Higher Education (University +) - October 2007

I enjoy analysis. Also, whenever I listen to music, my imagination makes me see a scene that's relevant to the overall tone of the song. Frankly, these are very elaborate and deal with topics from action to horror to romance to horror, again depending upon the song? What do you suggest?

I really want to go to the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Here's my situation:
My highest ACT score is a 24. My subscores within that 24 are: English 26 and Math 25.
As for UIC's placement test they require the following subscores to be exempt from the tests. http://www.uic.edu/depts/counselctr/testing/Testing_Programs/PEP/exemptions/PEP_exemptions_elsa.htm

My second highest is a 23 in which my subscores were: English: 29 and Math: 24.
I am a prospective pre-med student and i really don't want to be taking prep classes in college which i woud not be recieving credit for if i do bad on those placement tests. (They say you can not use a calculator on the math test and that's an issue for me)
So, what I would like to know is which score i should send. As far as applying goes, my gpa is about a 4.3 (on a 5.0 scale) and 40%ile.

Here is the link to see the average freshman statistics at UIC...

My husband is studying to get his GED so he can go on to college. How would he go about taking the SAT for college? When I took the SAT in high school, I registered for it through my school. How would he be able to take it?

Do colleges decide on whether to accept you or not based on your major? For example, if I apply as an International Business major, will they look more closely at my math class scores?

Also, if it would be better to apply as Undeclared, what would I put for Undeclared for business, communications?

I got an F in this class. My dad who was my last family member died when I was taking this class.

This is the email
First, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. It must have been
difficult to experience this as you were coming to this school. In terms of
the Social Psychology class, I looked back over your record in the
class and I'm afraid that I cannot recommend a retroactive
withdrawal. You attended class regularly and completed all of the
assignments and exams, but did not demonstrate competence in them. I
hope that you are able to find another way too boost your GPA so that
you are able to graduate.

I am a college senior majoring in U.S. History, and I am having trouble in U.S. History class I'm taking now. I have a 3.96 GPA and will be graduating in the Spring, and I'm probably on track to get a B in my troubled course. If I replace the class in Spring, I can pretty much guarantee an A, and will still graduate on time. Should I drop the class and lower my GPA or take the surefire A in the spring with a W on my transcript?

... even just a slightest bit? For example, let’s say that a student did well in the class, but for whatever reason, you don’t particularly like the student, or perhaps there was a debate, and your views and his clashed. At the end of the course, the student borders between an A & an A--. Would your negative emotional attitude toward the student affect your grading? What would change your mind about giving the student an A instead of the A-? I would really appreciate a totally honest answer.

I'd like to study a particular topic that spans all sorts of disciplines: philosophy (pre-Socratics, Plato, Aristotle), religion, anthropology, psychology (Jung), literature, history (especially of Western intellectual thought).

Yet, is it possible to have an in-depth study of these particular areas in classes focused on these topics instead of vague survey theme-directed courses that briefly touch on the topics from an oblique bias and have it all fit together in a degree program?

I'm not a "lifelong learner", I have serious scholarly ambitions, and in surveying various grad programs in liberal arts, humanities, and interdisciplinary studies I have thus far not encountered any which are capable of or even adequate as far as meeting my needs. Have I overlooked anything?

I have had several college classes, mostly math classes, where the instructor rushes through math proofs and examples without given students time to write things down or mentally digest the material.
It seems like the instructors are showing off their mastery of the subject instead of explaining it to the students. They are doing 2 things: writing and talking about something they already know.
The students have to do 3 things: listen, write and try to understand the material.
Anybody else have the same experience?

Yes, I know -- I'm dumb. I went to a nationally accredited school for my Associate of Science. My degree is costly and meaningless. It was a for-profit school, too. Now I'm taking classes online from a regionally accredited for-profit school. I want out of this online and "for-profit" stuff.. I want to go to a REAL college. I live in Virginia and I'm wondering if there's any decent colleges that will possibly accept my transfer credit -- I don't wanna start all over again!

I'm enrolled in an class right now that is extremely difficult for me (out of my major, out of my interest) and I was contemplating withdrawing from it, so I can focus my energy and time in acing my other four classes. Would it look better on my academic application to the new school if I withdrew from that class, but got excellent scores in my other ones? Or would it be better to stick it through to the end, and get a slightly lower GPA overall (since the class is really difficult)? (I am past the drop deadline, it would have to be a withdrawal from course). Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to read my question. Thank you so much!

I'm not referring at all to people who must work full time and go to night school or part time college.

I'm referring to those who spend more than eight semesters for only one major and degree and who do not need to work full time because they milked all the financial aid they could.

Personally, it took me eight semesters to finish, however, I didn't do it in a four year time span (since high school graduation) and I regret that. I had no excuse. Even though I finished a semester after most of my class, I was already behind a year or two in the job market. On my resume, I still like to put class of 2001, even though it was really December 2001. However, I had to march with 2002, since there was only one commencement each academic year, and people kept associating me with 2002.

Please treat this as a delicate situation. Serious ones need only apply. Since I am pretty much resigned to the fact that I am highly stubborn ,somewhat arrogant, I need any one out there to educate me to what exactly I can get out there if decided to drop my drawers and just do it with anyone, and I mean ANYONE. I have tried staying on a regular regime of being on a mood stabilizer, to being put on SSRI's to re-directing my way of thinking by means of reading books of all kinds to watching T.V. to going for rides on buses to walking the animals to trying to sleeping thru it. Nothing seems to work. I went to go and see my OB/ GYN. I see a mental Dr. and Dr. who prescribes Mood Stabilizers. My mother thinks its stress, I have lost my car and subsequently have had to move due to transportation problems. I have been thinking of getting a BOB (Battery Operated Boyfriend). I am at the end of my rope. What exactly is out there and what would you advise me to do? Educate me.
