Here's the problem. In the UK a student will finish Secondary School (which I think is our equivalent to High School) with suitable examination grades that will enable them to attend a University as an undergraduate in order to obtain a degree (BA Hons or Bsc Hons), thereby becoming a Graduate; certain colleges can award degrees but only if they have university status or are affilliated to a university that awards degrees.

What is the process in America? I have found myself becoming confused with Students who 'graduate' from High School, but then you have 'Graduate Schools' , students who 'graduate from College' and of course Universities themselves.

My daughter wishes to obtain a degree in America but we are not sure what route it is we take, Help!

Reading about it, it seems that the only requirement to getting into the college is that you need to graduate High School

I was hoping to attend FS for game development but i'm starting to have 2nd thoughts?

1. What is the exact requirements for a game development course in FS

2. Will the classes be more advanced, focusing on math/physics (above High school teaching level)

3. Is it really worth it?

I am looking to find a great college or university. I define great as: 1. Learning environment encouraged, not "Im here to get a degree and I don't care" 2. Variety in subjects and majors, because I am not sure what I want to do for sure yet (more on this later) 3. Good reputation.
I would prefer it to be near a coast (either east or west)
Some possible majors I might be looking for would be: (if the college you list doesn't have all that's ok)
Biology, International Business, International Relations, Nursing, Zoology (I know these are all really different)
Whether you know about a college, or attend a college, any information would be great.

thank you! :D

Is it possible for me to transfer to Columbia University: School of General Studies? (Just know that General Studies accepts 47% of their applications). I'm a junior in High School who received an SAT score of 2150, and I volunteer at my community's hospital. But my MAJOR problem is that I have a low GPA because of lots of family issues that affected me( not going to say what). So my real question is if it's better to transfer from a 4-year to another 4-year (like Columbia, which I'm confident that I can wow them, but with my GPA not included), or should I go to community college to bring my GPA up there and then transfer (2-year to 4-year) after one year so they can look at my SAT score?

And another thing to consider, the website of the School of General Studies says that they don't have a GPA cut-off point.

I'm a junior in high school and have a 3.6+ GPA. I find it hard to study for the SAT because homework takes up most of my time and I'm committed to sports. I took the practice SAT and didn't study AT ALL and I got a 1400. I was shocked because I thought I did well.. but then again, I didn't study!

So my questions are:
How much time should I put into studying for the real SAT (considering that I don't have much time)? Or in other words, how much time (days, weeks) will the average person need to study all the material to get a good score? Is studying a week before the test a bad idea?

What else should I know about the SAT?


I'm planning on taking the test on JUNE 2.

I applied my first choice college PSU for 2007 Fall admission. But they gave me summer admission finally, which I don't want to get. So I decide to write an appeal letter to the admission office asking for fall admission.
The reason why I want them to reconsider me for fall admission because I have updated grades, since my high school made some errors in my transcript which may affect my admission. And I have significant improvement in my senior year. Also, I won a 2nd place award in my county after they made my admission decision. And I visited the school few weeks ago, joined their accepted students reception when their representitives came to my state as well. Because I am accepted to engineering school, so the school is more attactive to me.
I want to know how can I write this letter to state the above reasons offically and appropriately? Could anyone help me to write a paragraph or something like that?
Thanks for your nicely help!!!!

I've wanted to be a doctor for quite a while. My dad, who used to be in the navy said that if I become a doctor for the navy then the military will pay for my medical school. I just want to know what are the grades required to get a good medical job. I'm not quite sure what branch of medicine I want to learn. Also if there are any extra-curricular recomendations for medical school, that would be nice.

I do have a bachelors in biology and a masters in healthcare administration in which I studied hospital accounting. I have been working as an accountant for a medical group for ten years. I feel that I could pass the exam with a little studying, but do not want to go back to school just to get a bachelors degree in accounting, just to become a cpa. Does anyone know if you must have a bs in accounting or can you meet the requirements another way? Thank you

I got accepted into Accounting as my major at my college, but I want to get into the pharmacy program at the school. Wasn't accepted, but they suggest me to take the pre-pharmacy courses and than try to transfer in. So should I change my major from accounting to biology? Or what major would be considered for pre-pharmacy?
