here is my situation, im in college last year and want to go to uni to do zoology,
i cancelled my first ucas application courses and am ment to be going through ucas extra today
when i told my form teacher about choosing zoology she was saying how it wouldnt be a good corse for me i have no experience
i got an E in biology AS last year but have resat an exam which will bring the grade up im not an idiot and i know im capeable of a science course such as zoology (other grades in english and law where B and C) but i want a course that will interest me and i dont enjoy other subjects
i understand courses like zoology are competative in well reputated universities, but my form tutor brought over a science teacher saying i wont get in i have no experience, no where in any prospectus ive read or online does it say need experience to do the course
just says what ucas points i need
i dont have an A level in chemistry but thats just prefered not essential, and most unis offer a basic course in chemistry if you do zoology without it
whats stoppig me from applying ? i.e what will go against me ?

Okay, so… I am a high school student who moved from Texas to Ohio. its complicated why, but i was unable to enroll in a public school, so I’m taking a virtual high school. and they are being very unclear about the course work and how to do the whole thing! They don’t even have all the books i need. and I’m suppose to get a certain average for out of the whole year when I’ve only been here half of the semester! And i only have time to be working on Biology. They got the whole things screwed up, and i can’t have summer school because they are retarded! I’m suppose to be in Texas the entire summer. and I’m going to church camp with my boyfriend. I don’t know how to get all the work done that they expect me to do in time. i need to get organized. Any tips on how??

I am considering taking AP English in my junior year of high school.
Currently, I’m in English Honors with B+ first and second quarter and an A third quarter.
From what the teachers say, I don’t think I can handle it? Not too sure still. Teachers say you will not survive unless you have at least an A average the whole year. That really scares me. The valedictorian two years ago got a C in that class.
However, some people say it is not that bad of a class. Looking online and asking some other people, AP English isn’t too bad. However, the big thing is that I’m already taking two other AP classes, Biology and US History, and I’m not sure if I can handle those.
What are your experiences with this class and would you recommend I take the course next year?

I’m 15 years old and I don’t know what kind of career I should pursue. And I’m starting to panic about it.

I’m not really expecting anyone to read the ridiculously huge chunks of text coming up. I’m just trying to sort out the mess in my brain by putting it into words. (Last time I put this question in the career section and got a ton of advertising people, so…I’m not sure which section belongs in)

I’m in 9th grade, taking all Honors classes. My GPA is a 3.8. I’m taking the SAT II Subject test for Biology this June. I plan to take other AP tests, like AP Chinese, later in high school. My annual standarized test scores (STAR test scores, dunno if it’s different in other states) are usually good, I often get 600s. I’m a GATE1 student, meaning my IQ is supposedly over 140.

But I hate school…My school is suffocatingly competitive. I’m tired of competing with the girl who plays the piano and violin, is on the Debate and Badminton team, volunteers at a local museum, speaks 4 languages, and still manages a 4.0 GPA (I’m not exaggerating!). I routinely fall asleep studying…None of the subject matter is even remotely interesting to me. To get the grades I have, I have to try so hard I’m stressed out all the time.

People, teachers, classmates, parents volunteering, have been telling me since preschool that I should become an artist when I grow up. From a ridiculously young age I’ve been associating drawing with pleasure and praise. I don’t just like drawing…I feel like I’d die if I couldn’t. It’s like a stress reliever for me.

When I can’t draw, I feel anxious and my hands start shaking. I can’t really suppress the impulse to draw, even in the middle of taking tests! Some of the answer sheets I get back are comical — There are beautifully detailed drawings in the margins — The world map in front of me, the trashcan in the corner, the guy who sits in front of me, all of my teachers. And then you look further down the paper, and I didn’t have time to finish the last few problems.

