I have quite an unusual situation. I dropped out of high school in my senior year, and I went directly to community college in the Fall. After two years, I applied and was admitted to the University of Washington. I'm just finishing my junior year right now. The problem is this: I don't have a high school diploma, nor do I have a GED. Should I take the GED test or not? I'm going to graduate from college in a year (possibly two). The very fact that I go to a university implies that I am capable of doing work well above high school level. But yet I'm concerned that employers might question why I dropped out, and perhaps think that I'm a quitter. On the other hand, employers might be impressed that I took the initiative to work hard, change my ways, etc., following through on my goal to go to college when others thought it was unrealistic. I'm 21 now, almost through college; what should I do? By the way -- I'm a Psych. and English major.

I'm 13, so I've got plenty of time, but I've started to think about my future. I am thinking about Berkely (sp?). You can look through my poems, including "Lacking Love", "Life's Like That" and one that I haven't titled yet but shall be called "Soldier". These are all viewable in my profile questions, so go ahead and look. Please let me know! Especially if you ATTEND Berkely. Thanks!

Hi,
I just want to ask which degree has more demand rite now ...just from these 2.... in CANADA (ontario).

Bsc in Math with minor in Econ or doing B.Eng in Chemical Engineering ?

I know Chemical Eng would be much better since its a professional degree.

On the other hand many people go for Engineering but I dont see enough people graduating with Math degree ...does that make Math degree more demanding?

Has anyone ever heard of incompletes being given at the graduate level? My institution does it, and I really don't understand why. I thought at most graduate schools, if you got a grade below a B-, you had to retake the course.
I work in my academic dept, and I can't believe how many forms go through for this...some students would have a D for many courses if it weren't for this option.
Obviously, I am very annoyed since I am an A student.

I am a busy, working adult and would like to further my education. I have been contemplating enrolling in an online university, but I am worried that any degree I might earn won't be valuable when I look for a new job.

I am currently getting may MBA in marketing from Strayer. They offer traditional classes, but I prefer to take classes online because it's convenient. Strayer is mostly known as an online, distance education school. Will my MBA carry the same weight in the job market as someone who earned theirs the "old fashioned" way?

I have just graduated from college, and I am try ing to throw away some stuffs, so that I can go back to my country. But, I cannot decide weather I should throw away note from classes or keep them. I may not look at them so many times, but I paid about $30 per hour for tuition, and these are evidence and good memory of my college like. However, the problem is there are so bunch of notes.... It is going to be several hundred $$ for shipping, and there are no space to keep them in my apartment back home. What should I do? (Whichever your opinion is...) Can anybody give me good reasons which I won't regret?

The chapter of a sorority that I'm interested in is active on campus but currently has no undergraduate members. I am interested in pursuing membership with this sorority but I'm not sure if I should email the graduate advisor or just wait until information is posted.

I am planning to take pre-medicine in my college years, but the university I am going to attend does have courses to prepare students who want to persue pre-medicine studies. The problem is; it says it does not have particular "pre-medicine" course, but a student must first declare his/er major. So I was thinking of either a biology maj., or chemistry maj. - which should I take? I do not really know what to do. Please someone out there, help me, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Please e-mail me if necessary. I am now a senior and graduating this June. I have taken Chemistry Honors and nearly failed the class. I am now in the school's nursing assistant program and been exposed to the medical field hoping it will do me well in the future for medical school. I have a G.P.A of 90. I do not know if this is good enough. The math I have taken are Pre-Algebra, Algebra I & II, lastly, Geometry. Is being a doctor right for me with these circumstances?
