If I took out 30,000 in college loan for the next 3 years of my college years left, how long would it take me to pay it all back? Is 30,000 alot?
If you have 30k of debt you can extend the loan over 20 years instead of the normal 10 years. You can also do graduated payments where you start off low, then the payment ramps up over the years -- the idea being that you will rise up and get a better paying position over time, so the larger payment 10 years ahead of you wont be a burden. 30k for an undergrad degree is on the high side but not too outrageous (especially if a big chunk of that is living expenses). The average new car today is well over 20k, for comparison.
Wow...That is quite a bit. Yes an No. It depends on if you will have an above average salary job. What is your major? $15,000 is considered a lot so that's just an idea of how much money that is to be responsible for owing. You better start making monthly payments now cause it will take a while.

School Transcript, do we have to transfer all credits to new school?
In undergrad i went to 4 different schools, but when i finally transferred to my last school (the one i will graduate from) I only transferred 2 school transcripts and not the third, the one I left out I had failed the classes and withdrew the last semester. Am i required to transfer all transcripts, and if so what will happen if my current school finds out??
FYI: this really only applies if you go to a 4 year institution, or a college with selective admissions. If you go to a two year you do not have to report your transcripts if they don't apply to your degree but otherwise you will get in trouble at a 4 year. it is witholding information which when you filed your application you stated you would not do, and the applications almost always say list ALL schools attended. This could get you in a lot of big trouble if you don't go in and talk to an admissions councelor, before this costs you a lof of time and money. This is grounds for removal, but I doubt it would happen (especially if it was a while ago and you are doing fine in your current institution). Most likely they will just say to send it in, and they will look it over and tell you that you might have to retake the class, or simply let it go. BUT if they find out without you, it'll probably be a lot worse. Also a tip- simply write a long letter to your admissions councelor explaining the situation, just state that the first school slipped your mind because it was so long ago and you spent a short amount of time there. Also, mention how you turned your academic career towards the better and explain why you withdrew or failed those classes. Honestly though its best to just talk to your councelor because technically this is grounds for repulsion of admission.
no. only send the transcripts from the schools of which you have taken classes that apply to your degree. if you have no classes that you need from the school that you failed in then dont bother sending those transcripts.
This is not your issue. The issue is: What will they TAKE?????

Am I going to be able to move on and continue my education after here?
Alright, I'll try to make this as brief as possible.
I go to a small community college. This is my fourth semester there and in all honesty, I have been doing terrible which I feel is unacceptable in a community college if I want to succeed anywhere else.
So far, I have 6 W's and my GPA is around 2.6-2.9. I think I didn't actually learn to study until I got here. The whole experience so far has just been kind of stressful and I'm feeling like giving up.
I really only want to transfer a certain school, which is a selective school, so I'm thinking that I won't get accepted there with all my W's even if I pull my GPA up. Is it possible that I can do better and move on from here, or should I just consider settling for a two year degree?
Finish what you started---get the 2-year degree. Then think about getting a job for a year or two while you decide what you want to do with the rest of your life. That would be a good time to apply to a university if you want that BA degree.

What to do/where to go for college?
Hi. I want to study Forensic Science, but I also want to study Hindi. I'm really confused about which college to go to. I know Hindi as a minor is not really effective so I want to double major. I might also want to minor in French/Spanish or both if possible. What colleges are best for me to apply to and that would let me learn what I want to?
If I were you I would go ahead and do the double major and also take French since Spanish is easier and you can learn it at a later time. remember the brain gets lets susceptible to learning new material at an older age.

How hard is to learn Hindi in college?
Okay. This is for people who studied Hindi in college? how hard was it for you to learn it?
Not hard. I am a nativespeak.er
Well, I didn't pick hindi as a subject but yes did attend a few lectures bcoz there was this sweet girl who had hindi as her subject....I felt it was not tough but again it depends on your language skills. Consult a professor from your college.
I did not find it hard at all. OK am still at the elementary stage but some time back I did not even know the hindi alphabets. I managed to read a children story book. Not bad for a novice like me.
Well i learn in my primary school and till now its in my memory. I think its not hard in collage.

