I want to go to college, but I'm not a straight A student ... I've been told by some people that I have no chance of getting to college, but my guidance counselor tells me that colleges don't care about grades 9, 10 or 11. I've had teachers tell me I need to take all honors classes to go to university, I've had teachers tell me I don't. I've heard people say that college = better job and basically a better life. I've also heard people say that a lot of people go to college and then never get the job they wanted, sort of like my cousin who went to Duke and is always letting people know how miserable his life is.

I want to go to college, but I've been told so many different things, I don't know what I need to do to get there. People seem to get bitter when it comes to helping someone figure out how to get to university (especially on Yahoo Answers), it seems like it's all about who's the smartest and the name of the college someone goes to.

Most Special child are deprived to go to school due to some special reasons....they are at home and even neglected in some of their needs, yes parents give them the basic needs (food, shelther, big love) but if not educated/ trained were will they go. Isn't it that it is much better to educate/train them and give them their job, For this Special People to survive. for their living? than serving them from the time they live until they die?

the people on yahoo answers aren't passing english. it's not so much poor spelling as it is usage that worries me. i assume most people that use yahoo answers are from the US of A, but i can't tell it from the way they write. there, their, theyre, here, hear, to, too, and other usage maistakes are the rule, not the exception. also, sentence structure is so clumbsy, sentences make little, if any, sence. am i just old-skool or what? is there a new language that has evolved that i am not aware of or what? thanx.

(and i know i don't use caps. don't be too cruel. sorry)

I live in a college town where the students number 22k, but the total population number is at 50k. My question is this: Do the college students count towards the total population? Does my town have 28k permanent residents, or 78k?

I see a lot of online colleges, but they're all usually specifically for certain degrees. What if I just want to get some GE out of the way for another college?

Or what do you think would be the best answer to this situation:
I have 2 small dogs (a yorkshire terrier and a pomeranian) that would have to come with me wherever I move. I go to a community college currently and am looking to transfer (likely out-of-state) and realize that most dorms do not allow dogs. I wouldn't mind living off campus, but don't know if I would be able to afford it, and I don't have friends currently interested in going to the same schools.

Ok, here is the story: Throughout the whole semester I have never missed his class, and has done ever hw, classwork, test/quiz with a score of A or B (mostly As). Overall, I was sure I would get an A...I even calculated. So I spent, like 9 days working an a scholarship with a required GPA. I was sure my GPA was going to be 3.75. However, the b***** prof gave me 89.44%. Making my GPA to 3.5, and resulting all the hard effort I put in the course as well as the scholarship to NOTHING.
I asked him if he could give me extra credit, he said NO.
Mainly, I dont know what to do, I cant just throw all the effort I put in that scholarship...n I got B (I deserve an A!).
I am thinking of crying in front of him for extra credit (really). What should I do for him to give me extra credit...please take this seriously. Thank you.

I think it means :I'm telling the truth", but some of the other students in my ASL class say differently. I hope that someone is able to settle this debate before the holidays as school ends on Dec 20th and most of the students won't be in the next semester. Thank you

I just finished a BS in Geography with emphasis in GIS with a minor in International Business. Funny I ended up liking the minor more then the degree but since I had been in school forever, I just went with it insetad of changing.

Anyone heard about the iMBA program through PSU? Is it difficult to get into? It is online but I dont see how it would fall into the crap hole of most online degrees.

My other thought was UNCharlotte. I will be moving near that area next yr so I thought maybe doing the partime MBA thing till I could go fulltime.

I see alot of these schools require job experience already? Is this directly related to that field you will be applying to?

Class: ISM- computers, Junior level. My 4 test grades are what they are, no problem. The problem is 11% of our grade was based on 11 weekly chapter summaries we handed in. After the first few weeks we noticed that she wasn't grading our assignments. We asked her when they would be graded. She said she like to wait until the end of the semester and do them all at once. We said then how do we know how we're doing, or if we're doing them right. She said they're basically do or don't do. If you do them and cover all the basic topics you'll get 100%. I was pretty confident I had done that since I spent hours doing each one. Now that grades are done, she gave me 90's on most of them. Next problem is the 5% for attendance/class participation. I attended every single class, on time, stayed until the end, while most other students skipped and left early. For participation I am a little shy but spoke a few times when I could knowing that participation counted. I got an 85% in this area.
