Apply Colleges

Posts Tagged ‘Should’

So i took math 120 and stat 220 at the university of washington as a high-schooler entering senior year. I took pretty easy classes my junior year to get a 4.0 so compared to my high school classes, the classes i took at UW were soooooo hard! I think that i got low GPAs but i haven’t gotten my grades back yet. if i did get bad grades, should i put into my application that i took these classes during the summer??

I am a high school junior. Obviously, I’ve been looking for scholarships and financial aid for when it is time for me to go to college. Does anyone know how soon I should start applying for scholarships? I think right now is a bit early, since I wont be starting college until August 2010, but I don’t know when exactly is the right time to start applying for scholarships.

hat universities can I get into? ACT 28? GPA–extra curriculars
Question Details:So I’m a junior this year- and i was wondering what schools I could possibly get into with these scores?
ACT: 28
AP/Honors Classes: Modern Euro AP, Psych AP, Bio AP, Music Theory AP, Chem H
Extra curriculars:
Private Violin Lessons, MYA(Midwest Young Artsts Symph. Orch), Pit Orchestra (Soph./Jun), Track &Field (Fresh/Soph), Model UN(Fresh/Soph/Jun), Math Team (Fresh/Soph), Piano lessons(Fresh/Soph), Officer Position in Orchestra (Soph/Junior Year), Volunteer Program-20 hours a week for the the summer (Currently-Junior summer), 2 mission trips, Community Service (50 hours so far)

I was thinking of these schools:
DePaul University
Loyola University- Chicago
University fo Illinois-Urbana Champaigne
University of Illinois- Chicago
University of Wisconsin- Madison
University of Washington- Seattle
University of California- Santa Barbara
St. Louis University-Missourri
Michigan State University
Boston University

Which one of these would I get into? Any other additional schools in mind?

I want it to be a school that is not too expensive, yet has a good reputation. Also, how can I find out about the submission deadlines if I want to apply for the MBA program?
I have not taken the GMAT so far and only have very little work experience. So far I am thinking of entrepreneurship, but I haven’t made up my mind completely.

Junior
GPA: 3.25-3.5
ACT: 29 but by the time I take it in February it should be at least 31. I’m almost certain.
I have done all Honours classes except 4 which are AP classes. My only AP test last year (World History) I got a 5. I have APgov, Lit, and UShist. Next year I am doing APpsych, economics, and stats. If I have time I will take college accounting and also college finance.

I haven’t decided what I want to major in yet, but its down to Business, Economics, or political science.

ECs
Political Action Club
Football- only freshman year
Swimming- will do all four years
Water Polo- will have 4 years. All conference as sophomore and probably will be as a junior and senior. Also I will be a captain as a junior and senior.

I realize that plenty of other people have similar accomplishments and that this may not impress higher level colleges, but what can I shoot for?
If you can, please include a few colleges and reasons why they’d be good. Thanks guys. If you want I’ll try to answer any questions you have posted.

Additional Details
I live in Illinois.
Of my three preferred majours, I would most like to pursue political science.
I want to go somewhere near Chicago or in Wisconsin.

For those of you who have been through the college application process, should I involve my parents in the applying process and have them look over my shoulder and stuff when I’m applying for college or should I do it myself? I have gotten into a few arguments with them about it and they think they should be involved and help me while I apply online for the colleges I have chosen to apply to.

Online education provides students with more than one option to pursue their college degree. But, as a parent, should you consider this option for your children to earn a college degree online?

Yes and no, depending on a few important factors. Although online education is getting more popular today, it may not be a right option for everyone. As a parent, you should assess your children learning’s behavior to see whether they are the right candidates to be a success online student. So, when considering online college degree for you children, assess through the factors below before making your decision:

1. Self-motivation

Self-motivation is the key success factor for an online student. If your children are good at motivating themselves to complete pre-assigned tasks, then you may consider letting them to pursue their college degree online. Most online courses involve a lot of self-planning, so if the students are good at self-motivation, they will be able to motivate themselves to work toward the completion of the degree program. If you find your children need somebody to look at their back and push them to meet the deadline, then traditional campus-based college program should be their better option.

2. Written communication

As most learning materials are in text format and students need to communicate with lecturers and other students mostly through written communication, your children should be good in reading, writing and communicate in this format. If they prefer to learning by listening than by reading the text, then selecting online college degree may not be a right decision.

3. Comfortable to access in online environment

Do your children like to surf internet? Do they enjoy using online applications such as online chat, online forum, online/network gaming, etc? If access to internet and stay online is part of their life, then your children are comfortable to access in online environment. Therefore, letting them to pursue a college degree online should be no problem as they are familiar with the internet applications, enabling them to learn & use the online learning system without any problem.

4. The ease of getting financial aids

Although there are scholarships, loan and other types of financial aids being offered to online students, but there are much less opportunities if compares to campus-based students. So, if you want to consider an online college degree for your children and you need financial aids to support their study, then you have to make sure the college you are considering the online degree program does offer financial aids to their students and your children are qualified to apply.

Summary

Online education is a good option for your children to pursue their college degree, but you should only consider this option if your children are the right candidates to be a success online student.