What are all of the steps I have to take to become an equine veterinarian?
how many years in college would this take? What could I do to get better prepared?
I actually helped my younger sister look into this.
You will have 4 years of undergrad and around 4 years of Graduate work and then another 4 in some sort of residency. (So about 11-12 years in all)
Where you go to undergrad doesn't matter as much, but going some where that they have a preVeterinarian program and Vet school will increase your chances greatly.
You should look at places like: University of Wisconsin-Madison, Iowa State University, University of Tennessee-Knoxville, Auburn University, and Ohio State University.
In college you should take advantage of all the internships and extracurriculars you can while studying hard to be the top of your class.
Becoming a Vet is not easy and it is a very competitive field, but because you are planning ahead puts you on the right track. Keep working at it and I wish you all the luck!
Four years of college in a pre-med program, then you have to apply to veterinary school. You might also look into AG and tech schools (agriculture and technology), two year programs in animal husbandry. If you are still in high school, all you have to do is just get really good grades in your courses, and find out what schools in your area offer pre-med

Boston University students, what do you like about it, and what are some of the great things, and the not?
I've been admitted to the class of 2013 at COM, and I plan on visiting the school over spring break. I just want to know some details to better help me in my decision. Thanks!
P.S. IF YOU'RE A BU STUDENT CAN YOU ALSO LIST THE INTERNSHIPS OR JOBS YOU HAVE GOTTEN? ARE THEY NOT AS GOOD AS THE ONES OFFERED IN THE CITY OF NY? (I haven't heard of anyone getting internships at Seventeen Magazine, Teen Vogue, etc.)
BU is a great school and I love it here. Our campus is something you have to get used to, it's not your typical grassy open campus, but I personally really like how it's downtown and so close to everything. The T is right outside your dorm and runs down the length of the campus, so you never have to walk far to get on the T. I've had a lot of really great, really funny, compelling professors and enjoyable classes. After my tiny high school, I love how big and diverse the student population is. I've made so many great friends. I think it's a lot of fun here. Boston is a great city to go to school in. There's always a lot going on and there's a lot of spirit and a lot of pride. Hockey games are so much fun. The biggest con would be that the dorms kind of suck. There isn't really a dorm that's great. The really nice ones are far away from classes. The closer ones are huge and no air conditioning. I'm not a COM student, but COM definitely is the coolest building on campus.

Who reads the essays when you apply to a university?
When you do an essay for your university applicationho reads it? The university staff you chose?
if i send the same essay(because it was the same topic) to two diferent universities..is that wrong? What you do recommend?
Any passed experienced???
Thanks
<If you are considering writing the essay to a target audience, don't. There is no way you can predict who (or how many) will read it. It the topic permits, using the same essay for multiple schools is not only not wrong, it is common sense.
Recommendation. Don't be as lazy on the essay as you were with this posting. Spelling, punctuation and grammar count. If it comes up in the essay, it is "past" experience, not "passed". Sentences begin with caps, and "I" is a formal noun. "...." is not a substitute for a comma. "The university staff you chose?" is an incomplete sentence and the word is "choose", not "chose". It's "different" not "diferent".
Yeah, I know - picky, picky, picky. However, lazy habits in writing carry over and become habit. If I were screening an admissions essay and found this many mistakes in the first paragraph or two, I would reject it out of hand and not bother reading past the first paragraph or two.
They have admissions counselors who read the essays. You can't choose who reads it. Sending the same essay isn't wrong if you wrote it. The Common Application is practically made for that. I've sent the same essay to about 9 schools it's not a problem whatsoever, as long as the essay isn't specifically focused on a particular school (you wouldn't want to mention the name of the wrong school).

What are different college classes that you can take in Science?
I know that college classes are different that just the basic ones that you take in high school. In college what would "science" be called? What are some science classes that focus on mainly different sicknesses and diseases? Like how they spread and stuff. Also what is a science class you can take on the environment?
If you don't really know that's fine just tell me science classes that sound really impressive.
Also if you have a master degree in science, what is that called? Because you wouldn't say that you have a masters degree in science would you?
Basically, physical and biological sciences are the two main categories. However, they subdivide and merge into many different areas. The most popular biological major is biology. Biology is a generalist approach to biological science education. You take fundamental courses that educate you on all biological science topics. Under physical science, the most popular are chemistry and physics. But like I said, there's many other subject areas too numerous to mention.
Environment is ecology, which falls under biological science.

