Higher Education (University +) - January 2007

I am in my junior year and I have a 3.73 weighted GPA and an 1830 SAT. Do I have a chance during the admissions process? Another scenario: I'm taking the SAT again in May and I am working for a 2100+ this time. I'm pretty sure by the end of 2nd semester, my overall weighted GPA should be about a 3.8-3.9. Will these improvements get me into UCSD? Thanks :)

My goal is to attend a top private university, but I don't see how my family will be able to afford it. I'm currently a high school sophomore doing very well in school; however, I'm in no outside activities, no athletic programs, etc.

My mother has been ill for many years and outside activities are very difficult for me, although not impossible. Add to this the pressures of taking a nearly full schedule of Honors or AP classes each semester and I don't have a lot of time left in my day. In other words, I won't have a music or athletic scholarship under my belt and there's no time to even start at this point.

Does this mean I shouldn't even try to apply to a rather highly selective school? My Mom attended Northwestern University in the 1980s and they met her financial need, with the balance due made up with student loans. Are some colleges still so generous or has the financial aid system completely changed? Thanks.

How many years does it count? Because some people told me that 2 years at a community college means only 1 year at a university or college.

I took the PSAT as a sophomore this year and received the following scores with no practicing before test date:

Critical Reading--57
Math--59
Writing---55
Total = 171
Percentile compared to Juniors who took test 81%

I'm in all Honors and AP classes and received straight As last semester. My non-weighted GPA is 3.8 and my weighted GPA is 4.3.

Do you think I might have a chance at a rather highly selective school like Northwestern University, for example?

I want to major in pharmacy. I was wondering if I could go to a community college for two years and take and finish all my core classes, and later transfer to another college to take the pre pharm classes?
My guidance counsellor says we can't go to a community college and then transfer into a pharmacy school.

I keep telling my brother that he's making a very big mistake but he tells me he's making the best decision of this life. I just wnat to know what you think of it. Currently opinions between friends and family are split.

I am completing my credits for high school and should be done in the next 10 months or so. However, I am so confused about what I want to do after I'm done. I want to go to college but I'm not sure what I want to study there. I'm thinking something to do with English of Cooking but I love both. However, I'm a little old fashioned and after me and my husband have children, I do not plan on working. I want to stay at home with my family. My husband believes, even if I don't plan on working, it's important to have a n education because it makes you more open minded about the world around you and you can raise your children in a better environment. We have a bit of financial issues but I still really want to go to college. I am just wondering, will it be a waste of money if I go since I don't plan to work?

The ivy-league has the oldest coleges in the US. I think that might be their main reason for all their prestige. For all we know an Ivy-league school could be just as good as any state school. I think they're held in high esteem because they were the first schools in the country, and no one could look anywhere to other education at first. Hence all these great scholars attended ivy league schools and thats how the ivies got their rep. I've read several articles on how ivy league education is comparable to many other colleges. We have a lot more options now, but yet people consider the ivies the best of the best, when in reality that esteem might just been based on the fact that they were founded before any other school. anyone agree?

My gpa in my master's program was a very mediocre 3.45 and my GRE scores from before I entered my MA program weren't too good either, except for the analytical score, which I got a 6.0 on. What are some decent schools that would accept me into their Political Science PhD program? I've been looking at Vanderbilt, George Washington, UCLA, Boston College, UMASS.....any other ones that I would have a semi-decent shot of getting into? Remember this is an MA program, so a 3.45 is much worse than a 3.45 in an undergrad program. Thanks for your help

Question as a result of a daft alcohol induced query.

1) How many journal-published papers did you produce directly from your Ph.D. data total (not including work done post-Ph.D / D.Phil)?

2) In how many of these papers were you first or more importantly corresponding author (again not including work done post-Ph.D / D.Phil)? Perhaps a better way to ask is with how many of these papers did you actually do the donkey work and wrote the paper?

As far as I've been able to make out, most Ph.D. graduates finish with one journal paper, their primary or secondary supervisor being the first or corresponding author.

I am currently a freshman majoring in Food and Nutrition. Upon graduation, I will be eligible for an Internship, followed by the ADA to become a registered and license dietitian (RD LD). However, I wish to pursure a job in food and nutritional research/development, not working in a hospital make food plans, etc. I'm thinking about going to graduate school and obtaining a Master's of Science in Food Science or Nutritional Science, as well as doing the internship in order to get accredited to be an RD LD. I was thinking this may be the best route (B.S. in Food and Nutrition, M.S. in Nutritional Science, as well as RD LD) in order to get all the proper education and experience to get a job in the food and nutrition research/development field. What do you think?