I learn by trial and error. But I always improve a lot when I have the time to practice, like over breaks, just sketching whatever comes to mind, copying pictures from magazines, or speed-drawing with 30-second online pose generators. I look at my drawings a month or two apart, and it looks like they were done by two different people. If I spent less time on my studies, I think I could easily be as good as a professional artist. It’s my dream to go to some sort of art school after graduating.

I know it’s a really, really bad idea to become an artist. I know probably 90% of them starve on the streets and die in misery. Even many great artists aren’t appreciated until they’re already dead. Then their works sell for millions, but of course it makes no difference to the already-dead artists. It’s a cruel world. Following my bliss could be the end of me.

But what discourages me even more than that is my dad.
He’s a Stanford graduate who makes missiles for the government. He tells me to study more or I’ll be like my older sister (who’s becoming a doctor) who "ONLY" got accepted my Berkeley, UCLA, and UC Davis. He made me study 4 hours a day on spring BREAK. Quote: "Good thing there’s Stress-free week, then you can study for the SAT." He gave me a lecture when I was in elementary school about how I should read nonfiction books instead of fiction because I’ll actually learn from them.

He’s threatened that if I don’t choose a career path soon, he’ll choose one for me himself. He will be REALLY angry if I say I want to be an artist. I’m afraid he’d hit me.

I don’t know what to do. It’s smartest for me to just forget about art and become an accountant or doctor or something…Maybe just a little art in my spare time, but definitely not for a living. But my heart isn’t attached to my brain. Irrationally, I still want to become an artist. I don’t know why I’m crying, this is stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, STUPID

If there’s still anyone who’s still there after reading my ridiculously long question, I would like some serious advice. Talk some sense into me. Please. I really don’t know what to do.

Thank you, and please have a nicer day than I did.
Yeah, as I stated from the beginning, I didn’t expect anyone to read all of that. And most of you didn’t. Thank you, the few of you who did!

And…I’m pretty amazed that someone thought my endless run-on question was INTERESTING o.o

Hmm…So I should either
a) become an artist and be poor but happy
or
b) don’t think about it because I’m young…

I don’t know if I have been getting good grades in my classes. i know others will think that they are good its just that I really dont think that they are really that good.

These are my grades from the first quater to now which is the first day of the fourth

Algebra I – 96, 100, 95
Biology – cant find the 1st quarter grade but here are the 2nd & 3rd, 94 & 96
Earth and Space – 94, 95, 88
Humanities (Honors Eng. & Hist.) – 86, 92, 93
Research Writing (Half year course) – 96, 98

I see my friends being in all honors classes (except for language) and having better grades then me.

What would be my GPA so far for the year because we get our report cards online now and it doesnt give us the GPA or class rank.

I feel like I really made the biggest mistake of my life freshman year of high school and I am so dissapointed in myself for doing this because I am very intelligent and I screwed my life up. Last year I failed Algebra 1 and due to that I have I am taking it right now my sophomore year.

I am a sophomore in high school now and I am now in a different state and different county and at my old school freshmans did not take history and now I come to this new school and I find out that freshmans here do take history so now I am not only behind in Alegbra 1 but now I am also behind in World 1 History. Also, my freshman year I took earth science and now I come here and I am taking Biology 1 when I am supposed to be in Chemistry I feel extremely left behind and out of place and I don’t know what to do honestly this worries me so much I can’t sleep at night and I am constantly thinking about my life and my career, What do I do? I am behind and I am aiming not for the standard diploma but for the Advanced Diploma.

I am behind in 3 classes (Algebra, World History 1, and Biology) how can I make these up? In VA the online courses are 0 per course and that is out of my range. How can I make up these credits? I really need it made up by junior year so that I could be on track and in AP classes all by 11th grade. Is that possible?

I KNOW THAT I CAN HANDLE AND WORK REALLY HARD if i get to ap classes by junior year but can I make all the courses I failed freshman year over the summer or maybe even now? I would do anything literally just to get back on track I really need this.
Thank you guys so much for your help, by the way for the summer I go to my father in Southern California, are there any summer courses I could take there to make up my Chemistry and Geometry so that I could be on track by 11th grade? and maybe be in Advanced (AP) classes?