Should i get a degree in sociology or public administration?
i plan on becoming a cop one day but i'm not sure what my degree should be in. which one of these two would involve less reading(reading and math are my weaknesses)? which one is considered more difficult(i plan on going to cal state fullerton)? thanks to all who answered.
go with what ever you feel comfortable with... when you start college, try taking classes out of both majors and see which one you like better..... or you could major in one and minor in the other that way you get experience in both.
From my experience:
Do not go the easy way out. Maybe you won't end up being a policeman. Stuff happens. Will you be stuck with a degree you can't use to find a job?
You say reading and math are difficult for you. That's pretty much the basis of all academic education in America.
Physical Science: Language, Math
Computers: Math
Politics: Language
Nursing: Language, Math
Law: Language
Accounting: Math
Business:
Well, maybe not everything requires knowledge. The point is if you want a useless degree that won't help you, take stuff like sociology or public administration. There's still a lot of reading involved though. But if you want something to fall back on pick something that you know you'll struggle with more but the reward is better.
Why don't you major in criminal justice? I know that's the necessary degree in order to be a police officer. Don't just do something to get a degree, study what you are interested in and what's going to prepare you for your job.
Both involve a lot of reading. I would think that sociology would be more applicable to being a cop.

College question... help?
I applied for Dental Hygiene at my community college. I should be getting a letter soon, saying if I got accepted or not.
I noticed on my biography information on the college's website that they changed both my MAJOR and INTENDED MAJOR to say Dental Hygiene after both (it used to only say Dental Hygiene for Intended Major.. they changed it about 2 days ago).
Does this mean I got in? I know I need the letter to be sure, but I really want to know now. I'm anxious haha.
Whenever you are not sure what is going on at a college, it is wise to check with someone there who has the answer. Your suspicion that you have been accepted is probably correct, but just to be sure, call the admissions or registrar's office and ask if admissions decisions have been made. They will tell you if you have been accepted.

I have been put on a waiting list by Cornell University?
I applied for freshman of fall 2009, and was put on the waiting list. Does this really mean "no", or do I still have a solid chance of getting in?
And if anyone has had this experience before, how long does it take for them to get back to you? I need to accept my acceptance from a backup college before May 1st, but I want to see if I can get into Cornell.
Thanks!
Cornell seemed big with the waiting list this year. I think that may be because they don't know what percentage of accepted students will enroll, because more intelligent people with less money would choose Cornell over say Brown for financial reasons. THey need a large window to work with. If the financial crisis has little effect on enrollments, you have a great shot of getting in. If not, you never know in what position you are on the waiting list. i know plenty of people who got into Ivy League from teh waiting list.

I'm trying to work in a hospital while I study for RN career, but hospitals only hire cna's. I'd like to know, does NYC allow the cna online course or do they require on site for clinicals???
there is no online course for CNA'S you need the hands on experience and clinical for the state exam im glad your doing it because you will see how hard we work and as an RN you will have more respect for us..

Help! I want to be a vet....?
Okay so I am graduating high school this year. I want to be a vet and get my DVM. I am so confused and lost though! I know where to go to get my DVM but I don't know how to get there.
What should I get my bachelors degree in and where should I go? I live in southern california and I am going to start out at a community college then transfer. But where do I transfer to? Please help I have looked all over a bunch of websites and my brain is ready to explode! lol
have you tried your local pet clinics, alot of times, word of mouth is the best advice, especially when ya get it from the experts. go to some of the local vet offices in your area, offer to volunteer for the summer, you need a summer job anyway if you are going to college in the fall. talk to the doggy doctors and find out what they had to do and what schools they went to. plus if you work for them for the summer, you may be able to use them as a reference in school applications...
if you can get into sac state go there and sign up for the UC Davis articulation program. you go to sac state for two years and them you are sent to UC Davis! from UC Davis you can get into a good vet school :)
good luck! maybe someday you'll help one of my pets! :D

What does a ?sign mean after a course number. For example, BIO451?
I'm looking at college websites and I'm wondering what that symbol after a course number is. Anyone know?
It will be a reference for a note that will probably be at the bottom of the page.
Look for the same symbol elsewhere on page with some writing after it.
It can have a slightly different meaning according to the college. I have seen it to mean that there are prerequisites to take the course. Another is that it can be found with another name in another department.

