My short term Professional goal is to try to find a summer job that is office based, and not too physically demanding. I go on the internet, newspaper, etc. to find possible job placements, to update my cover letter, and resume. If got accepted for going to an interview, arrange time and date to go. If you got accepted to the job(s), take the one that is the best suited for me. I have already applied to several places but I have to continue to apply. I had one interview and worked hard to prepare for it. I’ll continue to apply for jobs and would hope I could work in an office for the summer. I don’t get that type of job I will take whatever I can get.

i'm a college freshman and thinking about becoming an M.D. or a nurse anesthetist..here's the dilemma, i don't quite know which to pick. I am doing alright in my classes (general chem and general bio) but I have a b/c in both right now (b in both last semster). I know those aren't competitive grades for med school and that's why i'm lost in my "path". All the premeds i talk to just LOVE chemistry and some are even tutors, and i'm struggling to just get through it all. But i definetely know I want to work in the healthcare field. My parents insist on me trying to get a B.S. degree in nutrition (with a pre-med track) and get into med school. But what worries me is if I don't get in, i'll be stuck with a degree in something that's not that healthcare oriented. They also tell me about how much $ M.D.'s make versus nurse anesthetists, but M.D.'s don't make THAT much since they have many loans to pay back. Plus Nurse Anest. make very good money, too. Any suggestions? (I have a 3.5 gpa)

Thanks!

I have reviewed your thesis and am returning it for revision. I have left notes within the first portion of the text and enclosed some information that will help you while revising. You will see that I did not notate every page as I saw the same consistent issues. You will need to take my notes and the information enclosed to address the issues for the thesis in its entirety.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need help with the revisions.

I've finally figured out what career path I want to take and now I'm looking at colleges. This may sound really stupid, but are there colleges (besides community types) that allow you to take whatever classes you want and your major without adhering to a required class list?

I ask this because I have a horrible time with math and if I have to take any mandatory classes that involve it (Calculus Trig, etc), I'm in trouble, particularly if the work loads are tremendous. (Effort grades have saved me in high school)

I just want to take classes in English, communications, journalism, as that's what I'll need if I want to pursue a writing career and improve my ability.

Again, sorry if this sounds naive, but my counselor wasn't exactly the best (we lost our original and didn't have a real one) and I just have been trying to figure out what I want to do before thinking of college. Thanks much to all who help, as I'm terrified that my future may be messed up because I suck at mathematics.

I want to attend graduate school and am not sure if minoring in a relevant subject will count for anything - I've heard that they don't show up on your transcripts or diploma at all.

I am almost finished with my Bachelors degree in History. I would like to continue on and get my masters in History. I am interested in American Public University's (APU) History program. But can I get a legitimate masters degree from a fully online institution, that when Im finished I would be able to get a job teaching at a community college? APU is fully accredited but Im leary because the only information about them I can find is on their website. It seems like nobody has heard of them. Any help would be appreciated!

I am a High School Sophomore in a North Carolina (so I am in state). My current GPA is a 4.25, but I have done the calculations and with all my classes next year I will have around a 4.6 (I regret slacking off a little this year and my freshman year, but have only recieved 4 B's and am taking all honors classes and 4 AP classes next year.) I am in the Key Club, Treasurer of SADD Club, Non-fiction editor of our school literary magazine, captain of my homeroom, and sophomore class representative for our school's business alliance. I am in a community service club outside of school and volunteer frequently at the local hospital. My mom, dad, and my sister went to UNC Chapel Hill and my mom gives a lot of money annually to the nursing program (if that counts any). I know that my essays will be above average; I have not yet taken my SATs but am hessitant to say I will score above average. I plan to apply early admission senior year. I know I'm obbsesed but can i get into UNC Chapel Hill?