I am in the 10th grade in high school. I took algebra I in 8th grade, skipping pre-algebra, and I took Biology last year, skipping Physical Science. I am already 2 classes ahead of most in my grade. I have been looking into taking online high school courses so that next year can be my senior year, meaning I could graduate at the end of next year. When we called to ask my guidance counselor for more information on courses I should take, she informed us that our principal isn’t allowing early graduation because she "Feels we will be missing out on too much." Is this really her decision? Should we inform the school board? Is there any way around this other than moving to a different school?
Thanks in advance,
Brennan

So yahoo, what’s the deal? I’ve considered taking math in the summer but my mom says my time would be better spent doing something I enjoy (i.e, taking a film editing class, festivals, clubs, job, etc..).

So, how will this lack of math play in the end?
That’s comforting, but I want to know if this is going to affect chances at the Ivies.

I didn’t go to school at ALL during primary/middle (seriously), but for some odd reason I’m managing decent HS grades.

btw – essay = 10/10

Recs = 10/10

E.C = lacking in volume, but will revolve around a single field (which I hear demonstrates genuine interest instead of busy-body).

I’m just super concerned about my math. I need the truth!! I feel ashamed when I get the "4.0" GPA awards since I’m taking 2 remedial classes (though I never failed SP 1)…is that normal? My cousins are at Yale and Brown….

Oh yeah, how is that foreign language going to play out? Will that hurt?

Will there be an option to say *no electives offered in middle school* and *brother had mental breakdown freshman year, impeded with studies* on applications??

Getting ready for MCAT?

A bit overwhelmed with MCAT subjects?

For many, biology might be an easier subject to manage. MCAT Physics? It is a tough cookie to bite. Did I mention math? Or Problem solving?

Let me go straight to the point. How does one prepare MCAT physics for the physics-phobia – the easy way?

The answer is … two words – “Rapid Learning”. Prepare your MCAT physics the rapid learning way.

Let me just reveal the MCAT physics success formula:
Physics Success = Core Concepts + Problem Solving + Super Review
That is! It is easy as 1-2-3, but how?

Rapid Learning System uses the three components above with rich-media with focus on concept understanding and problem solving. The MCAT Physics course has 24x rich-media videos, 24x problem drills and 24x cheat sheets.

This visual 24-hour series enables you to master MCAT Physics in 24 hours, one chapter at a time, one hour per chapter with total of 24 chapters in the course. It takes 30 minutes for the video, 20 minutes for the drill and another 10 minutes for the super review cheatsheet. There you have it, the Rapid Learning MCAT Physics.

Instead of combing through the web and get confused, here is an easy 3-step to master physics powerfully via online rich-media physics learning:

Step 1: Study all the core concepts and learn how to solve problem step by step via rich-media video tutorial.

Step 2: Practice the problem solving with the game-based interactive drill

Step 3: Super Review the summary cheatsheet.

Learn to visualize physics via rapid learning and ace your MCAT exam!

Empower yourself to prepare MCAT powerfully with Rapid Learning. Get your MCAT edge with the rapid learning course – “Teach Yourself MCAT Physics Visually in 24 Hours”. Check it out at Rapid Learning Center – MCAT Physics http://www.rapidlearningcenter.com/mcat/physics/mcat_physics.html

I started to pursue the health field in High School where I took Vocational Classes for Medical, Dental and Nursing. At the end of the first quarter, we were to select the one we wanted to stay in. I started in Medical and transferred to Health. Graduated and became a CNA. I had since then moved out of that career path and took a office job that paid more money at the time and have been in administrative work ever since.

My real passion is to work in the health field again. My interests are Ultrasound tech or Radiology Tech. I didnt pay close attention to the classes required in school needed for if I were to go to college (which I didnt). I only took academic biology in school and dont remember what my grade was.

