I've been looking at that school lately and I just wanted to know if it's a program that's almost impossible to get into, or is it worth giving it a try. Everytime I look at fastweb.com it just gives a percentage for the whole school, and I really just want to know about the one program.

Okay, so I asked a question earlier about wanting to go to graduate school in CA, FL, or TX and blindly assumed that admissions for graduate school mirrored closely that of undergraduate admissions. Ok, now that I know I'm wrong, I am worried that I may NEVER get into grad school. I suppose it would be helpful to know exactly what I wanted to study in grad school, but even when I make that final decision, I feel as though I have already compromised too many options. I have not done particularly well during my undergraduate years...not terrible, just very average. I lost much of my focus and drive to do well in school for a number of reasons...partly because I haven't had a goal that I was passionate about pursuing. Although I have attended a prestigious northeastern liberal arts institution, I feel like my very averagetranscript simply won't get me in to any graduate programs. Will the GRE save me if I do well on it? I've heard not. Did I waste my undergraduate education?

I want to get a job working with the environment such as measuring the air quality, water samples etc. The college I am looking into offers Environmental Technology would that be the degree I need or should I look into something else? Do I need a 2 year or 4 year degree? I was also curious, how hard is it to actually find a job like that when I finish school?

Ok, so I'm not exactly sure what I plan to go to graduate school for, but I know I would like to go to school in Florida, Texas, or California...preferably the flagship state school of each state. I am not from any of these states, so does that mean it's more difficult to get into graduate programs at these schools? Or, in graduate school, does state residency not matter so much? Also, how difficult is it to get into graduate programs at state schools as compared to the elite private university graduate programs? I know that UCLA, UF, and UT Austin are all great state schools, so are they really really hard to get into graduate school wise?

I am currently working towards my BA in Radio-TV and want to apply for an MA degree in Radio-TV at the same college I currently go to. I need 3 recommendation letters. My problem is that some of the professors that I had that taught courses within the Radio-TV major no longer teach at my university and I have no idea where they currently are. The other Professors I have had for Radio-TV courses most likely will not remember me if I were to approach them and ask them for a letter. I only have 1 professor in the Radio-TV major who has offered many times to write me a good letter (I've had him for 3 different classes). For other 2 recommendation letters, would it be ok if I get Professors from other fields to write me letters? Is that really going to hurt my chance at admission? By other fields, I mean classes I have taken in areas such as English, Womens Studies, Humanities and/or Sociology.
I have a 3.65 gpa and will have a great writing sample.

Tell me what you think. Thanks.

I've got a friend who wants to change career and has expressed a desire to work as a vet or some related job involving animals.

Trouble is, she doesn't think she can get the qualifications. She had personal problems in school and ended up with bad grades, but I know this is purely down to the problems she had at the time because she is a very intelligent girl. She went straight into work in the office of a taxi firm at 16 and has been in the same job since then (she is now 21) and has been promoted to manager.

What can she do to become a vet? I know her qualifications will hinder her getting into university, but she is definately smart enough to do well if she can get a place. What are her chances of making it as a vet? Or is there a similar job that might suit her that she will have more chance of getting?

I'm in the process of applying to UVa. The application requires three essays. One they give you, the second they give you a few choices, and the third they limit you to 500 words on your choice. What is the university looking for here? Creativity? Intelligence? Something that expresses who I am? I'm having trouble figuring out how to go about anwering this one. :(

I have to make a decision which school to go to as an undergraduate. I am bilingual and have dual citizenship with France. I have the opportunity to do my studies (medecine) in Paris, a wonderful experience. The other choice is UCLA in Los Angeles which I know I will be accepted. The problem is which is better for education and experience? UCLA or University in Paris (Paris V Rene Descartes in middle of Paris)

What's your opinion. If it's at night or whenever and a girl who at home normally (like most girls) doesn't wear bras under her PJs, do you think it's acceptable if she doesn't wear them in college dorms either? Say also, the PJs are cotton and not "see-through" like some lingerie.
