trying to start college
Posted Wednesday January 27 2010, 10:39 pm
I just graduated from faith academy but i was on TECH prep - so does that mean i cant go to a university college , do i have to start off at a technical college ?
also what is the difference in a masters degree , bachelors degree , or just going to school for a certificate ? will it make a difference in the future getting a job in whichever one of those 3 i decide to go for ?
and if i start at a tech school , will i be able to get my degree in the 2 years that im there for or will i have to move up to a university school and do more years of schooling ?
im thinkin about going for either business management or pharmaceutical technologies !
i want to end up being a manager at a resta...

chosing a major
Posted Thursday January 21 2010, 9:51 am
16/f
i'm in a high school program where i'm a junior in high school and a freshman in college. i will be able to graduate with my associates degree and my high school diploma. the thing is, many people tell me that i have enough time to chose a major. but the thing is, the principal and the teachers here says that they won't worry if we don't chose a major yet. until, next year (my senior year) and i still don't know what they will worry about us. the thing is, i want to be able to have a major where in the future i can easily find a job, something i enjoy doing. i was thinking about majoring in web design, graphic design, or consoling (help relationships or such). what are the possibilities about finding a job that hire those people in california or texas?

Meeting with Head of Dept.
Posted Thursday January 21 2010, 4:11 am
I didn't get into the course I wanted to get into, and so I was thinking maybe I should make an appointment with the Head of Dept. of Psychology, and talk about it. Because I was only 2 points away from getting in, do you think it's a good idea?
I did really well in my Cambridge IGCSE exam, and so I was wondering if I could use that to show that I am serious and that I can do well, it was just a slip of 2 points this time. And that psychology is truly my passion, it really is. I adore helping people out with their issues and just making them feel better about themselves and understand that they can't control everything that happens in their life.
I'd be a terrific psychologist, and I know it! I just need the chance to prove it...

Uni of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia
Posted Wednesday January 20 2010, 9:56 pm
Hey there,
I did my year 12 in a school called Hubbard's School and I took 3 subjects only, apparently only Uni of Queensland (UQ) will accept students who have done 3 subjects too. So I applied for BSC and the cut off rank is 77, I got 75 as my rank..
So I won't make it into semester 1, but is there something I can do in the few months before semester 2 starts? To boost my rank? So I can apply for semester 2 and hopefully get in this time.
It's a little embarrassing as I have told some friends about me going to uni and nothing will stop me and that. Cried the whole day today because I felt like such a failure! :(
Thanks in advance!

credit hours + housing
Posted Tuesday January 19 2010, 12:15 am
im a freshman at a large university. last semester i took 16 credit hours but BS'ed around and got off to a really bad start and failed 2 classes, which is awful considering i graduated highschool with honors. this semester im turning over a whole new leaf and am ready to do what i have to do to get at least a 3.0 this semester if not a 4.0 and i know i can do it if i stay focused. at my school, freshman are required to live on campus in the dorms. 2 of my friends and i are looking at apartments for next year and are getting ready to sign our lease in the next couple of weeks. however, because i failed those 2 classes last semester i won't have earned 30 hours by the end of the semester so technically i won't be considered a sophomore. does...

ACT's SAT 2's
Posted Sunday January 17 2010, 12:57 pm
I want to be a biology major at one of these 5 schools I want to apply to
UNC Chapel Hill
Rochester U
George Washington U
Drexel U
Stony Brook U
All of them require SAT's, but do any of them require ACT's, SAT 2's, or any other exam I don't know of? How do you prepare for them? I hear for particular majors you must take particular subject tests, and depending on your major for particular schools you wont have to take the ACT's or SAT 2's. I'm so confused with the whole proccess so if you have any idea, help! I wan't to take tests that will help me get in for my major, but I don't want to potentially waste money and time if I don't do so well and I don't need it. Thanks!

Edit my essay
Posted Saturday January 16 2010, 12:16 pm
I am living where no one speaks english and I really need some help editing my essay:
On the evening of August 12, 2009 I stepped out of a taxi and into the one place I had been longing to go for the past twelve months. The high altitude made the air seem almost too thin to breath, and the huge volcano, Misty, that overlooks the city was disappearing into the twilight. Ignoring my dizziness, I ran up to the first girl I could see and knelt down. I am sure that the grin I had on my face was the largest and goofiest she had seen in her life. “¡Soy Katie!” I blurted, “¿Cómo te llamas?”
“A-Audrey,” she answered hesitantly, not quite sure what to make of this overjoyed stranger who acted like meeting her wa...

Hello im currently doing my pre-requist. courses to get into the practical nursing program. The only problem is that i have a very weak stomach anything with veins makes me sick to my stomach like im going to pass out.

I've been told that you'll get over your weak stomach after a little while. Is there anything i can do right now that would help. My classes show movies about surgery, stiches, staples, etc. And i get grossed out. Any help would definitely be appreciated!
Thanks and i rate!

Minority Status
Posted Saturday January 2 2010, 8:30 am
I know minorities hve a greater chance of getting into Ivy League colleges because they want a diverse student body.
I'm 1/8 Native American; would that affect their admissions decision? I wrote my college essay about finding out about this part of my heritage because that was a pivotal point of my life.
If it, in fact, does positively affect their decision, would I be asked to prove it? Because I have absolutely no proof (it's a long story). :(

Grad School- Below Passing Grade...
Posted Wednesday December 23 2009, 8:58 pm
I am in a masters program, and have to take a number of prerequisite courses. The minimum passing grade in the prerequisite (undergrad) classes is a C-. There is one class I struggled with all semester, and we took a killer final, which is worth half the grade.. I am afraid that I might have done poorly, which would drop my grade to maybe a D+...right on the border.
Our course plan states that any student who gets below a C- in any course can be kicked out of the program. I am so nervous now...for anyone with familiarity with grad school (or who has gone to, or is in grad school), if I get a D+ and not a C-, is there a chance that the faculty would be somewhat flexible and allow me to stay in the program?