I am looking for a local college to find out the details on taking courses required prior to the actual UT or RT classes. I have no idea where to start or what all I would need to do prior.

I read online info from a local community college that said I would have to take a biology and chem or allied health, etc.

Any info would be VERY helpful on which path I need to go and who is or has worked in this field. THANKS
I knew at one time all the medical terminology and still have my health and medical books from school. However, I know I have a lot more to learn. I am a mom of 2 and work full time. I plan on obtaining my degree for this over the course of a couple years to make it work.
I only took Academic Biology in High School, I did not take Chemistry.

How do I take those courses at a college prior?

So here’s the story:
I’m 16, in the ninth grade, supposed to be in tenth. I failed ninth grade because I used homeschooling as a way to quit underage, then changed my mind about quitting and returned to school this year. By the way, I reside in Alabama if this helps.

So now the question:
Is there any way I can take online courses or any other type of course to get myself back into the correct grade? I know i can take online electives or take them at a college, but more importantly the core four classes. I want to take the following tenth grade classes:
10th grade English
10th grade History
10th grade Science
10th grade Math

I am taking a full Algebra 1 class this year which covers one and two. I am taking Biology, World History [a second year of it], and ninth grade English and Literature.

If anybody could help me with this, then your gratitude will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Jared

I have a big dilemma in my hands. It turns out that I don’t know what to do with my life. I am currently going to a college, but I have had no luck in picking a major I can stick with. I currently cannot even visualize a future for myself anymore.

I graduated from a technical high school, with concentrations in Media Communications and Graphic Design. I know 2 languages and I would love to learn more. I tried taking a linguistic route to my education, but I would not find a job very easily in that field where I live.

I am very creative and can follow directions really easily. I was a Boy Scout and Senior Patrol leader for my troop for 4 years. I was a life scout (1 before eagle) by the time I turned 18. I reached the other ranking in less than 2 and a half years.

I have difficulties with math and sciences, especially math. I have not taken a math course since sophomore year in high school and even pre-calculus is beyond understanding. Same thing goes for science, whereas basic chemistry is incomprehensible. I extend my art to my writ ting as well, but anything past a 5 page paper becomes redundant.

I have a hard time focusing on things I don’t enjoy and procrastinate like there is no tomorrow. Also, I have horrid studying habits.

I know that I should go directly to a counselor for this, but I already have. Even with his help, we cannot pin-point something of interest that can seem like a viable career in my area. So I come to yahoo.

Here is the information that I would like help on answering and things that might help you answer my questions.

What should I major in?
What should my career be?
Where can I find help online for my problem?
How can I improve my studying habits and end my procrastination?

Gender ,age and race: Male, 18, Hispanic (Puerto Rican).
Area of residence and college attending: St. John Fisher College, Rochester NY.
Previous majors and reasons for leaving them:

Nursing – Did not see myself being a Nurse
Biology Education – Math and Science issue.
Modern Languages and Cultures – Major in spanish (Native tongue). Cannot see where I can find a stable job in the area.

If there is anything else you might need to help me answer these questions, send me a message and I’ll be glad to help you help me.

I’ve tried finding an online forum to post these in, but I can’t find one with enough relevant information and users….so I’m hoping someone on here can assist.

Alright, so I’m going to be blunt here….I was a pretty bad student for my first two years of college. I’m currently in my junior year now working on a degree in Liberal Arts (officially). I suppose I could change my major whenever I want…but that’s not really what this is about.

My current GPA is under 3.0. When I graduate, it MIGHT barely be at or above 3.0. this, of course, will make it difficult to be accepted into most medical schools from what I understand.

Now, the thing is, my grades over the summer and this semester have been impeccable…also, all my grades in health-related fields have been A’s (granted, its only Developmental Psychology and Biology 201 w/ lab). I am interested in the health field and already scheduled two classes that are considered prerequisites at most schools for next semester (Microbiology and Genetics).