Careers a biology major could have?
I have a year left for my undergrad. And I still need to decide what I really want to do!
What careers are available for biology majors?
I know I really need to grad school before I can actually make any money. But I would like to get an idea of what careers are available for biology majors. So that I can get some more information to start planning out grad school.
Thanks!

Is it possible to major in performing art and minor in zoology and vice versa?
How would that work?
The college would need to have both right?
Yes it is possible but as you said the college must have both areas of study or something similar to it. In some cases, it is possible to create your own major but there are steps you must complete in order to do so. Majoring and minoring in two completely different subjects will most likely set you back since you have to complete different courses in order to graduate with a major/minor. If you want an easy way to obtain a major/minor, take courses that will fulfill both you major and minor rather than taking different courses for each one.

What does it take to be a Registered Nurse?
List all the classes you need to take. Like Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology,etc. What else?
Well, you need a sound academic standing in high school English, algebra, chemistry, biology, physics and psychology.
An understanding of computers and technology also is a great asset. Coz everything digital technology these days.
Education and training. There are three major educational paths to registered nursing bachelor of science degree in nursing (BSN), an associate degree in nursing (ADN), and a diploma. BSN programs, offered by colleges and universities, take about 4 years to complete.
There are three major educational paths to registered nursing bachelor of science degree in nursing (BSN), an associate degree in nursing (ADN), and a diploma. BSN programs, offered by colleges and universities, take about 4 years to complete. In 2006, 709 nursing programs offered degrees at the bachelor level. ADN programs, offered by community and junior colleges, take about 2 to 3 years to complete. About 850 RN programs granted associate degrees. Diploma programs, administered in hospitals, last about 3 years. Only about 70 programs offered diplomas. Generally, licensed graduates of any of the three types of educational programs qualify for entry-level positions.
Many RNs with an ADN or diploma later enter bachelor programs to prepare for a broader scope of nursing practice. Often, they can find an entry-level position and then take advantage of tuition reimbursement benefits to work toward a BSN by completing an RN-to-BSN program. In 2006, there were 629 RN-to-BSN programs in the United States. Accelerated master degree in nursing (MSN) programs also are available by combining 1 year of an accelerated BSN program with 2 years of graduate study. In 2006, there were 149 RN-to-MSN programs.
Accelerated BSN programs also are available for individuals who have a bachelor or higher degree in another field and who are interested in moving into nursing. In 2006, 197 of these programs were available. Accelerated BSN programs last 12 to 18 months and provide the fastest route to a BSN for individuals who already hold a degree. MSN programs also are available for individuals who hold a bachelor or higher degree in another field.
Individuals considering nursing should carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of enrolling in a BSN or MSN program because, if they do, their advancement opportunities usually are broader. In fact, some career paths are open only to nurses with a bachelor or master degree. A bachelor degree often is necessary for administrative positions and is a prerequisite for admission to graduate nursing programs in research, consulting, and teaching, and all four advanced practice nursing specialtieslinical nurse specialists, nurse anesthetists, nurse-midwives, and nurse practitioners. Individuals who complete a bachelor receive more training in areas such as communication, leadership, and critical thinking, all of which are becoming more important as nursing care becomes more complex. Additionally, bachelor degree programs offer more clinical experience in nonhospital settings. Education beyond a bachelor degree can also help students looking to enter certain fields or increase advancement opportunities. In 2006, 448 nursing schools offered master degrees, 108 offered doctoral degrees, and 58 offered accelerated BSN-to-doctoral programs.
Best of luck.
Have you looked at Chico State nursing program??? It's really easy to get into the bachelors of nursing for RN. You can take O-chem, Anatomy, physiology, and microbiology. They will take the two best grades from those 4 classes and then they will take two best grades from the other non-science classes. So if you get an A, C, C, A for those four classes they will take the two A's. If you are able to get A's in at least two clases you WILL definitely get in. Believe me it's was pretty easy to get A's in Anatomy and physiology here.
Are you talking about in high school or college?
In high school you should just take every math and science class available. Also, take psychology.
In Kentucky, before even starting a nursing program, you have to have your MNA license, so it may be a good idea to go ahead and get that.
In college, you'll most likely take Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology, Statistics, Psychology, etc. Just make sure you get a good grade on the SAT or ACT because nursing programs are becoming very competitive.
If you're in Canada, you need a university degree to become a nurse. Take a look at the nursing school website of the school you want to attend and there should be a list of the courses that you should take beforehand. They will included advanced level math and sciences (biology and chemistry mainly) and math (algebra, maybe calculus but probably not-but you do need to have a good handle on math). Take a look and see what kind of work you can do to help you get an understand of the physical work you would need to do in preparation for nursing. You could volunteer in a hospital or nursing home and observe the work of other nurse or personal support workers. Many nursing students become personal support workers. Best of luck, and work hard.
anatomy 1 and 2 in college take chem in high school and bio 1 and 2 you need many classes i am a Rn and i took some classes in high school but most in college. you need math and science those are the majority of nursing. the college with the programs will have prerecs that you must have to enter the course. it is a long hard journey to become a nurse. good luck
I take it you're after a B.S.N.--Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Google those keywords and add "universities." Then go to your local college and look up their catalogs, or send for one or two yourself. My ex- has a BSN from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA, and their program is excellent. Not that I'm telling you to go there, but if you write to their School of Nursing for a catalog you'll see what a good program involves. Also Duke University--likely one of the 2 or 3 best in the country (I taught Nursing students, among others, and roomed with med students). If all you want is an R.N. (Associates Degree), the requirements aren't so rigorous, but your opportunities for advancement and you salary will be much less. I answered that question several times in the last 6 months, and you can look those up under "Answers" and "Best Answers" on my Profile page. I haven't been specific because requirements will vary slightly among schools, and catalogs will give you the best idea. Oh--two links: www.odu.edu and www.duke.edu should help, too

