I am applying to law school in a couple years. I have a 3.8 and do lots of volunteer work. I have not taken the LSAT yet, but will a 3.8 give me a good chance of getting into a top school such as Harvard or Yale? Or do those schools usually need closer to a 4.0? Are law schools interested in diversity? How can I show diversity on my application? I was thinking of saying that I am the first person in my family to attend college since my mom just has a high school diploma and my dad has a 9th grade education. Also, I have heard that sometimes medical illnesses can show diversity. I have a disease that causes intense chronic pain. After 10 years of pain, I was finally diagnosed last year. The problem is that doctors frequently tell young girls that their symptoms are all in their heads. If I started a support group for young women with my disease, and encouraged them to ge their doctors to believe them, could that be diversity? Is diversity only being black or hispanic?

I'm looking to get into Law School after I'm done with my undergrad. Right now I'm taking a class which I am completely lost in and will most likely fail or get a C at best. Would it be worse to get the horrible grade or to withdraw from the class with a WF getting on my transcript?

I just graduated with my BSBM and am seriously thinking about pursuing a MBA. I don’t know what to expect, my last program was based around team work and presentations. I did hear however that some programs require you to do extensive paper writing is that true? I have to say that the longest paper that I wrote was about 10,000 words long. Can some one with an MBA tell me what your experiences has been?

My advanced calculus textbook is horrible. It is very poorly explained without any examples at all, 99% of the time. The exercises have no connection whatsoever to what the chapter explains.

I can find way better books than this in advanced calculus on amazon.com and they're far more helpful.

I do not know why my university almost always prefers textbooks by Pearson, Prentice Hall for science and technology courses when there is so much variety out there.

I'm moving with the class average grade (which is D so far). You have scores like 61 or 67 as average on exams, which does not even qualify to be C grade.

I feel whoever the person to decide what of kind of book to be used is doing a horrible job and has little or no knowledge at all of the course.

College isn't going nearly as well as I thought it would...in fact I hate it. My grades are mediocre at best (I have a 2.1 GPA). I'm not earning enough money to pay for school and I have to keep taking out loans. I have difficulty getting from campus to back home across state because I don't have a car. Also, my home situation is messed up and my folks can't help me out. As far as school itself is concerned, I am extremely lazy and often have no motivation to do work other than for the fact that it has to be done. I always procrastinate and I can't seem to manage my time efficiently. I haven't made many friends since being at college either, and I don't know why because I am a nice person.

I just feel that I'm wasting my time by continuing to stay in school. Should I drop out and work a blue-collar job instead, not necessarily flipping burgers but like at UPS or something?

...if I know I'll never be able to afford to get my master's later on? I know the maximum I'll be in college is 4 years, I'm already in debt up to my eyeballs and that's with every possible scholarship and grant. I'm a sociology major planning on becoming a counselor...is this even possible with just a bachelor's degree? If not, should I change my major to something I don't really like so I can get a job with just my bachelor's degree?

I want to have some information about the universities especially from students and teachers.

I have graduated from an international high school which has a high reputation. I have an International Baccalaureate diploma. I especially want to know about scholarship system, advantages and disadvantages among the universities. Most probably I will study law. And I have an EU citizenship (I know citizenship is an important matter about scholarship.)

If you can, please give me details about some good universities. I have some basic information and I want to have the details with names. I'm thinking on a few universities in Oxford but I'm still not sure.

Any good information about this subject will keep me interested. Thanks in advance.