My main issue is, I don’t really know how things are going to play out. I am a poor college student…and Medical school is EXTREMELY expensive. PA school is less expensive, but also less appealing to me. While I wouldn’t mind working under the supervision of a licensed physician, I would especially enjoy the more challenging cases associated with an MD or a DO.

I currently attend Penn State University. I am looking for guidance both on the application process:
Who should I get to write letters of recommendation?
For PA school, it normally lists 200-500 hours of patient-contact health care experience as a prerequisite for applying. How do you get that kind of experience?
What sorts of things are schools looking for in the essay? Like I’m assuming they don’t want to just read another well-written "I want to be a doctor to help people" essay.

…and on my abilities to get into a medical school or PA program. I’m looking for recommendations in or close to Pennsylvania of schools that would be reasonable for me to consider.

In addition, I’ve had the following questions:
How likely is it that a hard-working individual with a GPA <3.0 would even get an interview at a decent Medical School?
How difficult are the MCATs? What about the GREs? Some PA schools require the GRE.

Thanks for any help in advance!

I am a student in middle school, I ended last trimester with a 3.8 GPA. That is extremely good from where I am. I try my best in school, make it into honors classes year after year. I come home from school, do whatever I want for an hour, and then sit down to do homework around 5 pm. I study until i go to bed which is normally around 11 pm to 12 am.
Anyways, there is a big trip that my classmates are taking. Next year, on spring break, I am hoping to go to Florida with them. They will be staying in Florida Keys and the Everglades.
There they will be able to: (straight as it says on the paper,)
"Traveling with classmates and lifelong memories are only part of the fun waiting for us on this program. We will investigate ecology, conservation methods, ecosystems, and wildlife biology through personal, hands-on, real life encounters. Our program will include extraordinary activities at amazing locations: swimming with dolphins and kayaking in the Florida Keys, exploring the Everglades – the only ecosystem of its own kind in the workd, and a snorkeling expedition in the largest coral reef in the United States, off the coast of the Florida Keys."

Let me tell you that I personally think this will be a fun experience to go with friends.

I live in California, so I guess it is pretty pricy, but it’s worth it.
All together, it costs ,927.
This price includes:
-Round trip airfare
-Sightseeing transportation
-Course Leader
-Quality hotel accommodations
-Night chaperones in hotel
-All meals
-All admissions fees
-Evening activities
-Accident/health insurance
-Field journals
-Online educational support
-24-hour Emergency Support

I think this is a good deal, seeing as we will be there for 4 nights and 5 days.
What do you think about this; should I even bother asking my parents again? I really want to go and money isn’t the issue.
Thank you for your time; please only well-thought out answers; no rude comments. =]
I know that money isn’t the issue, but how do I talk my parents into letting me go?
I already agreed to let my sister come along (she is an adult) and I think it will be fun with her, so I’m not worried about that, but my parents are difficult to talk into anything.

I’m currently a high school senior who wishes to go to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee to study pre-medicine. I’ve decided that this is what career field I want to enter. Our high school offers only 2 biology classes and no anatomy or physiology. To get involved and learn a little more, I also am the student trainer for both the football and basketball teams, and I also volunteer at a local physical therapy clinic and at the ER in our hospital. Through that, I’ve taught myself basic anatomy.

However, I just can’t learn enough fast enough. Are there any books I can look at (preferably cheap or online) that can teach some of the inner workings of the human body? Any other things I can get into that will give me a good crash course in medicine?

