Education & Reference - 31 August 2007

He is going to the English language institute at my university to learn english as a second language, after that I am motivating him to get his GED. He already finished High school in Mexico but he needs to take the GED exam. After taking his GED I want him to apply to my university. He really wants to study and graduate, its been his long life dream. He would be around 46yrs old when he graduates is it too late? or extremely difficult? Im a sophomore at college already and I would help out my dad all I can. Will employers consider my dad? he wants to study something in electricity or history. Thanks.

I want to study engineering. I have an ACT score of 26, and SAT score of 1770, and lots of extracurriculars.
I really don't know where to go to college.

I've been taking dance lessons for 10 years, singing for 4 years, i was involved in 4 clubs in high school, including NHS, i've organized two charity drives which have made a lot of money, i was an intern at NIH, was in a biotech summer camp, was a finalist for a vocab bee twice, won first place for singing competition twice...and more.

can i get into the university of maryland (college park)? what other colleges can i get into? i know that both my GPA and SAT scores suck.

School just started, and we have been getting tons of homework. I have been doing it all, but still feel like I am not doing enough, and like it is not good quality and I will get a bad grade. I know my work isn't bad, but why am I so stressed out about this?

I am currently entering Grade 11. I live in Canada and I will be going to the U.S for College.

What I wanted to know was do I need to take the SAT to get into College in the U.S or am I excused from it because I am Canadian?

A guidance chancellor at an American University told me I would be excused from taking the SAT because I'm Canadian.

What I want to know is if in Canada we have an equivalent to the American SAT. Or are we simple excused from it when applying to U.S University's or do we have an equivalent test here that I just dont know about?