What are some college majors who commonly take elementary algebra?
and why do people take elementary algebra ?
Can't you just take the assessment test at your junior college and test into a much a higher math if you teach yourself at home with your book ?
You're confusing elementary algebra with that of introductory college algebra. They are completely different. Elementary algebra is not even a collegiate-level course; it is considered remedial education taught only at community colleges.
Yes you can test out of it. Every degree needs atleast one college level math course. Elementary algebra is two classes before college level. There is no reason to take elementary algebra unless you took a placement test and it was determined your not up to par with college level math. College math are the classes past intermediate algebra.
You could, but who would WANT to take a much higher course if they don't have to? I sure as hell wouldn't. And many people do not have the skills to teach themselves things from a book. That's the only way I can learn math at all but I know very few others who can do it at all.
Many people take college algebra depending on their majors. For example, if you are deciding to teach elementary students, a multiple subject credential is required, therefore taking classes that you would soon teach.
Ask your school. Every college has different rules regarding these things.

Scholarship Interview Question?
1) Are you supposed to shake everyone's hand even if there are 10 people? Do I say, "Nice to meet you" or just my name?
2) How would you respond to, "What are some of your weaknesses?" What is something I could talk about.
1.) Just greet the people as you were to greet guests at your home, or mature friends. If they're waiting for your presence, then you should shake everyone's hand where it is not too quick, or a moment that doesn't take too long. Say hello, or something that lets that person know that you're a positive person who's often usually around the crowd.
2.) Start by setting a bit of a background about yourself. For example, I am a student going to X university, and plan to graduate with a major in X. Yet, one the struggles I face is being organized.
Weaknesses doesn't have to be something big. It has something to do with a simple problem you can't over come.
-Lance
for number two say what you are interested in and what you want to get out of their school, and then tell them why you need their school to improve your weaknesses, if i get best answer tell me how it went on the best answer comment!!!

