Education & Reference - 6 October 2007

Rumor has it that if a college or university considers you for a fellowship, they would like to see that you intend to obtain your Ph.D from them as well (and it should be mentioned as such in your personal statement). True or false? I have also heard that it's not a good idea to study at the same institution for your bachelors *and* masters. Does that hold true for masters and Ph.D degress too? What should I include and what should I not include on my personal statement? Any other general suggestions about the personal statement are welcomed. :-)
Thank you for your advice!

I just need some information about a paper I'm doing. I'm trying to prove that general music classes should be required at a young age (K-8) because I've heard it makes you more open in learning. (You learn better) In my highschool, that was the case. The band students had higher GPA's compared to the other students. Does anyone know of any research that has proven this?

I am currently a High School junior. I am taking two demanding AP classes that, in effect, required me to drop my French III class. Now, in order to not forget the language, I'm looking for an effective and preferrably quick way to absorb the equivalent of a French III course on an Honors level or an otherwise reputable French education.

I don't know if there's anybody who has been successful teaching English overseas without having US citizenship. I was raised in this country and I consider English my first language I’m just not a citizen yet. What are my chances of succeeding?

I was writing my email signature for my email at work, and i was wondering, I saw the movie "pay it forward" ages ago and I always wondered if you could say "thanks forward"

I'm not a native English speaker and I've studied it for years and I'm going to get a degree on it, but you know, this is more than grammar native competence
