I'm thinking of studying electrical engineering. I have a 3.51 GPA, and SAT score of 2010. I'm in the science honor society, national honor society, and math honor society, and vice president of national honor society. I'm in the charity club, debate team, and ecology club. I've taken dance classes for 10 years, danced on stage MANY times, and singing lessons for 4 years and won first place when singing on stage. I was also a finalist for a vocab competition three times, and went to nationals once. I was also in this biology program where we've won national competitions. I was an intern at lockheed martin.
i've volunteered at a hospital, museum, and taught kids--and i have 300 community service hours. my short story was published once, as well as a scientific paper I've written.

what do you think? thanks.

I am on H1 visa in the US and recently converted from F1 student visa to H1. While doing this I exhausted a one-time only temp. student work permit. Now thinking of applying for full-time MBA (Finance + Intl Biz). Options:
North Eastern Univ.
Boston Univ.
Babson College
Suffolk Univ.
UMASS, Amherst
UMASS, Lowell
Univ of Toronto, Canada
York Univ, Canada

I can save more fees in Canada as I have Canadian permanent residence. Whereas in US, I will have to turn back to be an intl student but I won't get 1yr student work permit (I used it right after a recent MS in Computer Science).

Should I move to Canada:
(a) Can study full-time with lesser fees.
(b) Can work anywhere while studying as I have PR.
(c) Have no time limit to hunt for a job after MBA.
OR stay in US:
(a) Where there are more opportunities.
(b) Better schools but higher fees.
(c) But no temp. work authoization after MBA which I can use to get back on H1. Will have to keep taking courses till I get H1.

My dream is to become a family doctor once I get out of high school. I have a program in mind at the University of Ottawa. However, I don't really enjoy highschool science. Does that mean won't like science in University?

I'm not bad at it I got 82 in grade 10 science but I just don't have a passion for it as much. I am more interested in the medical part of science and the diseases and medicine not the highschool labs and stuff.

I often find that as hard as I am studying I am not performing well as others who study less. I am thinking of ordering and using a program that will increase my brain power or in other words use a higher percentage of my brain. If this program works out and I do better studying the same way with the same habits is it technically cheating or just using a resource?

I am looking to do an MBA (full-time) with a focus on finance (esp. risk mgt, investment mgt) + would also like to take some courses in Intl Business. Can you rank them from high to low ? Only on course value. Insight into internships & job market for international students will also be helpful. Or are all jobs taken up by MIT & HU students ?

Hi all,
Before starting college, I took a Math course at a community college and I got a C. I was told that the course would not transfer over to my college GPA but I would get credit (in units for it). However, I am wondering that when I apply to medical schools if they would use this C to calculate my overall GPA? Or is their policy the same?

Thanks

I am planning on transferring to start my junior year at another school, but can I still graduate in four years? Will I need to take a heavier classload?

I love history and psychology. I've decided I'd like to consider becoming a professor in one of these two disciplines. I'd like to know which one has a better job outlook (number of jobs available (supply) vs. number of people looking for jobs (demand)). And what kind of job security (tenure) can one expect?

I'm assuming psychology, just because of versatility (research probably pays more, you can treat patients, etc...), is more secure, but I'd like to get others opinions.

Hi all,

I was wondering, in college, is there any weighted GPA or inflation that contributes to a higher GPA? Or is there a set GPA?

Thanks

whats the order? is gpa first, then course load, then application, and then extracurricular?

oh and for the extracurricular part, what do colleges prefer? does it matter whether you're a dancer, sports player like softball or tennis player, or cheerleader? or does it not make a difference what kind of sport you do? thanks

It isn't just a bunch of big and small buildings with lawns and concrete walkways in between.. it's more fused into the city that surrounds it, maybe it's even like its own city, but it still feels like it's a normal part of the world. The buildings are modern - it isn't some fake-looking castle with wires running along the walls inside. There aren't a million people on campus but you feel like you are in a special place - a place that matters. Drinking and drugs are a rarity and students are content with the classes they take and can have a lot of fun on campus... There are things to do on campus that are truly fun, so it's hard to get bored... Students don't get excited about common math, or history, but enjoy creating things and exploring. Creating and exploring are what people do here.

That probably sounded strange, but that's what I want. Maybe I should go to a design school of some sort, but I feel like I should go to a college that offers more, so I can try different things.
