I will have my B.A. with highest honors presenly. So, this is not question of testing well; it is an objection against standarized testing. So please, do not simply suggest that I suck it up and take the GRE. I assure you I've already heard such and from many sources. Any other information would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Every site I've been to was rather useless.

I need a school that costs around / less than $18k a year.

I am currently attending a state university in California (CSU) for a MS degree in engineering. When I first started the program, I was thinking that I will just stop at MS but now I would like to get a PhD. I am currently debating whether I should transfer to another MS program for the following reasons. First, my program is targeted for fully employed students and because of very few course offerings per semester, I am looking at almost three more years. Second, I would like to be competitive as much as possible when applying to PhD programs so I would like to receive my MS at a more research-oriented university. My question is, if I transfer to another MS program, let’s say at a UC, will this be considered negative since I appear to be not committed? I believe I have good enough grades to get accepted. One of the reasons I chose CSU was because I did not have any engineering background but they were willing to work with me to fulfill all the remedial coursework. I feel bad that I am looking elsewhere now that I am all caught up. Any comments will be appreciated.

I am currently a grad student at ND finishing up my Master's. I was recruited to the school and given a scholarship. However, I completed my undergrad degree at a less prestigous state school. I feel the students and professors are incredibly arrogant. The students are also very lazy and have a tremendous sense of entitlement. Students drive Escalades. Additionally, the quality of my fellow students and professors is below what I experienced at the state school I received my B.S. from.

I took a class last year called Film Editing which was supposed to teach us how to use editing software like Final Cut Pro and teach us the basics to editing video. Instead, with my luck, I had a crazy teacher who thought we should spend the entire class socializing and talking about what are favorite movies were. By the 8th week we still didn't learn a thing or even use editing software even once so I decided to drop the class and focus on the other 4 classes I was taking that term. Back then I wasn't even thinking of graduate school so I didn't think twice about dropping and getting a "W," but now I'm worried that it's gonna look bad on my transcript for Grad School.
Do I need to write why I dropped it in my personal statement and if so, how can I be polite about saying it was the teacher's fault. And do you think this will be a huge problem, especially since it was an elective course within my major (i ended up taking a film theory class instead).

I am currently a junior in high school, and I have a dilemma about what sport to take. Right now I am wondering what would help most in terms of getting into a UC college like berkeley,UCLA, or UCSD etc. I can take track right now and be in varsity, swim and be jv, or tennis and be jv. I am wondering if sports are really that importanta towards colleges because I would prefer using this year to workout and do some other special training that I have planned. So my question is first of all, do sports really contribute much for acceptance to a UC (I have two years of cross country), and if they do should I go for Track (varsity), Tennis(JV), or Swim(JV). Truthfully i am not looking forward to joining any of the teams, and i am not an extremely good runner in any case, meaning i would not be noticed by any college scouts or probably even make any teams in college. My three mile time is around 17:05, and my mile is 5:14. Do you think colleges will care? Thank You guys!

I've been accepted to all three, but only received merit based aid from George Washington. I'm not quite sure what area of law I will be going into or where I'll want to practice. Right now, I am thinking of working at a big law firm in either New York or D.C. I would also like to keep my options open for going into academia in the future.

I have been thinking about different colleges, but I don't want to go to a school that is good, but only costs 20,000 a semester, instead of a great school that costs 36,000.

If its not, what could i do? Could i do postgrad work to up my gpa(is that even possible), earn another bachelor’s, become at student at large? What could i do?

So, as my luck turned out, i received what i thought was my ticket into a cal state. i did everything from turning in my SAT scores to my transcripts. then i received a decision saying, "congratulations on your admission and you are enrolled for the 2007-2008 year."
Then i called them to ask them a question and they asked me if i had received my admittance letter. I said yes and they then apologized and said it was a mistake. My luck. I laughed when i heard him say it, because that was it, just my luck.

is this sort of thing common? sending out mistaken acceptance letters?

thanks for any answers.
