Some people will ask what a certain word means (by typing it in and submitting it as a question) when it would be just as easy to go to something like dictionary.com and type in the word and find its meaning...

My goal is to attend a top private university, but I don't see how my family will be able to afford it. I'm currently a high school sophomore doing very well in school; however, I'm in no outside activities, no athletic programs, etc.

My mother has been ill for many years and outside activities are very difficult for me, although not impossible. Add to this the pressures of taking a nearly full schedule of Honors or AP classes each semester and I don't have a lot of time left in my day. In other words, I won't have a music or athletic scholarship under my belt and there's no time to even start at this point.

Does this mean I shouldn't even try to apply to a rather highly selective school? My Mom attended Northwestern University in the 1980s and they met her financial need, with the balance due made up with student loans. Are some colleges still so generous or has the financial aid system completely changed? Thanks.

I took the PSAT as a sophomore this year and received the following scores with no practicing before test date:

Critical Reading--57
Math--59
Writing---55
Total = 171
Percentile compared to Juniors who took test 81%

I'm in all Honors and AP classes and received straight As last semester. My non-weighted GPA is 3.8 and my weighted GPA is 4.3.

Do you think I might have a chance at a rather highly selective school like Northwestern University, for example?

I am an intern in a Kindergarten classroom. It is my 3rd week. There is no structure AT ALL. The kids choose their centers and switch whenever they want. I have been trying to give them structure by implementing new rules and strategies during centers, etc. I am really at a loss. It is a lower income school and there is not much support from parents. All of the class is very low and far behind. Many of them cannot write unless they are working one-on-one with a teacher. The kids bounce off the walls, do not listen, are loud in the hallway, etc. They do not listen to anything! I have tried being stern and consistent, calm, ignoring the behavior...I feel bad for the students that are making good choices because they cannot do anything fun because their classmtes can't even handle sitting quietly for less than 1 minute. There are 2 students in the class in particular that do nothing but cause chaos. We have practiced walking in the hall, sitting correctly, made up rules for the centers...
