Education & Reference - 15 September 2007

Ive been thinking about getting a degree from Athabasca University which is an online school that is FULLY accreditated. I can do either 1 or 2 more years, after I get my 3 year diploma in business. Either

1 more year for a Bachelor of Human Resources and Labor Relations, or

1 more year for a Bachelor of Management, or

2 more years for a Bachelor of Commerce

What do you think? Anyone else have an opinion on Athabasca, remember its fully accreditated, not a degree mill.

I screwed up big time my first two years of high school but my mom had breast cancer, and my dad lost his job so it was a really tough time for me. Currently I'm starting my Junior year of high school with an average 3.29 weighted GPA.My class rank is low 271 out of 991 but my class is very smart and competitive.I took some Honors/AP classes but my transcript for the most part are filled with C's with some B's and some A's. I still have this year and half my of my senior year to improve my GPA.And I'm determined to do better.For SAT what score should I aim for?My extracurriculars are not too impressive but I do have them. I'm part of two clubs and hold the position of treasury in one of them.I'm part of a peer to peer helping program at my school.And I volunteer at my local hospital.

The schools I'm looking at(I live in CA):
UCSC
UCR
UC Merced
UCSB
UCI
UCD

And can you tell me what your high school GPA was/is?What college you ended up going/well go.

considering you make all good grades, wouldn't you want your first semester to be accounted into your GPA before you apply?
what's the advantage of early action?

Grammar books tell that :"got" is used (for past participle of get) in english. and even "gotten" (in appendix : grammatical differences between US and UK) is used too. is there any difference in the meaning or rule? which one is preferred in US english? which one shall i use?
for example :
1. I got up and got dressed quickly. (from cambridge grammar book)
I got up and gotten dressed quickly. (is this true also?)

2. I got wet or I gotten wet in the pouring rain?

Shimer University in Chicago. There are less than 100 students, so there aren't really a variety of classes to take. Do you reccomend going there/to a liberal arts college? What are the advantages/disadvantages of going to one? Any other information would be great! Thanks!

I am graduating HS this year, and looking at private colleges (about 40K). My parents are divorced and I live with mom. She makes 12K or less, but my dad makes about 100K. He isn't planning on helping with college. So, is there any way we can MAKE him? What kind of aid from the govt./state should I get? (they only look at my mom, right?) From the school? (nothing because of my dad, right?).

Additional details: my mom doesn't have alimony, and dad doesn't pay his full child support (agreed upon with mom). My dad has remained a big part of my life, I see him all the time, and he pays for braces, car, ect. I am also willing to work during college and such, but would have to dorm there, as it is too far away from home not to.

I live in MA if that matters, and any help would be great!
