsu

[@LaurenSalz]

I have a lot of friends and family in Hawaii, but have never actually lived there! I'm planning to go to UH Manoa, but my dad is making me take a gap year because of the crazy out-of-state tuition fee! So, he wants me to establish residency in Hawaii so I can get the in-state fee. Hope I get in!

[@LaurenSalz]

UH Manoa has a whole page on residency requirements. Here is the link: goo.gl/Bo1q75 Hawaii is the most expensive state in the U.S. to live in. So, it'll definitely be hard for you, if your parents don't send you some money each month. If you're really determined though, you'll find a way to make it happen :)

[@copyscastle]

Lauren Salz I'm doing the same thing I have family in Hawaii so after this year I'm moving to Hawaii then starting university

[@jazzedessentials3300]

The percent that students who applied get in is 81%

[@LaurenSalz]

Fun! I'm still in my senior year of high school, but I'll be moving to Hawaii as soon as I graduate. What do you plan to do with your gap year?

[@matchboxpolice]

Lauren Salz Depending where you live, you may qualify for in state tuition. I live and California and qualify under the Western Undergraduate Exchange.

[@claiirvcyant2347]

for people that want to go to uh manoa, make sure it’s REALLY where you want to go. The education is just average for the price out of state students have to pay (other than marine bio majors). It’s more of a commuter school than a party school just in case that’s what you were thinking of doing. However, there’s a lot of things you can do outdoors like hiking and surfing if you want to go for the experience :)

[@jayleenl]

What school would you consider a “party university” ? !

[@claiirvcyant2347]

@@jayleenl there’s really no party schools in Hawaii but that’s the biggest school. I know that people have dorm parties at UH Manoa tho so if you’re looking at Hawaii that’d be your best bet

[@iiAngelic]

Like say you are paying the entire tuition with student loans, living on campus, and not having a car?

Vivi33 Vivi33 cost of attendance for UH is 50k a year for OOS students, that's before you get your financial aid if you get any, but if you don't get that much and no scholarships you'll have almost 200k in loans which may take your entire life to pay off

Try using hippohelp, you work for someone but you live rent free and sometimes they pay for food. It would be a nice way to see if you like it there and a cheaper way to live if you want to live in the dorms when the semester starts .

my family is moving to Seattle but my father lives in kauai. i highly prefer here, and my father actually offered to help me to pay if I choose to stay here, but is it worth staying? born in Cali but lived here almost my whole life. not so great act/sat (1150 and 24 composite) with a ~3.9 gpa, but it’s kinda inflated since I never took any AP until now (my senior year; ap calculus bc and ap psychology). my graphic design teacher said the program here is pretty good, and that’s generally the career I want (photo, video, design). what do you recommend

Is it expensive if you’re an OOS student

[@allywilkerson8953]

yes quite a bit more expensive

3x more expensive if your state isn't a part of WUE (Western Undergraduate Exchange), and if it is it's 1.5x the price

So I’m still a freshman but I’m gonna be graduating early and I already have a 3.9 gpa so would it be hard for me to get scholarships or help getting into college???

[@claiirvcyant2347]

you would 99.9% get accepted w that gpa, but like other ppl said, take a gap year and establish residency in Hawaii before applying so you can get in state tuition. Def apply for fafsa too because it helps a lot if you’re low income.

aloha! I know that this video is already like 3 years old, but I'm hoping someone will respond to me ;-; I'm going to be a junior in high school, and I have 4.28 weighted/3.89 unweighted gpa and I've taken almost all the science classes my school has to offer. I've taken multiple diagnostic ACTs and got between 31-34 each time...I also played piano and won many international competitions up until last year & have volunteered at an animal shelter since I was 13. but, I'm not that involved in school clubs (only GSA for now). I'm not worried about being accepted, but I am OOS (Pennsylvania) and worried about the tuition. will I be able to get a decent amount of grant and scholarship (family income is not that high :/ ) based on what I have on my transcript already, or should I be looking to join more clubs for leadership positions? UH Manoa is my dream school, but I don't think I would be able to afford the high tuition without a scholarship... thank you for the video!! and also someone please help me with this lol

[@aubreythomas4477]

You can get a good amount of financial aid if you are low income. You could also take a gap year and establish residence in Hawaii. So live there for 12 months, work a job and save as much as you can, keep applying to grants and scholarships (you should be doing this now too!). Then apply for in state tuition which is muchhhhh cheaper!

Thank you for this video! How long does it take to transfer from a community college like KCC to UH can you transfer from UH to a college in Cali. And I love your vlogs I hope for more🙏🏼

[@MichelleKanemitsu]

I'm so sorry Danny, I'm not sure how long it would take. But if you're at KCC now, you should be able to transfer to UH the following semester if you already applied and met all the deadlines. :)

[@rayage777]

Take this with a grain of salt because I did this a long time ago, but I went to WCC, HCC, and LCC then went to UH. Since they are all in the UH system, there is no troubles going to UH. From UH to a CA (or vice versa) is a lot more difficult because the college you are going to has to make sure the classes are similar. Take the description of the class courses to the new college.

Heyo. Im a junior in high school with a 2.6 gpa and im taking SATs next month. 😔 I take a lot of college prep couses and even skipped a level in Japanese[2nd to 4th year] plus, Im SUPER involved in school and the cali community [leading school clubs, dance crews, i also co-founded an annual dance battle event for charity, and am an intern producers assistant. I'm worried about not getting accepted because my gpa is .2 points Below what the requirement is. [2.8] but im also hoping my sat score and extensive involvement in my community would make up for that, if i happen to not be able to fully bring up that 2.6? Idk right now and I really need advice. I REALLLY WANT TO GO TO UH MANOA. Is there any insight that can calm my nerves or at least help me towards that Ho'omaika'i admissions letter?? Thank you🙏

[@justcassie.3758]

Yo! Whats up? It's really nice to have someone i can relate too😅. Good luck to you too! Yeah, rn it's mainly me needung to get like 3 As, 2 Bs, and a C, for a 3.0 lolol. It's hard when i have a LOT going on in my life rn. But, either way, if i dont get in, I'll still probably move to hawaii and transfer. Or maybe not. No matter what happens, it was meant to be :)

[@Fluffyandkimmy]

So extracurricular activities don’t really play into your acceptance into Manoa that’s more so for applying for scholarships but if your gpa is low but your SAT score is high it’ll balance out. Like a 2.6 gpa with a 1300 sat score you’ll probably get in. I had a really high gpa but my sat score didn’t reach the minimum and I got in.
