Higher Education (University +) - October 2007

I heard that in the US, there are a lot more women in college than men. Is this really true? If so, what cause this to happen? Why are there less men in college now?

I hope I can get some intelligent response here instead of sexist crap in the other section.

Thank you for yout time.

I've been thinking about pursuing my MBA but am not exactly sure which road to pursue, the regular MBA or Executive MBA. I've heard positives and negatives about both programs but want to get different points of view. What is your opinion as far as quality, costs and time spent in school?

I have a question concerning colleges and how you get into their programs. For example, I want to go to UC San Diego to get into their pharmacy school but when I apply, do I apply for that school or UCSD in general and then progress after that? I'm confused. Also, does anyone know any good colleges for Pharmacy in California/USA and the tuition costs? Alot of questions yes. ^^

I'm a senior at Penn State University, majoring in Human Development and Family Studies. My focus has been on the childhood lifespan and have worked in several childcare agencies, summer camps, and a Head Start pre-school. I know that I'm interested in working with children, but part of me is curious about teaching.

I am debating whether to look into grad school to get a Master's degree in Elementary Ed. or to check our alternative routes in teacher certification. I KNOW that I'm interested in child/school social work, but part of me is very curious about teaching...and I know I must be certified in order to do so.

Do you know anything about either? What pathway do you reccommend?

Does anyone know if there is a "list" of the top scenic college campuses in the United States? I know Appalachian State University has been mentioned a lot as one of the nicest campuses. Does anyone have any opinions? Thanks

Recently I was just trolling the web when I came across an article about a senior in high school with a 3.8 GPA and 18 hours of college credit in Physics, Math, and Chemistry who got rejected from MIT for "Not Having Enough Activities." Apparently because the student did not participate in sports, band, or any school clubs he was not MIT Material. His excuse was that he worked those four years in high school because he needed income.

Do you think the lack of afterschool activities organized by the school is a reason to reject students from College? Myself I think its a rather shoddy reasion: as if band is so nessecary to organize your life in college! Its not as if Niels Bohr, Henry David Thoreau, or John Locke needed to play football to be intelligent enough to make some of the most important contributions to human knowledge ever.

Imagine what would the world be like if Steve Wozniak brought the Apple 1 out and consumers said "but did you play chess in your spare time?"

I am currently doing my UCAS application for a Social Work degree. I am finding it really hard to sell myself on the personal statement.
I can mention i have relevant experience and i am currently waiting for news on voluntary applications for work in the areas that interest me. I am also a student rep which will look good, but i am finding it really hard not to make myself sound boring and unacademic.
It just will not flow properly. Can anyone help me with this please?

What types of jobs and income are possible for a person with ONLY an Associate of Arts Degree?

I am four classes (20 credits) away from getting mine, but realistically I don't want to pursue a Bachelors Degree.

I dropped out a couple years ago because of a schedule conflict and haven't gone back because I didn't have any set goals in mind.

Am I the only person that does this??? I do not want a degree that will get me a job I will not like, but maybe I should just settle? I must be on the 20yr plan....

Hi everyone,
I'm 16 years old(grade 11). I've been in a private school my whole life, including going to boarding school for the last 2 years. I'm currently doing correspondence courses at home for a semester instead of being taught in a classroom. My grades have always been average, but for my grade 11 year I'm really trying to bring all of my marks up to a higher level. I participate in doing alot of community service work like the animal shelter and hospital.
I'm really wanting to go to Harvard Law School and I'm just wondering at this point is there anything in particular I should be doing or not doing..
I'm also hoping to apply for the scholarship that is rewarded to 3 Canadian students each year.
I'm really worried that if I don't start working on it now, I won't have enough accomplished to get in.
Please help!
=)

I was just wondering if anyone had received a degree from the University of Phoenix Online and if it is a real degree or just a certificate? Do employers take this degree seriously? Thanks for any stories or other suggestions!!

When I'm reading questions about colleges, and the requirements for them, I can't help but feel extremely nervous and screwed. All my life, I've done my best on everything in school, and in turn, it has landed me in honors and AP classes. Even with that, I'm doing pretty good with that too. I think my GPA at the end of my sophomore year was 3.7 or something. (although I'm not sure if it was unweighted or not).

But in the meantime, I haven't done much for the school, either because I have no school spirit, or I'm not interested in like selling cookies on the weekend or whatever.

I don't even know what I want to do in my life, and I have to apply for colleges soon. I have no idea how so many people know exactly what they want to do and what college they're aiming for.

It just makes me depressed and feel hopeless that I may not get into any Ivy League schools.

What can I do as a junior to better my chances?