Ok so I;m a sophomore in high school and for the last few months ive developed a big crush on this cute asian school who is in my grade and in all of my Honors/ AP classes. she’s really creative, compassionate, kind, and quite introspective. She’s a brilliant artist and I talk with her a lot during lunch and on AIM/ facebook. although we’re also surrounded by other friends, so it isnt really intimate conversations, however a few times ive had AIM sessions with her where for brief moments we’ll share our thoughts on life and it seems as if for those brief windows of time that we truly make a connection. Again, she’s pretty introverted so it’s pretty difficult to determine whether or not she has a crush on me. However, I did see some of her artwork on a website that is an anime version of a boy. on her comments of the photo she said that it was inspired by a boy. She posted that video last year, when i had biology Honors with her but hardly knew her at the time. In her painting, the guy is ptetty handsome, he has glasses- like i do; he’s wearing a collored shirt- like I did last year, and a watch- like i have. she also hinted that she is in a class with the person which the painting refers to. alas, she did not drop a name so hence i have no way of determining whether she has a crush on me or someone else.
So i guess that my question is: what should i do to form a strong relationship with her and share my feelings about her? I mean, i dont want to ruin our friendship by coming on too strongly, but then again i want her to know how i feel about her. hmm life can be so confusing and utterly bewildering sometimes. *sigh*, i dont know- i mean of course ive looked at her fb profile and blogs to see if i could find any clues. so far i know she likes intelligence in a guy, which she obviously knows i have. But for the most part i have no idea how to share my feelings with her without demolishing our friendship. Well, I really have gratifude for anyone who has taken the time to read my entire question and put effort into solving my issue that they shouldnt have to worry about in the first place. im sorry for that… but i would appreciate any help you could give.

And yesterday she showed me her online gallery of pictures she has made involving some really awesome drawings. i told her my feelings about the pics, in other words i told her they were beautiful and creative. then we started talking about some phylosophical stuff and it turns out we have a lot of the same interests and ideas and she was really excited about that.

So, I found out that this year in biology, my class has to dissect rats. The thing is…I can’t do it. I know where the rats come from, how they were killed, etc. It’s not that the dissecting grosses me out, it’s that I know what animal went through, just so we can dissect it.

My Dad and I were at dinner last night, and I brought up the topic of how my grade has to dissect rats this year, and how most people asked me if I was gonna do it. And my Dad said, "Well of course you’re gonna do it!"

The thing is, I really can’t. I seriously think I will get sick if I had to do it. But, how do I get out of it? Do I re talk to my Dad, go straight to my teacher, my principal, write a note? I need any suggestions. I’m willing to anything! An essay, online dissection, bookwork, anything! =/ Thanks!
What about my Dad…I can’t just go to my teacher without him knowing. I’d probably get in trouble…
I am 15 and live in Texas

Ok I understand my question is somewhat broad but that is what I am hoping from this post, broad open ended answers. Now I also understand that on top of high school I still need to do well in college and the MCAT and I want to let every one who responds to this post know that I understand the drastic an enormous undertaking that is usually implied when one brings up the profession involving a medical personnel. Now I give you a somewhat brief description of my motivation. At the age of 8 my grandfather was diagnosed with multiple blockages of the heart he was given the normal course of action as anyone else which was a four way heart bypass after his surgery he seemed to be doing well but two years later without any warning my grandfather died not of heart trouble as the doctors so assuringly described, No my grandfather who helped me through the toughest of times died on the week of Christmas of gall bladder failure. which had been festering in my grandfathers body well before my grandfathers heart problems had occured. Of course this is indescribably saddening to me,but I only ask that you respect my post and kindly request that my past only strengthen my passion to become a accredited physican. Ok now ever since that event in my life I have been overwhelmingly determined to in a way to correct a wrong that could have been fixed or in a another way be a doctor that is more caring and would step out and run the extra mile to find not only my patients obvious problems but also any other that another doctor may have missed or misdiagnosed this is not only the kind of person I am but the kind of doctor I wish to become. Still my only question is my gpa decent enough to get into college and what are my chances on getting into a medical school if I major in biology and plan on getting a 3.7 college gpa. Also if any one has the time could you reply with a detailed guide to becoming a doctor because I’ve looked at many of the online guides and honestly they weren’t that great and if you know a good website feel free to post those as well.
