Education & Reference - 25 April 2007

I always hear that people get partial scholarships or full scholarships through good grades and stuff.
I wanted to know though if they give it to based on your GPA and ACT scores.
I'm a junior right now and i have a a pretty good GPA..3.7ish on a 4.0 scale. However my ACT score is not great..i got a 24.
I plan to go to the University of Illinois in Chicago
so i wanted to know if they'd consider giving me a scholarship.

Is the thickness of the envelope a sign of acceptance/denial?

I've heard that the small/thin envelopes mean rejection and the large thick envelopes mean acceptance? Is that really true? I hope not...! If so, thin envelopes will be my worst nightmare!

Alright, I need some help with an essay I have to write for my Civics class..here is the prompt:

Recently Article 4 of the Constitution has received a great deal of attention because Hawaii and Vermont have considered making a marriage between partners of the same sex a legally recognized marriage. Because of Article 4, some legal experts say that all other states also must recognize same-sex couples, married in Hawaii or Vermont, as legally being married. Therefore, these couples would have the same rights and privileges as opposite-sex married couples. In response, many states have passed amendments to their state constitutions outlawing same-sex marriage.
Put yourself in the position of a person who must interpret the federal government's role in this conflict among the states. If the federal government rules Article 6 will override the state regulations. Remember that you must interpret the law, not your personal feelings about the outcome.

I'm a junior in college who will get an Associates in Arts/Sciences in Pre nursing - also my transfer degree. I've been in school straight since i've graduated high school. Every quarter i've been in school. The older i'm getting, the more frustrating and lazy i am. I volunteer, a nursing assistant, i have the experience and "knowledge" outside of the classroom. I come from a family of doctors and nurses. I'm not saying i'm smarter and better but coming from this background, i feel familiar and comfrotable in the nursing environment.

I was pretty much told that i was "too young" and not mature to be in nursing school right now and to take my time. I feel that all my hard work the past three years meant nothing. I worked hard these past years because my goal was to get in. I don't wanna rush, i just want to get to my goal. What else am i gonna do? I've done everything, every class for nursing...the problem is i'm just "too young"...I'm turning 21 this year...

What am i gonna do?

I found that college books are really costly. Each semester I will need at least 5/6 books which will cost me at least $400 even they are used. So I am planning to make my friend over an Asian country to send the photocopy versions of the same books which are, in amount of dollars, quite cheap. In that case that would cost me only $40 instead of $400. But is there any copyright issues with it? I will use the books only for my personal use and not for resell.

I have been homeschooled from 9th grade and I am graduating next year, I am just finishing 11th grade this May. I love horses, and want to look for something in the Equine Field. I have a lot of experience in it and I just love animals. Is there any college or university that will accept me? I am homeschooled from an accredited school. It can be either online or regular classes. I have looked into the vet field, but that takes 8 years and you would have to put animals down and do stuff that I don't like to do. I want to own a boarding stable that not only boards horses, but offers lessons and everything else.