I am currently a junior in high school. I rank 70 out of 565 people and take 3 AP classes and 2 Pre-AP. I have a 96 grade average. I am involved in National Honor Society, Student Council, Mu Alpha Theta, Young Democrats, and Mock Trial. I volunteer at a hosiptal, nursing home, homeless shelter, public library, and tutor 5th graders. Compared to other students in my class I'm not really smart. However, I have a bad situation at home. My mother is a single parent who came from Africa and speaks no English, so I have to rely on myself to do my homework. She works as a housekeeper and earns only $13,000 a year. I have lots of disadavantges financially and emotionally, I am physically abused. How do I should colleges like: Cornell, Columbia, Standford, University of Washington at St.Louis, UCLA, and Berkley that I would have better grades if it weren't for my living suitation and do you think I will be accepeted??

However, there were also weaknesses highlighted by both my peers and my tutor. The main area for improvement as indicated was the use of visual aids in the presentation. Comments pointed out that images shown on the OHP were not accurately focused and therefore made viewing for audience members difficult. This error was due to nervousness during the delivery of the presentation that disabled me to focus the OHP before showing it to the audience. It is important to rectify this mistake in future presentation as I consider the use of visual aids important in presentations. What I should have done was use the OHP during my practice sessions and put myself in the position of the audience, or asked the audience if they could see it properly.

Another important weakness identified by my tutor and my peers was the method I used to explain the different physical and psychological effects of domestic violence. Instead of naming all the effects first and explaining it one by one afterwards, I could have used the cover and reveal technique to allow the audience to focus on the effects one by one as I elaborate on them. Also, this would have allowed me to interact more fully with the OHP and would have helped the audience digest the information.

Furthermore, weaknesses identified by my peers included not speaking fluently during the presentation and not responding effectively to questions posed following the oral presentation. During feedback, they specified that there were some grammatical errors and pronunciation difficulties in the talk. They indicated that these were unimportant faults and could be the result of nervousness that did not affect the whole delivery of the presentation. They also mentioned that their questions were not answered successfully as it was possible to. This error could have improved by simply writing down the possible questions that could occur and thoroughly researching for the possible answer to the question. Also, however I tried to omit some grammatical errors during the planning and practice sessions; grammatical mistakes were made probably due to nervousness during the talk. This could only be enhanced by building self-confidence through practice, and by gaining further experience to reduce nervousness.

All in all, In spite of the weaknesses, I believe that the presentation successfully achieved all the set criteria for this assignment. If I had to carry out this task again, I would use the similar structure and visual aids. The only amendments I would make would be accurately focusing the OHP before hand, and learning to use the OHP by means of practicing. Also, I would use the cover and reveal technique introduced by my tutor to allow the audience to focus on the effects one by one as I elaborate on them, as well as to interact more fully with the OHP. Moreover, to conquer my fear and nervousness, I would practice more and gain more experience. To conclude, this presentation has given me a valuable experience which will be useful for university standard studies, and has built my self-confidence in speaking English in front of native speakers, which probably would have never happened.

For my post bac application I have to discuss why I am interested in working in underserved communities.
The only reason I can give is that I believe that everyone, regardless of income or status, deserves adequate healthcare. The only backing I have with this is when I did my volunteering at a hospital I really liked how the hospital treated patients first then worried about whether the patient could pay for it or not.
What questions should I be asking myself to help me write this part?

Another question asked is what I plan to contribute.
I plan to share my experiences from volunteering so help better the medical community. What questions should I be asking myself to answer thta question?

My daughter was to graduate college in May. She missed one of four exams in a class due to an interview arranged by prospective employer. Professor will not allow her to make-up exam and, therefore, she will have to retake that class only, in order to graduate. There is a scheduled date for makeups for athletes. She is an excellent student, 3.8 gpa. Just found out she will not graduate due to this Prof. not allowing her to take one exam. She has worked the last 4 years to get this degree, and a career in business/marketing. Why should athletes be allowed to makeup an exam and not a student trying to get a job. That is why we send our kids to school. The interview was arranged by prospective employer, out of state, and was the third and final interview with a great company? Please help - thank you. Signed, frustrated mom trying to pay for 2 in college.
