Higher Education (University +) - August 2007

I ordered a regular catalog from UCSB and I remember the website asking what race I was, I just put Black because I wasn't really thinking much of it (I'm actually half Native American and a quarter Black). Anywho, I get the catalog today but it's not a NORMAL book. They gave me a SPECIAL book called the Blackbook. It has Black people all over it and it talks about complete BS. I wanted a REGULAR book. I have never been so INSULTED in my life. Why can't I get a NORMAL book? Why do I have to get a SEPARATE book because I am African-American? This enrages me. If I wanted a special book for Black people, I would have ordered it. I wanted a REGULAR college catalog. But all because I'm Black, they send me crap. I'm so angry.

I am not 100% sure on this.

Could I do an undergraduate bachelors degree in Law, and then go onto doing a post-graduate MBA?

I live in the UK, so I think it may differ from the US - but I'd love to somehow combine both.

The best thing for me would be to do obtain a degree in law - take the bar exam and become a qualified solicitor and then go on to do an MBA as my career aims are sort of HR/operations management (which involves legal issues).

In my undergraduate career, I didn't realize I got my BA degree in the College of Liberal Arts with a concentration of Spanish LITERATURE. I think that's the reason why my GPA was low. I kept wondering why they made us take all these History & Literature courses. I wanted to major in Spanish but have a concentration in Spanish GRAMMAR & WRITING so I can get a Master's in Translating & Interpreting. No WONDER why my GPA was so low! I got a 2.8 in my major & a 2.3 overall. If I would've known then what I know now, my GPA would've been higher. Thanks to my ignorance, I can't even get a good job. I was told that a BA in Spanish Literature won't get me anywhere but teaching, ONLY if my GPA was higher. I feel like a dummy now. What are your recommendations?

Should I wait until fall 2008 and apply for admissin for fall 2009 for Berkeley? or apply to other schools like Boston U, UIUC, UMich, Rutgers (new brunswick) OSU, Pitt, SUNY Buffalo (and go in as a fall 2008 student) and forget about going to Berkeley?

This will be my 3rd year attending community college (although i'm still considered a sophmore since you cant get a 4 year degree at the community college) and I would prefer to stay in the SF Bay area, but if I go to berkeley, i would be 2 years behind people that graduated from HS the same year I did (which is 2005) If i apply for other schools, i would only be 1 year behind.


what should i do? what would you do?

I have been thinking for the past month that I want to go to college. I graduated in 2005 and started working. I have talked to many of my co-workers and they say that I ought to. Tonight I ran into a Police officer who is a friend of mine and we talked about college he said that I ought to go back that if he could re-do his life again he would have gone to college instead of doing it now (he's 39). I just need some advice because if I go I will either have to quit my job or do school part-time and work full-time. Just need some advice! Thanks!!!

aerobic excercize, a person cannot declare themselves "fit"! It's a process with constant effort, only when that effort is applied on a regular basis, fitness will be a part of that person. Communication is not just one class, one weekend seminar, or even one degree, it's a process that with continuous effort will it be effective.

Does anyone have other thoughts?

I've been with my b/f for a year and a half, and we're both in love with each other, and we both are juniors in college together. We do everything together, eat, walk around campus, etc. If we're not in class or studying, we're together. We both have acquaintances other then each other, but no close friends. We both "went in blind" for the roomate situation because we didn't know anyone else to live with. We also are both studying aboad together. We're both involved in different clubs, and work at different places, but he is my best friend, so I haven't made alot of other friends besides him at college. Sometimes I see all of these people with a "group" of friends, and I wonder if there's something wrong with me for not having that, like I did in high school. My boyfriend is my best friend so I don't really feel like I have to have that. I don't really know how to make "best friends" with girls at this point, it just seems like people come and go as acquaintances. Any suggestions?

I have an unweighted 3.73 GPA out of 4, and a weighted 3.82. I've only taken a couple honors classes throughout high school (Chemistry and Math 9) and no APs, but I'm going to be taking two APs my senior year (Economics and Psychology). I've taken the ACTs once so far and scored a 29 Composite with a 9 out of 12 on the writing, and I hope to bring that up to at least a 30 on my second go-around. I'm a pretty rounded student as I have been on missions trips to 3 different countries over the past 4 years, helping to build homes for poverty stricken people and help AIDS patients etc... I am very involved in my school's music program (4 years of marching band, drumline, pep band, jazz band, percussion ensemble etc...) and have had many acheivments in the area of music. I'm not sure about class ranking, since my high school doesn't rank. So would Wake Forest be considered more of a reach or a target?
