I somehow managed to skip two years of high school... Today, I'm 16. I worked hard in my past and now attend Bard as a freshman, but I wish to transfer to Stanford or NYU. Both are great schools, but I question my ability to get in. Here are my statistics: Age 16, Asian American Female from New York, 29 ACT (25%tile acceptance @ stanford and NYU), 3.76 GPA. Extra-curriculars:
Top Priority: Business Club, Tennis, Personal Business that had a revenue of $150,000k / year founded at age 13 / Less Priority: Fashion design, piano, website design, film/photography. I wish I had more on my extracurricular list, including community service. I do feel guilty... I spent my time accelerating through high school rather than concentrating in high school. I feel that I made the right choice, but I don't want that to impede on my future options. Any suggestions, tips, advice would be greatly appreciated!

My son has applied to medical schools around the US. He has heard from some (they have scheduled interviews or sent rejection letters) but not all of them. When should he be concerned that he hasn't heard from the remainder of them?

I'm a Stanford psychology student. I somewhat dismayed that I haven't read as many good books as I would have liked. I certainly do not want to become a philistine. I'm not asking to become the next Frasier Crane, but I would like to be more culturally literate.

I have on my reading list books by - Nietzsche (obviously), Marx, Bertarnd Russell, Richard Dawkins, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, J.D. Salinger, Don DiLillo, George Orwell, Rosseau, Ayn Rand, Schopenhauer, Sam Harris, Conrad, Vonnegut,

Which works from that list of authors would you recommend that I read?

What books are indispensible to a college student?

This may be a silly question, but to those erudite readers - how do you read a book? - Straight through? An hour a day? Laying in bed? Sitting on a couch? Many people do not know the best way to go about reading a book.

If you don't know a word, do you look it up in the dictionary, or do you just make it out and/or skip it? Thanks!!

(im planning on retaking it) i think wha tim most worried about are my c`s . my school counselor told me that the colleges will take into consideration taht our school is one of the toughest academically, but im still worried.

I have a 3.0 GPA from USC, 5 years of experience in IT consulting (including managing a team of 12 developers), a score of 700 for the GMAT, and I'm fluent in English and in French. I have no idea what kind of school would accept someone with this profile. Should I apply for top 20 or top 40 schools?

I never took the SAT's and it's too late to take them and apply. A lot of my friends have gotten accepted already and I do not know if that was for early admission. Can I still get into one? Or is Community College the best bet?

I am completing a masters in post secondary education now but i didnt have any graduate assistanships or internships because it was distance learning. I feel that I should go back and earn a second degree in student affairs counceling to be able to secure a entry level higher education job after graduation. The second degree includes two internships and a graduate assistanship. Also I could become certified as a councelor, which is something my first masters doesnt offer. What do you think, does it really matter about the graduate experience or will my related experiences in undergrad plus my first masters be enough to secure an entry level job in student affairs?
