California here I come?
Posted Thursday July 23 2009, 1:58 am
I want to be a journalist; after I graduate high school I want to work at a major magazine or newspaper. Would it be smart to go to college in California? So much happens there and it's kind of the center for magazines and newspapers. There and New york, but i'm not really fond of new york.
So what is the best, or top two undergraduate journalism programs in California? I want a back up. I have a 3.9 GPA.

is having a facebook an absolute MUST for a college social life?
Posted Monday July 20 2009, 11:13 pm
i was just wondering if having a facebook is absolutely pivotal to have an active social life in college. i just have never liked the idea of social networking websites (i hate taking pictures and i think people get too engrossed in the "drama" of it all), and prefer to contact my friends via text message, e-mail, aim, or WOW! over the good ol' phone.
so... will i still be able to go to parties, hang out, whatever if i don't have one in college?

class rank
Posted Sunday July 19 2009, 10:08 pm
okay this may be a stupid question but i was trying to figure out my class rank and all i did was divide my position by the number of students right? i mean i don't know how else to figure it out. But i got that i was in the top 5% of my class and that didn't seem right. So my rank is #28 out of 488. So does that mean I'm in the top 5%???

How many credit hours per year?
Posted Monday July 13 2009, 8:44 pm
I'm planning on going to the University of Michigan, after my senior year this coming up year. So, I'm in the Class of 2010.
I just got my AP Calc score back today, and I got a 5, which I'm really happy about. I've done the research, and it looks like I'm getting 2 credit hours for getting a 5, at least in the college I'm planning on going into.
Here's my question, though. I'm wondering, on average, how many credit hours each year of undergrad is about? Because if I get at least a 4 on the AP tests I'm doing next year [Biology, Chemistry, English, and Statistics], I can potentially graduate high school with 21 credits, so I want to know how much of my freshmen year would already be over before it even starts....

College or no college?
Posted Sunday July 12 2009, 10:28 pm
Im supposed to be going away to school this fall. I graduated in 2008 and stayed home for my first year and commuted to community college but Ive been accepted to a state university and am supposed to start. My main problem is I dont really want to go, I know that I will have a hard time finding good jobs and such if I don't. But I just really dont want to go. Do you think I should? Or should I stick around and try to find a job somewhere?

Biology the right major?
Posted Wednesday July 8 2009, 12:12 pm
Ok. So if anyone could help me, that'd be great. I would like to work in a hospital for children. I'm not sure what I would like to do in the hospital though. I think maybe be a nurse or have something to do directly with the children. If anyone has any information whatsoever on any of these topics and ways i can contribute involving working in a children's hospital, please, do tell.
Thank you!

Iam an graduate in B.Sc biotech doing MBA in a college in chennai(India). This is my second year of graduation and i have to opt any one as specialisation from HR, MARKETING, FINANCE & SYSTEMS. My field of interest is HR.

Iam in a confused state of mind whether to choose the subject on my field of interest or go for some other option. Kindly guide me to choose best option and also tell me about its carrer prospects and growth.

University of NC - Chapel Hill
Posted Sunday June 28 2009, 11:44 pm
I have heard stories about there being some lore about a tree on the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill. It seems to vary from the school burning if the tree falls to couples that sit under such tree will get married. Does anyone know anything about the myths. I would just like to know what the "official" myth is.
Also, if you know anything about a Silent Sam myth. That info would be appreciated as well.

College Problem: Rejected for admission How can I appeal?
Posted Sunday June 28 2009, 3:29 pm
Last week, I was rejected from the arts program of one of my choice schools (due to a lower academic average but they put me on hold and waited till now to tell me) that I really wanted to go to (I'm transferring from community college). The website told me that I could appeal any decisions by directly contacting the person who sent me the letter. And then send a letter to enrollment services and after that, I could even appeal it to the senate.
So I'm going to e-mail them and hope they'll change their minds. My problem is that my early grades were crap because I was going through a lot of problems psychologically and socially. In the past year, I have been really trying hard and my GPA went up from 2.78 to 3.22 in the past semester ...

AHHHHH College application
Posted Monday June 22 2009, 11:30 pm
Ok So I know that college have a fee for applying to their college, but my friend found this site called zinch.com. It has this college application wizard called college zapps but the cost is only $5 an application. Does that mean that I don't have to pay the application fees from the schools themselves or not.

Air Force ROTC
Posted Friday June 19 2009, 11:13 pm
Hi,
I am a junior in high school and I am strongly considering joining the AFROTC program. However, my parents are STRONGLY against it. When I even mentioned the word ROTC to my mom a few months ago, she started crying and made me promise I wouldn't do anything in the military. I was at dinner with my dad the other day, and I told him what I wanted to do. He said he can't support my idea and that he doesn't agree with it.
What should I do? I really don't want to do this without the support of my parents. I was thinking I could write a letter to my mom explaining my plans, because I never get anywhere when I try to talk to her.
Thanks for your time.

Tape Recorders
Posted Tuesday June 16 2009, 6:54 pm
I am an upcoming freshman at a community college in the United States. I also plan on transfering to a university after 2 years to major in Literature/English.
I am trying to get a list of everything I will need for college together so I can start preparing for the amount of money I will be spending, etc. I found the perfect tape recorder from Office Depot that was $100 (not bad for the features it has), and I would like to buy it to assist me with my note taking. Many educational wesbties suggest having one, but they also say that some professors don't allow them. I don't want to pass up the good deal on this recorder, but I also don't want to buy it if I will not be able to use it.
Should I get it or not?