Questions about college (MCAT?)?
I know this is going to sound like stupid question, but I need to know about college.
1. If I were going to apply to Yale medical school, would it be different than applying to Yale?
2. Can you transfer colleges?
3. What is the MCAT?
4. When do you take the MCAT?
I know this sound really stupid, sorry.
1. You would be applying to the faculty of medicine at Yale, so it wouldnt really be any different than applying for Yale, just that there are certain requirments that need to be met before you apply.
2. You can't get into in a low tier medical school then try to transfer to Yale if thats what you were planning haha
3. The MCAT is the medical college admissions test. It covers several subjects in physics, chemistry, biology and verbal reasoning/reading comprehension. Its a 6 hour long test.
4. Most people take the MCAT the spring/summer before the year they plan to apply to medical school although the test is offered at certain dates all throughout the year.
The MCAT stands for Medical College Admissions Test. It is taken typically during the junior and/or senior year of your undergraduate program. Medical School is not the same as college...

University of Colorado at Boulder or University of Iowa?
I am really stuck between attending Iowa or Colorado. I like both campuses. I'm kind of unsure which to choose because I am from Illinois and I know a lot of people from Illinois go to Iowa and I may want to broaden my horizons. Colorado is very expensive however. My bro went to Iowa so I know a lot about it but can anyone tell me anything about CU? Thank you.
Hey, I live in CO and I could probably tell you some about CU. So first of all, as you may already know, CU Boulder has a beautiful campus. The city and area is beautiful and the proximity to Denver is nice. There is so much to do in Colorado outdoor wise. There is skiing and snowboarding, hiking, you name it. I think for your college years, it'd be a new experience. I can relate to you because I think I am traveling away from Colorado for college ONLY to get a new experiece. I love Colorado but I sort of just want to see something else for a little bit.
CU-Boulder is a huge party school. The city in general, is known, infamous or not, for its partying. From knowing people who have gone to CU, I know that opinions are so broad. Many have loved it, and I know one that has hated it. The area and school-- as you know it is expensive-- is also known for having a rich population, which is why some might not get along as much.
Well, I really hope this help and I know you'll be happy with either school. GOOD LUCK!!

Is college overrated?
(a college education to be exact)
NO.
especially these days.
you can't get anywhere without at least a bachelor's degree.
seriously, invest in college.
completely agree with the person above
And college is just such a good experience, even if you decide not to party. I absolutely love it.

What year in high school is most important to colleges?
if a student got a 2.9 gpa freshman year but got at least a 3.5 the next three years will they have a hard time getting accepted into good colleges?
no, not necessarily, depending on the college you are looking to attend. Usually colleges check the junior year because of SAT tests and most of your standardized tests are completed. Also, they don't over analyze your freshman year because there are several factors that go into it such a newer, larger school with older kids, immaturity and just new scenery. Between your freshman year in HS and freshman year in college is a huge difference and it won't make or break you, but even a 2.9 is not the worst. Good Luck, You will be fine!
junior year & 1st semester of senior year. you'll get at least a 3.3 which is satisfactory even for good colleges (but not IV league schools of course).
you'll have to do well in your SATs, & have several extracurricular activities (volunteer hours, work experience, school clubs, teams, etc.).
Your Grade 12 Year, But They Also Look At Your Grade 11 Year.
They Will Usually Not Look At Your Grade 10 Year (Unless They Are Down To 2 People And 1 Spot. And They Will NOT Look At Your Grade 9 Or Before Grades.
grade 11th is the most important year anyone will tell you that but they all count towards ur GPA and you should be fine as long as you raise ur GPA!
I've read that the 11th and 12th gpa is important. I may not be correct. I read this in one random question here in yahoo answers...
they pay a good bit of attention to Junior year.

How should change my major at UCSB?
Im an incoming freshmen and i wanted to go ME instead of Psychology.. they said i should send an email request, but should i make it formal like a essay request?
No, an email should be fine. Just tell them you want to switch (perhaps include a brief one or two sentence explanation). Advisers change students' majors all the time. It's just a matter of telling them what to retype in their computer.

Which test should i take, the ACT or SAT? I am also from Toronto,Canada..?
Any other advice on getting into a US school as a canadian citizen is greatly requested
Technically, it doesn't matter. Some say it depends on where you're wanting to go to school. Schools on either coast tend to prefer the SAT and schools in the midwest tend to prefer the ACT. However, most schools usually accept scores from either one. Take the test that you think you'll do better on.
No, US history is not on the test. They test mostly on math, vocabulary, reading comprehension and science reasoning.
