Higher Education (University +) - December 2007

So my sister is applying to college again this year. She dropped out after getting pregnant and then gave the baby up for adoption.
Now it is 2 years later, she graduated, she has great grades and etc...
Would it be appropriate for her to write about that experience in her admissions essay? Since that is a life changing event... Do you think it is too personal? Any opinions on it would be appreciated...

i'm a pretty good student and i'll be graduating soon. i'm considering not going to college yet though. i've always wanted to be a part of the Peace Corps and was thinking about doings that right after high school. i want to go to college, i want to major in theatre, but i think i might put that on hold.

good or bad idea?

i want to stay in state the 1st year or so of school, then transfer. i've thought of the following options:
1) go to college in state 1-2 years. stop for a year or two, join the PC, then go back to college
2) join right after high school, then go to college
3) go and finish college, then join

i haven't even talked to my parents about it. i just want other opinions.

Are these good scores? I'm a freshmen in high school right now. So i still have a lot more to learn. But i've already taken algebra 1 and am in geometry. I'm also in an advanced english class. So do you think when i take the test for real once i'm a junior or senior i will have a better score, considering that i continue taking those advance classes?
I want to get into a school like uw madison or um twin cities

What are the requirements for getting into law school?

My GPA is a 2.9 and I go to Florida State. I haven't taken the LSAT yet.

We have a good law school at the university, would it be easier to get into that school considering I will receive my undergrad from the same university that I am applying for?

Also - what GPA is median, and what is a good LSAT score?

Thanks in advance!

I'll have to start my premed prerequisites right now along with my undergraduate degree. If I do that, I won't be able to enter medical school until I am 25 years old. I would like to know if it is worth all the hard work right now and during medical school to be a doctor. Is the cost of time worth it? Being 29 and just out of medical school...is that worth it? I want to work in the medical field and feel that the best way that I can benefit society is by being a doctor. I want people to trust me with their lives and to know that I will give them all that I can offer to help.

Describe the courses of study and the unique characteristics of the University of Pennsylvania that most interest you. Why do these interests make you a good match for Penn?


When I began my college search, I wanted to make sure that I remained detached from the schools I was researching. This would allow me to make objective decisions about where to apply; and, I hoped, ensure the best possible college experience. Now, as I near the end of the application process, I find myself attached to one school: the University of Pennsylvania, at a much deeper level then I would have originally hoped. The reasons for this attachment are many, and are a testament to Penn’s (and in particular Wharton’s) innovative and unique methods.
The first aspect of Wharton that caught my eye was its phenomenal faculty. I have read several books by professors at Wharton and was struck by not only their business acumen, but also the great depth of their thinking and elegant style. By being around this incredible staff, I hope to absorb some of their finesse and manner as well as their knowledge.
While I believe the professors at Wharton, and Penn in general, are the best in the country, it is not impossible to find other universities with comparable staffs. This is why the curriculum at Wharton is perhaps what most defines the program. As a Wharton undergraduate, I will be able to begin taking business classes freshman year. This intertwining of business and liberal arts classes, combined with the great range and flexibility of offered courses, set Wharton apart.
Another feature of Penn that greatly appeals to me is the Jerome Fisher program in management and technology. In addition to business, I have always been interested in computer engineering. The Jerome Fisher program will allow me to not only earn degrees in both areas, but will help me to connect the two fields in an intimate way.
Besides the more tangible reasons for my interest in Penn, there is something about the University that is hard to describe. While I was not able to visit the campus, I picked up a sense of community and purpose from comments made by students and the pictures shown on the website. I believe that I can add to this community in many ways, and ask that the reader(s) consider my application carefully.
