Education & Reference - 17 December 2007

I also write for my town newspaper. I got a bunch of copies of all this, and I will be sending this when I apply to college this week. My question is, will they give this back to me after their done reviewing my application?

"Instead, they revel in their civilization and think themselves superior to those that are connected to nature, who(m?) they refer to as 'Savages'."

I was thinking it was whom, but I'm not sure. I always have trouble with that. =P

Oh, I have to write a compare/contrast essay with "The Lives Of A Cell" by Lewis Thomas and "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, so that's what my sentence is about, if it seems a little odd.

Thanks! =D

I got a B+ in AP Literature and Composition (English) and a B+ in Physics. I'm a Junior, and these are my other first semester grades,
Grad. Ex*: A
Native Spanish 3: A
Leadership: Pass
Chemistry: A
Pre-Calculus: A-
Will the B's have a bad effect on an application? Keep in mind that I want to get into either a UC (like Berkley) or a private college (like Stanford or Santa Clara). I always aimed for Stanford, but I'm starting to feel like it's getting out of my reach. Would it just be better to drop Physics and take a regular English 11 class and get a 4.0 (highest grade point average you can get at my school, A- is a 4.0, A+ is also a 4.0). I really don't want to but I need someone else's opinion. I mean, will colleges really take into consideration that I'm taking harder courses? I'm a nervous wreck right now, can someone please give me an honest answer?

*Grad. Ex is a class that Juniors or Seniors take at my school to work on semester long projects, that you must finish to graduate.

Here's the poem I wrote. I would like to know if it uses alliteration. I tried to, but if it doesn't can soembody help me?

Winter

Brisk but beautiful white snow,
Falls furiously out of the foggy skies.
The cold air crawls through the night,
And the baby bird no longer flies.

The days are windy and covered with white snow,
While the streets are silent and lone.
The outdoors seem so abandoned,
That you can't go outside without feeling alone.

Winter is wonderful,
But sometimes a bit dull.
The touch of soft snow,
Can make you lull.

I just finished my first semester of graduate school. (MPA degree) I took 3 classes and I got an A, a B+, and a C+. These are good enough to keep me in the program but I feel like they're not stellar. I'm considering going on to get another Master's degree or a PhD after I graduate and I'm just wondering how my grades will compare to other applicants.


Thanks.
