Higher Education (University +) - September 2006

As a followup to my last questions, if I applied to Wellesley College in Massachusetts next year, what would be my chance of getting in? I'm technically an art student, but I love history and I'm interested in sociology. I'm just worried about not having enough AP's (being smart enough) and that I don't have very many extra curriculars. Would adding a few in junior year, as I'm doing, help at all?

I am currenty in high school, and plan on entering the medical field. Although I have considered becoming a doctor, surgeon, etc., these choices seem too "boring". I would rather be working to find new cures for cancer, AIDS, or other types of medical disorders and working to advance medical science.

I'm not sure what type of degree I should pursue in college, and what path of study I should pursue in medical school. Any suggestions would be great.

I'm a 20-year-old English/Journalism major and junior in college. Lately I have been feeling the pulls of my childhood dream of being a Pediatrician, which I wanted to be from age 6 to 16, instead of a writer/magazine editor. I changed my mind to writing when I realized how much science/math was involved in the path to being a doctor. I used to be fairly good at math and science (AP classes), but I mentally started doubting myself in those areas, so I switched my career area to writing.
I love writing...but I'm starting to wonder if it's possible to even turn that into a successful career. I haven't taken any of the science/ math classes required for a Pre-Health major yet. Is it too late to switch majors and take the MCAT, or would I have to stay an extra two years?
Also...is it worth it?
Thanks for all your input.

I attended college right after highschool and totally met a mess of it. I earned all my credits but my GPA was too low to be awared my diploma. 10 years later I am wanting to "redeem " myself and attend grad school in order to make a career advance. I have been fortunate enough to be gainfully employed in my chosen field and I understand that my work experience could count towards grad admissions. My issue though is raising my undergrad GPA enough to be awarded my degree...Does anybody have any advice for me? Short of starting over again completely, I don't know where to start.

Truth can lie through half-truths: What is a half-truth ?

The question seems easy, a half-truth is half true, suggesting that other part is a lie. Well that is part of the answer, you see there are several other types of half-truths.

The other more deceptive form of half-truth is a statement that is not the whole truth, suggesting the truth in quesiton is true.

Here is an example:

At a war memorial on a Christian Church there was a quote from the Bible, the Gospel according to John.

"No greater love hath any man than to lay down their life for their fellow man"

That statement seems to rationalize dying as a soldier for your country.

Except that statement from taken from Verse that ends with another sentence, "love oneanother'.

So it obvious that this statment is taken out of the paragraph, out of context to deceive us; the work of hte devil ?

There are more types of half-truths; what are they ?

Hello. I am interested in the different religions of the world. I would like to study as much of them as i can. I looked into theology but from all the questions and answers on here it seems that theology in america only teaches the history of christianity..is this true? or do schools that offer theology as a major actually cover many religions? thanks for your time guys.

Hey I am taking a class called Gender & Society. Basically dealing with male and female relationships and roles in the workplace, home, parenting and such. I am having a REALLY hard time deciding what to do a research paper on. I am suppose to pick a subject like "How men and women parent differently" and write a thesis on it. I don't want to just chose what is above because I don't want to do the same exact thing as everyone else. Any ideas?
