What is the best Ivy League School on Long Island?
I have been debating this for years as I have attended two on Long Island. I think Adelphi and LIU are the best. Narrowing it down to one I find difficult though!

LOL, some people claim that the two schools I mentioned are not Ivy League schools when they clearly are. They are both private and really expensive, catering to upscale students for the most part. Academic standards are high too.

Hey everyone, i was wondering if any current college students or past college students could help make me aware of a college that seems like a possible fit. It would be nice if the college were in Canada but if it had to be in America either in New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, or Maine. Big cities nor small towns make a difference to me as long as the college is diverse and accepting.
My "stats" are
Gpa- 3.5
SAT- 2000
ACT- 30
I am the president of my schools diversity club, i have gone on a national diversity conference for 2 years, environmental club
Interests- photography, filmography, environmental conservation
I am not sure if i will be taking AP courses (can someone also answer if these are really as important as they seem)
Thankyou for taking the time to even read this question, and i am sorry if the stats and questions like these bore you, its just that for some reason i am getting extremley nervous and i am only a highschool junior.

I'm finding out the real hard way that the school district we live in is not good when there are special ed children. My daughter is very high functioning (I don't like classifying kids like that, but to get my point across) autistic. She does need speech and social skills groups at the minimum. The school we're in is refusing all services. They're also claiming that no one in the school sees any autistic traits in her. I know this to not be true because I've spoken with other teachers. Anyway, I may have an opportunity to move, but I have no idea how to go about researching special education within a district. Both of my children are sort of stuck in the middle; They have enough issues to *need* help, but not enough to get the help.

How do I find out if the district we may move to is going to be better? Any online resources?

Hi,

I'm a CSUN student and need to improve my GPA. I dropped out of school 7 years ago and left mid semester with about 4-5 fails. I'm back now and found my school offers grade replacement, meaning if I retake a class I failed they'll replace the grade with the new one up to 15 units. Is that my best bet to get my GPA up? I did some math and even if I get all a's from here out I can't up my GPA significantly with out getting rid of those fails.

Is this my only route to replace the 5 classes? Or is it hopeless? I need a 3.0 for masters program and a 2.5 for certain jobs I'm not far away but could use some advice.


Units Taken Not Toward GPA 0.000 3.000
Units Passed Toward GPA 12.000 97.000
Grade Points 33.700 261.500
Current GPA Current 2.808
(Cumulative 2.161)

I'm from the UK wanting to study in the USA. But I have just found out 1 of the universities I was looking at is apparantly a 'Community college'...What does that mean?? Will it affect the credibility of my degree when I graduate from this kind of school? It is called 'NYIT' - New York Institute of Technology

And how easy is it to transfer from one university to another once i'm in the States?

Thanks

I know that the MBA program is unfortunately unranked, but I do not have the credentials/test scores to get into a top tier school. I am trying to make the best of my situation and get into an MBA program that is AACSB accredited, within the city of San Francisco, and will give me some regional clout.

I was thinking about attending SFSU MBA program and try to do extremely well academically... then possibly transfer to Berkeley reflecting the good grades from SFSU. My undergraduate GPA is lacking, so I thought of this idea. Is this possible?

I've screwed up. I've gotten pretty awful grades so far in high school. I'm a junior now [11th grade.] My grades were mediocre for first quarter - 4 As, 2 Bs, and a D. :( I'm really trying harder, but my cumulative GPA right now is a 3.0 at the very best. I only have the remains of this year and the next one [not as important] to get my GPA into shape for college applications. I have a horribly unrealistic dream of studying English at Cambridge. My SAT scores should be fine, and I'm almost certain I can get the 5/5/4 minimal AP requirement, but I really don't know if I can cut it.

I really wish the admissions were still based on entrance exams and an interview alone. I want to go so badly.

Is there anything I can do to increase my chances? Any way to pad my GPA?

I want to know If I can get into an Ivy or equivalent school (MIT, Caltech, Stanford.) I was born and raised in Puerto Rico so I get a big break from that. My GPA is 3.96 of 4.0 (school has no honors). My max scores on the SAT were M-700 CR-680 W-580 but I want to study Engineering so the writing shouldn't matter too much. I'm in my school's math and science teams, belong to the NHS, and took the most advanced courses my school offers, some of which were made for me exclusively. Even with that though, I know it's still pretty hard to get into schools like Harvard and MIT. Do you think I can make it? If not, what can I do to help my chances?
