Higher Education (University +) - October 2007

On my college application it asks "If you plan to pursue a preprofessional program, please specify which one." I'm not 100% sure but I think I might want to do pre-law.

Is this binding? If i'm admitted and attend this university, do I have to pursue a pre-law program because I said so in my application?

There is this internship position available in calgary and i live in toronto. I'm in my third year of university.They want a resume, cover letter and transcript, and because of my heart surgery I wasnt able to work as hard as I could, so I have a bunch of B+ s on my record. Should I mention that this was the case? on one hand i'm explaining my not so high marks but on the other hand I'm worried they'll think I'm not healthy and I might get sick in case they hire me.

The prompt: Describe a significant setback, challenge or opportunity in your life and the impact that it has had on you.

I am considering writing about my experience in Little League Baseball and how I grew from that experience.
But I am not interested in playing baseball in college. I will be applying to possibliy Civil Enginnering or Public Administration.
Should my essay relate more to my applying major? Or is it more important to show admissions that I have grown through my experiences( in Little League)?

i know that the college i choose need to be regionally accredited, reputable and transferrable...i got that part. But my question is... ppl are saying that the online degrees are not respected by employers like a "community college " degree, that is later transferred over to a 4 year university that is in your local area. But the school i am considering has an option to be on campus or online. My question is if online degrees are less considered v.s me sitting in class, how would the degree be any differ if i lived in Iowa (where the school is) and decided to do it all online v.s going to class physically? What if the degree earned do not state on it "online" ? What if someone from another state decided to take an online course at a reputable , accredited college here in my hometown? If the degree is accepted for us by most employers, wouldn't it be accepted for them even though they did it online? What if our local colleges are not one you wanna put on your resume? Help please!!!

I'm a senior in high school and want to get into pharmacy school or do pre-pharmacy and then transfer to a pharmacy school but here's my question:
1. Some schools offer pharmacy as a program but not a major, does that mean that I still have to take up a major? If so, what major should I take if I want to be a pharmacist?
2. Anyone know of any good pharmacy school or schools that have pre-pharm in New York, New Jersey, around that area?

i'm currently in my second year of univeristy, and i really do think it's btter to write your own notes so when you're studying you don't have to read all the unnecessay things aas well. but being in second year, there is ALOT more to study and so its extremely time consuming to write down notes, and then study them so by the time you'e done writing, you're way too tired to start studying it all, but it's quicker reading it all. so now i'm unsure of what to do. stop wriitng notes and just study the book, or continue writing notes even though it would take much much longer to get the studying done.
please help!

I'm getting my BS-Nursing... and I was thinking about pursing a MBA. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is a good idea? What are some career opportunities with these two degrees?

Also, if after I finish my BSN, and then get my MBA... would that allow me to work in a non-hospital setting as well? Somewhere just pursing business?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks :)

Hi guys-

I need some advice on which college to attend after High school. My top 3 are Azusa Pacific, Cal Poly, and UC Santa Cruz, (in no particular order). I'm still undecided on my major, but I'm gonna go with Criminal Justice, Biology, Art/Photography/Graphic Design, or Liberal Arts (history teacher). I have yet to visit any of these campuses and would love to know which would you prefer and why. Azusa is probably my first choice because I would be going with my best friend, how much does this matter? -Thanks!
