My parents are immigrating to the US by the legal way, but my little sister cannot come with them. We don't have anybody to take care of her over there. My very last option is to temporarily get a student visa for her while one of my parents becomes elegible to petition for her. Is this possible? She won't qualify for a Turist Visa. I've heard about F1 visas for college students, what about for an 8-year-old? Thanks for any answers.

This may seem like a silly question, but I want to be extra careful. Have you ever had to submit an application fee twice (once when applying to the graduate school and twice when applying to the department)? Most places allow you to pay online, but I've noticed that they also mention submitting checks.

My parents are refusing to pay for my boarding tuition and I need to take matters into my own hands and find myself a scholarship that will cover my tuition as a boarder. Can anyone reccommend any sites/scholarships/ideas? It might help that I play three sports and belong to numerous clubs? thanks

A candle is placed 36 cm from a screen. Where between the candle and the screen should a converging lens with a focal length of 8.0 cm be placed to produce a sharp image on the screen?

(the answers are 24 cm and 12 cm, but i need help on how to figure out those answers)

You have to draw a diagram to help solve the question, as well as use The Thin Lens Equations.

This is a grade 11 question by the way.

1) What is usually the deadline for early applications?
2) What is usually the deadline for regular applications?
3) When do you find out if you were accepted/rejected/deferred for early action?
4) When do you get your acceptance/rejection letter in the spring?

I understand it is slightly different for different colleges, but I am looking for the average timing. For instance, do you find out about early action before or after Thanksgiving? Before or after the regular applications are due? Do people get their letters in the spring before or after spring break?

I am a true Cali girl, but I got into an amazing school Virginia. I have this amazing opportunity but I'm not sure what to do. I'm afraid to move away but I'm also afraid that if I give it up I'm losing the best opportunity I could ask for. I've never been to Virginia and know no one. Can anyone give advice who either made this decision or has friends who have. Thank you!!!
