Higher Education (University +) - June 2007

I got accepted into the University of West Georgia ( a smaller, lesser known, yet good college) and into Georgia State University (a much larger research university) and I am going to go to one of the two, but if i go to either one i am still going to try to transfer into a school like UNC Chapel Hill or UGA after 2 years. UWG is in my hometown, so it is only like 10 minutes away whereas Georgia State is 45 minutes away because it is in Atlanta, either way I will drive to school. I was wondering if I go to Georgia State versus to UWG if it will be easier to transfer to a more prestigous school because it is a research university and much more known in the college community... or does it not really matter what college you went to for your first 2 years?

I was placed on the waiting list by UPENN. Is anyone on the same boat with me? Does anyone know, whether they will admit anybody from the WL? Is anyone already admitted? Thanks!

I have a slightly above average interest in biology and science.

My greatest natural interest lies with Politics and History, but I do not want to major in those fields because the job outlook would be pathetic. Plus I don't really want to be a politician or history teacher.

I'm leaning towards Biology, because I want to work in the health fields and I know there will always be jobs.

However, since Biology isn't my first "love," is it still safe for me to major in this field or is this major so tough that only people who are 100% biology fanatics make it?

(I go to a tough school)

I am 20 years old. I am a soph in a pretigious, ivy league college. I am majoring in bussiness and am at the top of my class. I am supposed to go to law school after everything, because in my family I am aloud to be a doctor or a lawyer.

I have been an aspiring musician my entire life and could sing better before i could talk. I had the luxury of being in some shows here and there and took vocal lessons till i was a senior in high school and at the time i was auditioning for college conservatories. I sadly was informed that i was suffering for a 50% hearing loss and no conservatory would le tme in as a performance major.

All i have ever wanted to do is perform. All i ever envisioned myself was on stage.
Reality is hitting me because i have to start looking for a future occupation. I am broken. I havent trained in 2 years and i my voice has lost its strength and whenever i try to get into dance classes they are filled with girls who have been dancing for yrs. and they put me down

I want to become a surgeon very badly. I have no money and my scholarship only pays for a little of my education. Is it wronge to sell drugs to strictly finance my undergraduate & graduate career? Are there any other alternatives to pay for college besides joining the military and being in thousands of dollars in debt?

They basically keep an eye on you while you're at school and help you not only through your subject matter, but also in life.

It's the PhD in Sociology. The FAQ page is here if you have time to read it: http://www.wjh.harvard.edu/soc/pages/faqs.html

Here's a little about me:
After I got my BA, I worked for a year in sales management, but I have been presenting at academic conferences that relate to my academic interests. Although I do not have a Sociology BA, I do have a BA in the humanities with a GPA of 3.67, and my research interests are directly related to sociology. I have excellent GRE scores, and undergraduate professors who can write excellent supportive recommendation letters. The reasons I'm thinking of not applying are as follows:
-It's HARVARD and it's very competitive
-I do not have an MA, even though this program does not require applicants to have one.
-My BA is not from a great college and it is not in Sociology.

Please be honest and share your thoughts & comments.

I love children and would love to work with them so I have decided to become a Pediatrician or Pediatric Nurse. But I don't think I can survive medical school. I don't even know if I can make it in college. I have few minor set backs, I can't spell, pronounce or do math in my head very well. I was born and raised in Nigeria and when I came to the U.S I was barely able to spell my middle name ( Rosemary).
I tried really hard to improve in everything including learning English in less than 1yr. I made honor rolls all throughout middle school, and recently graduated from High school at the top 10 percent of my school and winning a presidential award signed by President Bush! But now college is on its way and am doubting whether I can make it. How can I go to college and get a good job if I have troubles spelling, pronouncing, and doing easy math in my head?

I've received a couple of emails / phone calls this year and I don't understand why they think having mommy or daddy call will get the professor to change a grade. Don't they realize that it hurts the students' credibility and decreases the likelihood of any change? Of course if the reason for bad grades is something truly significant, that's one thing, but even then if the student is an adult shouldn't he/she be responsible for his/her education without parental interference?

What does it take to get into an ivy league college? The valedictorian at my school as well as a kid with a class rank of 12 got into one.... USA Today featured an article with the American all Academic Team, and those kids accomplished things that most people wouldn't do in their lives. Needless to say mostly all of them got into Ivy League Schools..

So, what sort of SAT scores, GPA, extracurriculars, etc.. does one need to get in?!? THANKS!!
