Hey, I am a junior in high school with a really bad past behind me.
I really want to get into NYU, however, during my sophomore year of high school I fell into a depression from which I just recovered. Let's just say I screwed up big time. I have to repeat a course, thats how bad it got.

but here is my "resume"

G.P.A. (as of right now)- 2.9 (it was a 3.7 my freshman year....I did really bad sophomore year.)
I've taken all honors, except for geometry in freshman year.
I failed Honors algebra 2 in 10th grade, I'm repeating regular algebra 2 this year.
I really want to major in journalism or law.
I'm in Student council, Asian student Union, Big Brothers Big sisters, FBLA and class council.

I have all A's this year though =] (so far)

I know my chances are really slim, But i've been trying really hard this year, and I would love to go to NYU.

Hello, I am considering applying to grad school and most of them have said that, in addition to a good GRE score, they also recommend a good GPA for the last two years of your undergraduate studies. Why do they do this? Do they also consider your earlier years? Do the last two years make much more of an impact than your earlier years?

The reason I ask is that my first year in college wasn't that great. If I improve in my upper-level classes, will I still have a chance for graduate school?

Thank you very much.

Doing homework with my third grader and got stumpped on a question. Looking for a 5 letter word that has the same a sound as found in whale. The 1st,3rd,4th,5th letters are all "small" letters. the second is a "tall" letter. The clue is "It flys in the sky." The answer can't be plane. Lower case "p" would be a "low" letter.
Tall letters like "t,l,k,f"
Small letters like "o,m,r,"
and no "low" letters like "j,p,q"
So.... small letter, tall letter, small letter,small letter,small letter

like xtxxx.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I love to write- I write as much as I can, well, as often as I can find a good subject. I love to write funny or sarcastic characters with a moving, suspenseful, action packed plot. Trouble is, I can't find an idea that I really love. I get twenty pages into a story and then it sits somewhere and collects dust. I have over 100 projects in the making.

My problem is that I need a good plot idea or story starter. I've been through so many I'm sick of starting over, but I can't drag myself back to old ideas. My dream is to write and publish a great novel, and I need your help!

So post all plot ideas, character ideas, or story starters that are not too silly or dark. I don't like writing horror stories. Oh, I'm 13 if that helps.

Hey all! I need some help deciding which grad school exam to take. The Post-graduate school to which I am applying allows me to take any of the following. LSAT - GRE - GMAT - Miller’s Anthology.

Here is the catch... I have a decent head on my shoulders (I am finishing my second Bachelors degree), but I REALLY am quite terrible at Math.

If anyone can provide some guidance on which examination might be the easiest for someone who is more essay / comprehension minded I would greatly appreciate it.
