Higher Education (University +) - December 2006

I just wanted to know if an 89 average (about 3.5-3.6 gpa), 1800 on SATs (reading, math, and writing combined), and a bit of volunteer experience can get me admission to SUNY Binghamton. How about Cornell? I plan on applying early to Cornell if my grades are high enough, and if not, then Binghamton. All suggestions and comments are welcome. Thanks!

I have a 4.1 GPA, but my rank is low because my school is extremely competitive (it takes a 4.4 average to get into the top 10%). I live in Texas if that helps.

I have taken 9 AP classes, and I got a 1900 on my SAT.

My extracurriclars are as follows:

-Debate Team- This is what I spend most of my time in.
I qualified for, and participated in, the state tournament for 3 years and was captain of Lincoln Douglas Debate as well as Webmaster and Secretary of the team. I have won 1st place in 4 tournaments and 2nd in 2 tournaments and 3rd in 3 tournaments.


-Orchastra (3rd best orchastra in the state, although I only participated in the program for 2 years)

-Model U.N

-WorldQuest

I need a realistic view of my chances please!!

U.S. is considered one of the technologically advanced countries in the world, and as such, is target for intelligence gathering and tecnological/economic espionage. At the same time, universities are always trying to form partnerships across the world and attract foreign students into engineering and other fields involving technology. Where does the alturistic goal of sharing knowledge start to conflict with the desire to keep technological advances at home? Can these two goals co-exist? What do you think?

I was taught that the world spins around the sun at a tilt and that is how we have different seasons and days get shorter or longer etc. Now because it tilts and the way it rotates, if it is winter here and cold here, would it be warm and summer on the other side of the world?

my gpa is a 2.0 and I plan to continue to improve on it. I have not completed most of my pre-med reqs. I was wondering if I should get my psych degree then after that go back to school and get the pre-med stuff done or just do it now before I graduate.

If you have info about living in the dorm costs too, that would help.
I called them and no one calls you back!

I want to apply for graduate school, but having to pay back a school loan terrifies me. I also wonder if the course work is going to break me down having a job and being a mother. If you are in grad school or have finished, what is your advice?

I was wondering how big a disadvantage it is in taking pre-med requisite courses at a community college? I graduated with a BS in Compter Science and work full time for a software company. I began taking medical school pre-requisites at a community college while working full time. Will medical schools look down on these credits?

I am fully aware that my whole situation will be taken into account: I do work full time, I do volunteer in an emergency room (and have been on and off since high school), both while taking 2 pre-req night courses a semester, and I do know I need to be explicit and sincere in my reason for switching career paths as well. Oh..and the damned MCAT.

So I'm just trying to position myself in the best way possible. I don't plan to matriculate at a school as a pre-med, I just want to take the pre-reqs. Any advice on if I really have to lay down the cash just to take some bio and chem courses at a 'reuputable' school?

I finished an Associates degree in 2005 and my enlistment in the military doesn't expire until 2009. I just wanted to know if the amount of time I've been out of school will make it difficult when I apply to a University to finish my Bachelor's degree. I'll be applying to a University of California campus (probably UC Davis).

This country is making it more difficult for a person to afford college, yet most careers require the higher education. Brazil is considered a third world country but their colleges are FREE! What does that say about us?
