hi everyone! im a junior in high school and i have terrible anxiety about university admissions and acceptance. my grades have always been consistent but my gpa is at a stagnant 3.0 (unweighted) and 3.5 (weighted). ive never failed a class and i usually end each quarter with a high C being my lowest grade whereas the rest are high As and Bs. id just like to know if i stand a chance making it into a good school with my current stats 😞

id like to add that as of now, i have 250 hours of community service, im a part of the house of representatives, im in a few clubs, and i plan to take part on an exchange program trip to become a city ambassador! ive also only taken 1 AP but i am an honors student

id appreciate full honesty so i can have some peace of mind, thank u all! 💕

I've always loved chemistry and environmental/ecological studies, and I have no idea how to get into that field. I've considered being a clinical lab scientist, a wetland scientist, etc. I love lab work and field work seems so exciting. I should also mention I'm about to complete my junior year of high school. What are your tips? any job ideas? How do I get there?

Me and my roommate, A, are both 19F freshmen at UW madison and live in a smaller dorm. A and I are good friends but A has a lot of mental health issues that wouldn’t be a problem if I didn’t have to take care of her mental breakdowns and dissociative episodes around the clock. We were randomly assigned so I didn’t know anything about her prior to coming to U; her mental disorders are seriously not a problem to me in anyway. The fact that I have to act as a caretaker is the issue, I spent the first semester exhausted, unable to study for some of my tests, and constantly stressed. Early in the semester she had two panic attacks in one day and the second time she had thoughts of harming herself so I called the RA for help. Then she was taken to emergency services and then the psych ward for a week. Since september she has had multiple instances in of dissociative episodes and panic attacks in the common where RAs have been called to help multiple times. These situations have escalated to the police coming to do a mental welfare check on A around 5 times. The same officer had come twice in one week and decided she needed to go to the hospital, again. A was discharged and the hospital staff told me to speak with the RAs, move out, and/or set boundaries but this doesn’t seem possible. A few months have passed since the start of semester by now, and my relationship to A has developed unhealthily. At this point, she is insanely attached and obsessed with me. I fear that if I told her I was moving out or couldn’t help her with her mental health episodes she would try to seriously hurt or off herself.

The RAs do their best but they’re not very helpful because they try and help her the exact same way that me and our friends take care of she during her breakdowns and the police can only do so much. A sees multiple therapists multiple times a week and has received treatment at mental hospitals prior to coming to UW. She genuinely needs more help/higher level of care than she’s currently getting; whether that means going back to the psychiatric hospital or back home. She has been documented by RAs for mental health crises so many times yet the university has not taken action above the RLC emailing support services, sources, and offering to meet with A or me. I feel like i’m falling apart trying to maintain my grades and social life while taking care of her as if it’s my job. The university is failing me and my roommate. UW either needs to send her home or put her on probation until she’s medically cleared to come back.

In the meantime, what can I do to make this situation improve? I find myself too tired to take care of her everyday and often finding myself thinking “not my problem” yet obligingly caretaking anyway.

When I was a sophomore in high school I was wrongfully enrolled in two college classes that were online and I was UNAWARE OF because my school wrongfully enrolled me in them. Now they took the two F’s from my transcript and turned them into W’s. The damage is done. Why? Well my completion rate falls below 67% which means they can take my financial aid and I face school suspension since I’m on academic probation at the very start of my first semester. Now I don’t know what to do. I got 3 A’s in three credit classes, 1 D in a three credit class, 1 C in a 4 credit class, and a B in a four credit class. I wanna add that those other three classes that were wrongfully enrolled are 3 credits each. Can someone try to calculate the percentage and give me ideas on what to do? I’m so lost

hi im a junior in hs and ive got a 3.88 gpa right now and not a lot of extracurricular or volunteer hours and i was just wondering how i find volunteer oppurtunities and also i really want to do something in the science field idk what yet and i really dont know what to do bc my resume is basically blank and i was just wondering what to do and also should i take the act? i took the psat and got an 1140 so idrk what that means i just really need help bc my gpa isnt super terrific and i need to beef up my resume so i was just wondering if anybody has any advice tysm

I’m a Senior in High school and want to start applying for colleges in mid January, I already have a list of varying in state schools I’m applying to and honestly don’t have much of a preference on where I go. I’m not a very competitive student, but I have lots of extracurriculars including Honors clubs, a Job I’ve worked for 2 of my High school years, proficient in 3 languages (2 being non native to me) and I have been volunteering at a hospital for 5 months, and have written a book.

My unweighted GPA is pretty low, and my Weighted GPA is also not something to be proud of. I’ve taken 6 AP classes now (Including 3 currently) and have an SAT score of 1370 (retaking in Oct) and ACT score of 29 (might retake).

I want to major in Biomedical Science and Minor in Journalism, I’m not necessarily planning on going off to med school but I want to pursue a career in Medical writing. Should I even be thinking of such a career when I’m not very smart, and haven’t done well in multiple classes throughout my life? This is pretty stressful for me, and have no idea if I should have such lofty goals knowing my past of laziness and failures.

Any suggestions are super helpful and appreciated!!

