Higher Education (University +) - July 2007

my situation's a bit different. i'm 15 years old and i've graduated highschool with honors, and i've taken some courses at the community college by my house at the age of 14. i made mostly a's in highschool and all a's in my college courses. but i now want to move on to a nice university (hopefully on a full scholarship =] ). i live in the dfw area, texas and would prefer a college closer to home, but going out of state is fine with me. i'd love to go to stanford but i don't know how high their standards are. i also am stuck between what to DO. i'd like to become a pediatrician, or a teen magazine editor, but mostly i'm intrested in buying and selling stocks. i just want to make as much money possible, doing the least amount of work. any help?

What do you call a person that works... let's say at Kaiser and checks children? Physican right? So what is the best medical school to attend and the best college or university for a future in being a physican? Is UCLA or Yale a good school? Or is there some other college/univeristy that's even better? Please help me out!

I'm so confused. I got accepted to law school last year and decided to take a year off to think about it. I got reaccepted this year and am supposed to start in a month, I just started reading a book "Law School Confidential" and most of the lawyers in the book say that they don't really like what they do, and they are completely in debt from their loans so they realistically will probably never be able to do anything else. They are also describing the atmosphere of law school as entirely competitive and non-idealistic. I am a free spirited person and the whole reason I want to go to law school was to make a change. But I also want to have a family. Is law school for me? And would you do it again?

I applied to my local public university as a special summer student to take a French class. I got back from two weeks of vacation and the class started that Monday. I realized after going to their website that they never got a transcript. Per an admissions counselor, I went to the class anyway and told the proffessor that I was not yet registered and he said I could sit in until I was. The problem is, after I got my transcript sent, I was rejected for the special summer program (you have to be in the top 10% of your class, which i am not). I was never intending to take the class for credit (just as an audit), and its a class of only about 20 students. Should I keep my mouth shut and hope that he doesnt notice I never register, or should I come clean and hope he'll let me keep sitting in without being enrolled?

I'm going to UCLA in a couple months, and I put Economics down as my major for now, but that may change in the future. The 2 areas I was kind of deciding between was biology and business. I like biology-related things, but my dad is a bioengineer and he said it's hard to find a stable job in that field. (I think I'd like to have job security) I also think I'd enjoy studying business, but the thing is I'm sort of quiet. I've always imagined business people to be confident and aggressive. There seems to be a lot of stable jobs in business/economics though like accounting and such. What should I do?

I have a BS in laboratory science. A couple years ago I was "forced" to withdraw from another schools nursing program (the 2nd instructor who was new to teaching claimed I wasn't good enough writing anecdotes about my feelings and among other things even more stupid).

Anyway, this put a serious dent in my personal and academic life. Now that I have a degree, with a great job, I would like to go back to that school and get that nursing degree. What do you all think?

Do all of you think this person will try to screw me over again or should I get it at another school? Then I'll find some way to show this person that she didn't ruin me and that I am now living just fine. Thats the best revenge, isn't it?

As a parent, I do not understand the system here. My son wants to study Pharmacy, should he go for 2 years at Loyola and transfer to Pharmacy college such as Midwest College of Pharmacy or should he take classes at College of Dupage.

Difference is 37K to 39K for studies per year at Loyola and $5K for studies at a community college.

It does not look cool to study at community college but why would you pay 35K more per year in studies and not go to the local community college ?
Do Loyola offer guarantee for admission to Pharmacy ?

Please explain.

She told me that she has a BA in Spanish with no minor, & she graduated with a low GPA-2.3. Do you think she should go for a 2nd bachelor's in another major & start the curriculum all over again, try to get into graduate school, or try to look for a job? She also has a disability.

She asked me this & I don't know how to help her. She also has outstanding student loans & low income, & if she discontinues school, they'll make her pay her loans back immediately since she started back, taking extra undergrad courses to strengthen her GPA. There are no Spanish jobs available in her town, & she would have to have teacher certification in order to become a teacher. & she's not skilled enough in Spanish to become a translator/interpreter since the school she went to mainly taught medieval Spanish literature in the English language, which was no help at all. I'm a native speaker of Spanish myself. How else can I help her strengthen her skills in Spanish besides conversation?

Well, I'm in college and so far I've freaking failed 1 course and gotten a barely passing (i.e. D or D+) in 3 classes, and I don't know what is wrong with me. I feel like such a failure at this point I don't even want to go on. I honestly attend class regularly, I missed maybe 5 the whole semester. I take notes, I do some of the reading, and yet I fail. My biggest problem I think is when I do reading/review notes I get SO bored I just start falling asleep. It's like taking a sleeping pill. I will read a section 3 times and not be able to comprehend anything it said. Not an exaggeration. I don't know what to do to get my brain to remember the material! It's like it's scrambled in my brain. Suggestions at all would be GREATLY appreciated, as I don't even know if college is worth it if I'm just going to keep failing like an idiot.

Oh, also I don't party or anything like that I swear on my life that I try to study it just doesn't seem to sink in. And I don't do drugs or drink.

...go back to school ? I am considering going back school (University) to pursue a teaching licensure in Elementary Education. I'm not really intimdated by going back itself, but rather the fact that I'll be 42 upon completion of Bachelors/Licensure, and that my age will be a mark against me in the initial hiring process..??.. Is this a good investment of considerable time and money ?

Ok, Im a chemical engineering major that will be transferring from a C.C. to either one of these two universities. I have always wanted to attend UCLA but its too heavily populated. I also always wanted to see other parts of the U.S. and USF would allow me to do that.

If you were in my situation, which one would you choose and why?

Ok, I found out that USF has a 5 year program for chemical engineering undergrads, this means that after senior year, I take graduate level courses for a year which the advantage is that the courses are double counted and after Im done with that, I have a Masters, UCLA has no program like that.

Obvious USF has the better program, but UCLA is an excellent school also.

If in my situation, would you go to USF?

I am finishing my undergrad in special education with one year left. I will graduate in 2008. Now I have had a change of heart with what I want to do for the future. I still want to teach, however I am thinking about going straight into law school after I graduate. Now things that I have to think about are the fact that I am a single mother of a six year old, I have very little money to live off of. These are only some things that come up, for anyone who can understand, to you think that it would be feasible for me to try to get into law school right after I gruaduate, would I still be able to be a sufficient mother? Will I be able to pick up a job on the side while I am in school. Are their loans available for me to take out to pay for going to law school. What tests would I have to take before getting in. My GPA is 3.26 now, is that too low? How long are typical programs in years? I just have a lot of questions-=--any ideas or suggestions?
