Should I...Please help?
Should I do english or English Literature for year /grade 11?
Would I have a better chance of getting into Harvard College for undergraduates if I did English Literature (which is higher than regular english as one of my subjects?).

I am going to do Chemistry, Physics, Introductory Calculus, Geometry & Trigonometry, Italian and either English or english literature.

All of these subjects are the highest ones available for me for Year/grade 11. Also, would they (Harvard) prefer I did Italian (language) or a Society and Environment subject such as Geography or history or would they not care? I am extremely good at Society and Environment but the language is more challenging.
What ones should I choose? English literature is harder. I am very good at English. In english literature you analyse pieces. I am not sure whether I would be required to write poems..that is a weakness of mine). Would Harvard care about undertaking the most rigorous curriculum on off

I have a good friend from Europe who wants to continue his studies in the U.S. (Currently in high school, would like to finish in U.S.) He did research on the student visas, and saw that there are some restrictions for the F-1 student visas such as paying a "per capita" fee/tuition to the school which ranges anywere between $3000 to $10,000. This would be too costly for him. So, my question is, could he apply for a J-1 (exchange student) visa and use it to go to a public high school and live with his aunt there? Any info. would be really helpful! Thanks!

What happened to this being a light hearted pastime? I guess it is one way to get me to kick the habit! My apologies to the asker but really this was not meant to be offensive just light hearted banter.

i started out going to community college, not really giving it 100% because going to school full time and working full time is really hard & time consuming.. at night after a whole day of changing tires and oil changes and workin on 24'' rims all day ur back starts to hurt and u cant study enough / get enough sleep to wake up to go to school in the morning.. so i got a few W's and also a few F's (2) due to meetin drop deadline too late.. Well right as of now i have around a 2.0 GPA in 3 Semesters..i wanted to become a PHARMACIST. I know to get there is ALOT OF HARD WORK & good grades required. i finally am gonna put EVERYTHING aside and work my AS S off in school, gonna give it my all, 24/7 .. but my question is CAN i even do this anymore since my 2/3 Semesters at my JC i started off with a bad start? is there anyway to make up these F's or should i give up my path, and choose something more realistic due to my fck up start =( i wish i could start over.. i did good in HS though..
