Choice to pick a college for a sport or for a better degree
Posted Wednesday April 7 2010, 9:09 pm
I am a high school senior and im stuck about the obvious problem all seniors face...what college is right for me?
Heres my problem....I am a pretty talented wrestler, not amazing, but talented. I am ok at school not the best. My dad really wants me to go to a 2-year school that already has an interest in me to wrestle for them and he thinks it will fit my academic abilities better. But i really have a good 4-year school picked out im already accepted, and i have friends that go there. and they have a very competitive wrestling program I love wrestling it was basically my life in HS...but i probably wont start actually wrestling for them for a long time, I even went through the thought of just ending my wrestling career, I end...

College Meal Plans?
Posted Monday April 5 2010, 11:08 pm
I'm working on finalizing my acceptance to college and one of the questions is about which meal plan I want.
There are two plans I'm deciding between.
They are both the same price.
One offers nine "meals" per week, one offers 14.
The one with nine meals gives me a higher dining allowance (basically I can buy anything on campus and at affiliated restaurants).
I'm looking mainly for people who have been to college or know people who have... did you use all of your meals each semester?
Am I better off getting the 9 meal a week plan, and buying a couple at the end of each semester if I run out?
Or will I use 14 meals a week? Did you?

Financial Aid
Posted Monday April 5 2010, 5:52 pm
I got my financial aid package from Tufts today.
They're offering me about 37.5k for next year (out of an estimated 52k).
Problem is, that leaves about 15k for me to pay by myself.
I can't afford this and I dont' want to be knee-deep in loans by the time I get my Bachelors degree.
My question: is there any way of getting MORE financial aid or am I stuck with this?

cognitive psychology
Posted Saturday April 3 2010, 9:20 am
I'm considering majoring in Cognitive Psychology.
Is this a good idea? It's something that interests me but I don't know if one can make a good career out of it.
What jobs are available to people with a masters/PhD in cognitive psychology and what do those jobs entail? Would I have trouble finding a job in this area?
Also, what salary would i be looking at?

college: difficult parents
Posted Thursday April 1 2010, 10:36 pm
So, i really, really want to go george mason university in the fall. My parents are being extremely difficult, though. It's the most expensive school I've been accepted to but it's not through the roof like a private school. I'm convinced that it's the best school for me out of all the school's I've been accepted to. I really need advice on what I can say to them to sell them on it.
Also, is it possible to get financial aid from a college just by calling them and asking them about it?

Cinematography and Preforming Arts?
Posted Thursday April 1 2010, 7:09 pm
Today my school had a college fair and it started to get me wondering about where I wanted to go,and what I wanted to do! Soooo, I've pretty much narrowed it down to Cinematography/Filming, Preforming Arts(musical theater, acting), and lastly Screenplay writing and production.
With all that said, I've found some pretty good ones in the US. But the only one I can really find that looks good is Emerson (In Boston, Massachusetts). I'm really interested in these fields and I've looked all over the internet about them and more schools with these things. But I'd really love to be referred by people who also have interest in the fields I mentioned to get a better feel of what I should be looking for. And I don't mind where it is in ...

Not Enough Aid
Posted Saturday March 27 2010, 10:19 pm
I am planning to attend Tulane University this fall and was hoping to qualify for a large scholarship. They already awarded me $25,000 a year on merit, but my family was hoping for some need-based money as well. According to their website, Tulane offers students with families making under $75,000 a year complete, loan-free tuition. We though we qualified! Both the FAFSA and the CSS profile were turned in on time, but I just received my aid offer and there is no need-based scholarship whatsoever. I didn't qualify for anything but loans and work-study. How is this possible? Both my parents are unemployed and over retirement age; we cannot afford to pay the remaining $25,000 a year without more aid! So what should I do now?

Audition
Posted Wednesday March 24 2010, 8:03 pm
I doubt this is possible but do you think you can audition for the music program at a school like George Mason late? on an instrument like French horn? Because I'm interested but the audition dates have passed and I doubt you still can.

ACT COMPASS Placement Test
Posted Monday March 22 2010, 10:41 pm
Hello friends, this is LagunaBabe and this time, I am in need of some help!
I am trying to do Post Secondary at my local college and I fit all requirements except I need an ACT score. I am taking the ACT in June, while the Post Secondary deadline is April 1, therefore, I need to take their Placement Test in order to substitue. Their Placement Test is the ACT's COMPASS Test. I am taking this test Wednesday, and have lived and breathed my ACT Study Guide for more than a week.
For any of you who have any experience with the test, can you tell me (not what is on it, but...) it's level of difficulty and any last-minute tips or suggestions in order to prepare? Thank you friends. :)

Coursework
Posted Monday March 22 2010, 1:19 pm
Basically, we have to do coursework, i.e. an assignment/essay that contributes 20% to my college qualification. Okay, now its technically exam work. So my laptop fuzzed out on me, so i was using a computer at college, and you had to give it in before 2.30, or it wouldnt be accepted. When i was first writing, i wrote "xxxxxxx believed that the black power movement...."!?!?!? i litterelly put 'xxxxxxx' because i was supposed to insert the name of the guy who believed it?!
So....do you think it would affect my grade? Any idea's? cheerz

Might be moving but need to apply for college
Posted Monday March 22 2010, 1:08 pm
I am just finishing up my gap year and plan on attending college for the fist time this fall. Three months ago my dad lost his job and is currently looking for another one. Tomorrow he will be interviewing for a job in Indiana (we live in Oregon).
If we were not moving, I would be applying to local universities and assuming that I would pay in-state tuition all four years. Now that staying in the state seems so unlikely I am at a loss as to where to apply. Does anyone know of any respectable four-year universities that won't cost me an arm and a leg. I am thinking about med school afterwords so I really need a high-quality education.
Is an online university an option? And if so, how do I make sure I still have a social life?...

christian university.
Posted Friday March 12 2010, 9:43 pm
I got accepted to three Cal States and a university. I applied to the university by accident, but I got in. The university is a private, Christian school. I'm Catholic. I heard many good things about the university and I would like to attend there. But, I know that it's more expensive than the Cal States. I'm thinking about going to the university though.
Do you recommend that I go a Christian university even though I'm Catholic?
