When I went to a university, I had to take an essay test almost every time I turned around . Being able to successfully take an essay test is the most useless ability on the planet . Nobody needs to take an essay test once they get out of school, and if nobody needs to take an essay test once they get out of school, what's the point of giving essay tests ? Nobody ever says to a group of job applicants, "If you get the highest score on our essay test, we'll give you a job !" . Why should the ability to take essay tests be rewarded ? I say essay tests are immoral and unethical, and they should be illegal !

I am currently applying to some top 25 programs in liberal arts, specifically phd programs in english/ comp lit at Berkeley, UCLA, Irvine. I did really well in my verbal score (700 at 96 percentile) but mediocre (4.5, 51 percentile) results in my analytical writing section. I graduated with 3.6 gpa in english from Chapel Hill. What are my chances at a good program with a lackluster gre writing score?

If you switch your attention to the "homework help" section of this site you will no doubt recognise some of the work set by you for your students to do on their own at home. By asking Yahoo Answerers to help them are they "playing the game" or do you care?

I have always been told that during college selection, major will not matter during the selection process. However, I have been rejected from a UC and I don't understand why. Another person, who applied got in. I beat the person's GPA, she had a 3.2 and i had a 3.41. She had a 1680 SAT scorew while I have an 1810. I've read her essay, so that's not why she got in. We are in almost the same clubs and sports. The only difference is she applied for Psycology and I applied for Business Economics. For future refences for the jrs. does major matter when you apply to college?

A gardener has a field in the shape of an isosceles triangle. He decided to plant it with rose bushes with the aid of his apprentice. He planted the first row with 101 bushes along the base, then his apprentice planted the next row with 100 bushes. They continued in this way, planting alternate rows, until the whole field was planted. The gardener planted the last row, which contained 1 bush.
How many more bushes did the gardener plant than the apprentice?
