Higher Education (University +) - May 2007

I'm currently attending a pretty high-ranking 4-year liberal arts college, and I have a GPA of about 3.95 (4.0 in English). I'm pretty sure I can hold (or possibly improve) this average through graduation, and I also think I'm on track to get into Phi Beta Kappa.

I know a lot of the Ivy League colleges have a SUPER-strict admissions policy... Cornell, for example, only lets 15 new students per year into their English grad program. As far as diversity goes, the fact that I'm a white male certainly won't help my case much, but my being poor and being from the Southwest (only 3% of Cornell's students are) might somewhat.

What think'st thou, folks? Am I dead in the water, or do I have a fighting chance?

I'm starting at community college for a year or two, to knock out all the required courses before transferring to a college specializing in Hospitality. I'd like to be a manager of a hotel, resort, cruise ship, something of the like. A lot of the schools have the two aformentioned majors. What is the difference between the two? If I were to guess, it sounds like Hotel Management may be more specialized in just that, where as Hospitality Management might be more broad? But, I could be wrong. Which one would be the better choice for a good career? Anybody have any insight on this? Websites with info on the career would be appreciated also =)

There is a young woman about 28 who work as a receptionist in our office (min wage job), who went to Cleveland State University for free. Our government paid for her room and board and 4 years of college. How is that possible? She did not get a scholarship, she is not diabled or anyhting. The worse part about this is she is not working in her field of study. She is a reseptionist.
She is from Israel.
I don't know how I am going to pay for my daughters college.

Ok, I'm from the Bahamas but I live in Florida. My mom is super strict and my dad wouldn't mind me going there it's just my mother. She has a problem accepting that its an historically black university. She says, "Nobody in this family went to a black college and you won't either." I dont know how to change her mind. I really feel it would be the best university for me. I have a 4.267 GPA so she wants me to go to an ivy league school like Harvard or Princeton or Yale but I would be miserable there. I don't fit into places like that, trust me I know. I go to a really advanced school now and I hate it. I can't wait til I graduate..but I have like no say here. Its almost as if shes living her life through me. I guess if I had no other choice I would try to go to Cornell but Howard seems best for me. How do you think I can go about convincing my mom to let me apply at least to Howard University when the time comes? Oh yeah, I have tried talking to her about it before she just blows me off.

First of all, right now Im at a community college. I want to become a pharmacist so to get into pharmacy school you just have to complete the required courses (which take about 2 years).

So my question is, is it a good idea to major in something like business and then when I get to my 4 year start doing the requirements to enter Pharmacy school?
