about
I have a heart for this stuff. My love and greatest desire is helping people, thus the reason for majoring in Psychology. I hope to someday soon be a board-certified Clinical Psychologist. Until then, I'm going to give my opinions and hopefully help some people out in the process.On another note, I love learning, singing, dancing, and God. I'm heavily into acting, singing, dancing, and trying to get and stay in shape. I don't like drama and if I give advice to anyone, it is in hopes of drama-free results, but never guaranteed. I believe in standing up for yourself, regardless of who's against you. You've got to take a stand or you'll fall for anything.

AWESOME GRADES FROM SO-SO SCHOOL OR SO-SO GRADES FROM AWESOME SCHOOL?
what's the best? see i was thinking if i choose a school like UCLA (good repuation right?) but since everyone's so smart there i'd get so-so grades, or is it better to choose a so-so school where i'd get the best grades?? like lets say i want to becom a doctor, what would be best? do they look at your grades, or where you got your degree, or both? does anyone know??
I've transferred a lot and I'm still in college. Colleges do look at your GPA. If you'd like to bring your GPA up, I'd recommend going to a community or 2-year college a year or two first to bring your GPA up and then transferring. Your college of choice should not be based on what other people think of the college - name for instance? UCLA? If you want to become a doctor, I'd do some research on some of the better colleges and universities with Pre-Med programs. UCLA may have a good reputation, but USC may have a better Pre-Med program? So, you would get a better education there. Trust me, you want to do your researcher or you will end up stuck where everyone else would like for you to be, rather than where you want to be.
****Regarding your comment on feedback****
There's nothing wrong with attending community colleges first. I have friends who are now lawyers who done that first so they could adjust to the changes and bring their GPAs up to an acceptable average to be accepted into different programs at universities. Universities don't punish you for attending a community collge first. You would major in a for instance Pre-Med transfer. You would transfer without a degree and finish completing your degree at the university. Hope I helped =)
(Rating: 5) thank you soo much! but the whole cummunity college thing, is that really a good idea? like going to santa monica college for two years and then maybe UCLA for the other two years to get my degree?
