Higher Education (University +) - December 2006

Universities ar so eager to accept me, however, don't want to offer me any actual good scholarships - the average has been a $1000-. I'm a minority, poor, i did 200 hours of c.s, played basketball and somehow manged to get decent grades and test scores ( GPA = 3.5 and ACT = 26 comp) but all of the univ that accepted me only offered me a very small scholarship. So far i've won 5 scholarships for $4,000 i'll probably get grants for about another $4,000 but that's only $8,000 and my yearly tuition and fees are an average of 22k (that's in state) so im going to end up owing after my first year $14,000 and then its going to end up being $18,000 (assuming I continue getting my grants) because my scholarships are going to be used up and they're non-renewable. what I'm trying to say is $68,000 for a bachelor degree worth it? I'm so discouraged I don't even want to go anymore!

I already have an A.A. in Liberal Studies and I am looking to go pre-med.

I would like to be a Nutritional Psychiatrist.
Does anyone have any recommendations on which Bachelors and Masters Degree to take?

Any advise on what courses are needed to get my M.D.?

Thank you.

I'm really looking forward to starting up school next year,
in the SPRING 2007 semester.

By the way, I will be turning 30 this January 2007.

Thank you for your thoughtful responses and suggestions.

Respectfully, רה פנינהіא

After about an hour it starts to hurt, so by the time I have done a three hour exam it is really hurting. Does this happen to you too?

In university, if I have to leave class early, are you supposed to tell your Prof and explain why? And what do you say?

I noticed that Ivy league schools only offer non career specific majors like economics rather than accounting, bussiness management....When I flipped thru the job section of newspaper's classifieds, companies are more willing to recruit workers who have a career specific degree. So what do you do with your Ivy league degree when you do not have enough credentials to really work unless you continue with a graduate degree? Let's say you completed ur Ivy League degree and you want to go on to grad school but do not have enough financial resources, wouldn't you be stuck in a rut? I know those non career specific degrees are supposed to make you into this critical thinking, genius person but you simply cannot survive just by being smart!

I need to nominate a student at my school for admision into the harvard athletic department. Last year i had received a letter from harvard asking to nominate any students that met certain requirements (academically/athletically) , but this year i did not. I have a 6 foot 3 , 300lb defensive tackle , senior who is more than capable of competing at the div 1,2,3 level. Academically he received a composite score of 28 on the ACT and has a 3.2 GPA, futhermore, he has taken several "advanced" classes. Im just trying to find out how I go about relaying this information to Harvard , I know that it was one of his first choices but so far he has already been offered several full-rides to other local universities. Thank-you in advance for any information.

Are your chances better if you attend an Ivy League for your undergraduate degree, but only managed to obtain average scores; or attend a mediocre college, but ranked the top few % of your class? Do admission officers take into consideration your non academic activities, work experience, or just your undergraduate major? Are your chances of admittance better if you obtained your undergrad degree from the same university you are applying for a graduate degree?

I am almost done with my MA in international relations and wanted to go on and get a phd in political science. Schools list gpa's for undergrad students looking for a phd, but is it different for students that are coming out of grad school with a MA? Do schools still want to look at undergrad grades, or only focus on grad school work? Also, are master's students given a preference over undergrad students in the admissions process since they already took some grad classes? If anyone has gone from a MA to PhD I would be glad to hear your opinons, thanks.

I am taking the GA Bar Exam in Feb. 2007. I have been looking around for a good bar review course, but I can't decide which one looks good. I've heard good things about BARBRI, but it is VERY expensive for what you get (sitting in a lecture hall, watching a video tape). Does anyone have any other recommendations? Also, anyone know anything about Ameribar (I stumbled across them on the internet)?
