I want to double major in International business and Japanese and minor in Pycology.

So my question is: if double major can you still declare a minor? and is it worth it?

Im taking all of my general education requirements at community college while im in high school so its ok if the extra classes set me back a year or 2

What are your views on affirmative action, especially in the college admissions process?

Can a person who has good grades, actively participates in clubs, summer programs, various academic (such as science, math, etc) competitions, and community service, but is not in sports, have an equal chance of getting addmission into a school like stanford, compared to a person who has all of the above and was in sports?

What are some alternatives to doing sports that can put you at the same level as to someone who was in sports with all the other things (clubs, good grades, etc)?

(sry....Kind of long)

I wanted to know if it makes a difference to employers which college I graduate from? I have attended a pretty well know college in Texas for the past few years, but I want to transfer to another college closer to home for my senior year. This college I want to transfer to is a great college, good programs, and is close to my family. But I dont necessarily think its as "recognizable" to future employers as the first college I attended was. I dont want to have less of a chance at a good job by not graduating from a more well know school. I just dont want to be making a mistake by graduating from the wrong college. Or does it even make a difference as long as I have a degree?

Any thoughts, suggestions, or advice would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

I am a 27 year old graduate and once again have to put up with seeing all the A Level results hype. But is university what it used to be, I have a media degree and will be the first to admit that it is useless. i Have met so many people going to university to study philosophy or English - and they have no idea what they want to do with their future. Are schools convincing students that going to university is the only way to success. In my experience the less academic kids who left school at 16 earn a s**t load more money than most graduates. But im thinking that no 18 year olds seem to know what awaits them on their uni graduation.

My first year in college I made terrible grades. Now that I'm trying to get into graduate school, these grades are haunting me. Even though since then I've held at least a 3.5 gpa, with these transcripts factored in, I'm barely pulling a 2.0! I followed the rules and had them transferred to my current school for graduation and now I'm sorry I did!

I want to study anything to do with English, I don't want a school that has a main focus on math. I'd like to be a journalist. And it has to have a fairly good price range and has to be in the US.

I just got accepted to my college of choice but I really wanted to go to the upper division. I only showed them my 2nd transcript which is from my community college where I did well but not that great and it was more than enough to enroll me in. However, I didnt show them my 1st transcript because it took awhile for it to arrive through the mail since it was from the other state. Thats where I previously attended my 1st college there. THen again, I didnt want to show them the transcript since I did so poorly there and as a result my GPA dropped under 2.0. for three quarters straigh. Now the question is, once they have found out about the 1st transcript, how do you think my current college of choice will react to it? Here is more instances of what Im trying to explain...Will they still permit the trasnferring of my earned credits from the 1st college despite the bad grades? Or not show them the first transcript altogether? I want want that earned credits transferred!

I know that 9 hours for getting a master's is considered full time (as opposed to 12 hours for undergrad) but I also know that taking 15 hours of undergrad is common. My advisers always told me to expect 3 hours of study per week for every hour of class taken; so if you were registered for 12 hours, expect to have 48 hours of your life a week taken up by school (12 hours of class +(12*3 hours of study)).

What would be the rule with grad school? If I were to take 6 hours of grad school a semester (master's, not PhD) how much time would that normally take? 9 hours? Etc.

Thanks!

I'm extremely good at Economics, I just got my AP scores back and got a 5 in both Macro and Micro. I've actually have came up with formulas before I was taught them, however, my teacher told me that my formulas were just "overly complicated" formulas of the ones that already existed. Economics and business just makes perfect sense to me, even when I'm taught at an unuasually fast pace. Nonetheless, I think I can make a bigger difference doing something in the medical field, & although I'm not extremely talented in the science fields: AP score of 3 on chemistry and 4 on Biology, I still feel that I can succeed & that I will enjoy the work. All this asside, I still can't help but feel that economics is playing a factor in my decision: America's largest industry is the health care industry, so job stability and above average salaries are pretty secure. However, with a degree in Econ, I don't know what or for who I can work for that can secure me a job of similar perks of the medical field

I am a Computer Science student and going to finish my course in May 2008. The fact is I want to go for a MBA Degree instead of a job right after.

I am from India, and very much admant about going abroad for higher education. It's just a dream of mine. Well the problem is I will be a complete fresher with no work experiance, with only 15 years of education. Now if I want to apply for UK or US universities they would demand for a work experiance of at least 2 years to do a MBA. US universities demands for 16 years of formal education.

Someone told me that there are some Universities in US which do accept freshers into MBA but I have no idea which ones. Can anyone help me out with something. I am in a great crisis of proper information. I have heard about TOEFL, IELTS, GRE and GMAT etc, but can't make a path out of it. My first choice is US.

I am confused and unable to figure out anything proper. Please do help me. I would be glad to have your suggestions.

Thank You.
