Higher Education (University +) - December 2007

I was just wondering if anyone knows any UC's around that would accept a GPA like 3.8, with AP classes. Anyone?

i'm reposting this, because i forgot to include some important information

My current GPA is 3.4, with 14 credits

this past term (fall, the one thats currently ending) i had some medical issues, and was out of school for a little over a week. so i feel preety far behind.

i'v talked to my teachers and what not, about extra credit, and they've been helpfull, but i still think i won't do as well.

one of my classes i'll probably get a C, and the other, a D. i just fell way too far behind, and couldn't catch up, even with the extra credit, and its too late to withdraw/drop the class

with 14 credits, how far would you guys think my GPA would drop?

so to sum up....

-i'm a freshman
-i'm finishing up my 2nd term
-my school runs on the quarter system (summer,fall,winter,spring)
-i have 14 credits under my belt
-i'm finishing up these 2 classes
-one is worth 4 credits, the other is worth 3
-one is giving me a C, the other a D

with that info, how far do you think my GPA will drop?

Here in Texas, and probably every other state in the Union, Community and State Colleges charge two or three different tuition rates, based on residency. In-county (for 3 tiers) residents pay the cheapest rates. In-state residents typically pay a mid-priced tuition (for 3 tiers) or the cheap tuition rate (for 2 tiers). Out-of-state and foreign students pay through the nose!

Typically, after 1 year living in state or in county, out-of-state students get to pay the cheaper local rates. However, in most cases, foreign students never get the cheaper rates, regardless of how long they live in the particular state.

Typically, the multi-tiered tuition depends on property taxes collected by the college district. Some colleges have dorms, but many foreign students live in apartments or rented houses or with extended relatives where property taxes are paid.

Consider also the currency exchange rates and some foreign students are US-sponsored.

Is this Fair? Unfair? Discrimination?

Dr Justin, PhD, M.D. would take years, but what are some titles I can add to my name right now or with quick certification? Dr., PhD, M.D, BSN, RN, LPN....a medical prefix or suffix doesn't really interest me.

Some abbreviations other than Mister or Master?
And if you could rank them from longest to shortest amount of time to achieve. Are there some I can use right now? I'm not in college; I'm not in the military; I don't own my own company to be president/CEO/etc of.

Be creative but serious. Thank you in advance.
Justin

I have read a lot of negativies about this school on the rip off report. I am concerned. I am working on my MS in Special Education. I asked schools before I started if they would hire someone who had graduated from UOP. They said they would. Yet all these people are convenced no one would hire someone from UOP. I am curious are there employers out there that would not hire UOP students. If so what type of employers. Also are those who do hire UOP students and if so what type of employers. As an employer let me know what's your business and why or why not you would or would not hire a UOP student. I really want to know. Thanks!

I will be going to Pharmacy school in 2009. I head that a good way of showing Pharmacy schools that you are really interested in Pharmacy is having work experience in a Pharmacy. I live in a small town and have already been to Wal-Mart and Walgreens. Both of which are not hiring right now. They are at their maximum. There are some small, family-owned drug stores however. Do you think they would pay an unexperienced college student to work there? How should I approach them? I know this may seem dumb but I don't know if they would hire me and I want the best way to approach them. Also, any alternatives would be nice!

Well, I am a student from Singapore, and our equivalent of the last two years of American high school is Junior College, where we study towards the (singapore-cambridge) A levels.

Now, I am 15, and for me next year would be the last year of secondary school, which is the second year of American high school.

Well, I like Penn a lot, and I am thinking if I could take the SATs now, and apply, would that be OK by the Adcoms? Would Penn consider accepting me, if say I get like a near perfect score on the SAT plus good recs.

I know of a guy who got into Caltech purely by SATs and without A levels or the sort. But Penn? How about other top business schools like Haas (Berkeley)... etc??

Thank you all...

We friends had a chat, and someone said when you manage to get a PhD degree, it doesn't matter where you study, the certificate's values are the same.

I suppose a graduate from Ivys (Harvard, Yale, etc) are still regarded as better ones - at least that is the common perception, which does not necessarily reflect the truth.

But apart from these universities, is it true that your PhD degrees are considered being equal in value, whether you study in France, Russia, or China?

I am currently attending Stony Brook University. My intended major is Pharmacology and I plan on transfering to these following schools...

Boston University
Northeastern University
Villanova University
SUNY Buffalo
Rutgers-College of Pharmacy

My GPA for the end of the first year should be around a 3.0. Do colleges your transfer look at your high school transcripts? If they do I had about an 86 GPA and recieved a 1220 on Crit Reading and math. What kind of shot do you think I have at those schools??

Id really like to know...any thoughts would be very much appreciated...I just want to know what kind of chane I have or should i shoot lower. Money is not a problem by the way.
