Education & Reference - 4 October 2007

Hi everyone,
I'm 16 years old(grade 11). I've been in a private school my whole life, including going to boarding school for the last 2 years. I'm currently doing correspondence courses at home for a semester instead of being taught in a classroom. My grades have always been average, but for my grade 11 year I'm really trying to bring all of my marks up to a higher level. I participate in doing alot of community service work like the animal shelter and hospital.
I'm really wanting to go to Harvard Law School and I'm just wondering at this point is there anything in particular I should be doing or not doing..
I'm also hoping to apply for the scholarship that is rewarded to 3 Canadian students each year.
I'm really worried that if I don't start working on it now, I won't have enough accomplished to get in.
Please help!
=)

I was just wondering if anyone had received a degree from the University of Phoenix Online and if it is a real degree or just a certificate? Do employers take this degree seriously? Thanks for any stories or other suggestions!!

When I'm reading questions about colleges, and the requirements for them, I can't help but feel extremely nervous and screwed. All my life, I've done my best on everything in school, and in turn, it has landed me in honors and AP classes. Even with that, I'm doing pretty good with that too. I think my GPA at the end of my sophomore year was 3.7 or something. (although I'm not sure if it was unweighted or not).

But in the meantime, I haven't done much for the school, either because I have no school spirit, or I'm not interested in like selling cookies on the weekend or whatever.

I don't even know what I want to do in my life, and I have to apply for colleges soon. I have no idea how so many people know exactly what they want to do and what college they're aiming for.

It just makes me depressed and feel hopeless that I may not get into any Ivy League schools.

What can I do as a junior to better my chances?

The last time I was there was in 1997 and I had 2 more semester to go and I had to drop out. Now that I want to go back, I'm confused of either continuing of what I was studying or just start all over again. Should I go to the same college or somewhere closer to where I live now?

Any advice or suggestions?

I'm taking two classes this semester online. All the assignments and tests are done online; I don't have to go to the campus at all. One of the classes is very difficult and so during the tests and quizzes, I rely heavily on my books and notes to get me through. I have an A average in the class so far, but if I didn't use my books/notes during the tests and quizzes, I'd probably be failing the class.

Nobody said the tests were not open book, but for some reason I almost feel like I'm cheating. What do you think? Would you use your book?