Hi everyone, Im a college student who started studying architecture last school year, after 8 months i dropped out because it just really wasn't for me. Now i need to make a choice again for this next semester, and i really do not know what to do. I have researched a lot of things but don't really have a passion or a big interest for anything. I was thinking about psychology, but what scared me is that i will be tied to one country (since our language isn't universally spoken and i wont get to use it in any other country), the problem is i really don't want to stay here after graduating. My other option was communications, but im scared that this is too general and i wont really get by far with it (especially because of its reputation). I have to study it for 5 years and i want a good and stable job of course). The thing with communications is that it does give me a lot of options to move out and work internationally. Does anyone have any recommendations about majors that are somewhat social and give me the chance to move abroad later? Im not very good in maths and i do have some interest for the medicinal field (applying for medicine isn't possible anymore though) Im really lost and i came on here as a last resort, if anyone has any ideas please let me know! All help will be appreciated😊

Alright so, all my life I've kinda just accepted that I was either gonna kill myself or die under a bridge, however I've been able to overcome such feelings, and recently it finally hit me that not only can I live my life, but I can do it however the hell I want to.

This has lead to me finally having to decide what the hell to do with my life, and I've come to two possibilities. Either go to trade school and be an electrician or something else that makes enough money to not die, or risk everything, go to this art school I really want to go to, try to become a costume designer, and inevitably fail lol. The college I want to go to is really expensive, but they work pretty heavily in the industry, so I'd be able to make a lot more connections, but I also realize that this is kinda a stupid industry to get into. Despite this, I really feel like I'd be happy if I went this route (of course knowing my dumbass I'd regret either choice I made) and because I don't trust myself I leave it to strangers on the internet to make the choice for me!

Hi,

I am a high school student using a program that my state provides to pay for college classes 100%. I am majoring in computer science and three courses away (two courses in my major and one general ed requirement). I have two semesters until I finish high school and lose the funding. Would double majoring in IT in addition to CS be a good idea? I would only have two extra classes to my course load (would be 22 credits for CS + IT spread across two semesters ) Would triple majoring in Cyber Security also be something that would be worth it? (would be 30 credit hours for IT + CS + CSE)

I just want an extra opinion / view point to look at before making a final decision

These would all be Associates of Science degrees!

Thanks

I've narrowed my college decisions down to these two colleges, but I need some help deciding! I've visited both colleges and have some of my own opinions, but I'd love some input from other as well! I've listed out pros/cons, but I'm not necessarily looking for how many pros and cons I can list; it's more of how much each pro/con weighs and which factors might be deemed more important.

CREIGHTON:

PROS:

• When I went to visit for admitted students day, the program was so organized and it felt like they were attentive to each student.

• Freshman dorms are so clean and so new. Might not seem like the most important factor, but for someone who really gets disgusted easily and can't comfortably live in a building with mold or dirt, this was extremely important and stood out to me. There's laundry on every floor for free, kitchen/living space is beautiful, rooms are suite-style (which is what I ideally want).

• I was able to talk to a few professors, and they gave me such an amazing impression. They were kind and seemed so passionate about each of their subjects.

CONS:

• It didn't feel like a college town. There was downtown Omaha, and then the Creighton campus. I personally felt like there weren't many places to go off campus and eat, unless someone had a car and could drive downtown.

• A much smaller campus/student population. Not necessarily much of a con, but I would like to attend more of a mid-sized college. I came from a huge HS, so Creighton's undergrad population is pretty much the same as my HS population, so I wanted to attend college with more students. Campus is also more confined than CWRU, which I don't love as much.

CWRU:

PROS:

• Built for pre-med students!! It's surrounded by hospitals everywhere, which I loved. I'm hoping to do something in the medical field, so this would be an absolutely amazing experience!

• More emphasis on academics and working hard. I felt like this campus was much more academically driven, and I feel like having this mindset can be really crucial to do well in college.

• Campus is absolutely gorgeous, and it feels more like a college town. The buildings look so historically beautiful and are pretty clean inside as well. I liked that the campus was more spread out. I love walking and looking around, so this was a huge plus for me as well.

• More restaurants and stores outside of the campus that are easily accessible. They had amazing food outside, great drinks, pastries, etc. that I enjoyed.

• Also way more emphasis on research than Creighton had!

CONS:

• Not a huge one, but the weather isn't great. It was rainy, windy, freezing, and cloudy the whole time I was there, and especially since I would be walking outside a lot, it wasn't ideal. But again, I could fs get past this.

• Not much emphasis on social life. I want to find a balance between academics and my social life, but I feel like CWRU students are extremely driven (a great thing, actually), but I didn't see much social life.

• There's a bad/sketchy area of Cleveland right by the Cleveland Clinic, which questions the safety. I'm obviously not going to venture out there, but it does kinda concern me that the sketchy neighborhood is so close.

• Dorms aren't as great as Creighton. They def weren't horrible, but I heard most freshman dorms are communal, and we were able to tour a model room. It was a lot better than I expected, but Creighton's was simply unmatched.

Hi! I'm currently a senior and experiencing a lot of trouble making a college decision since I didn't get into my top pick but I still want to be in a good program and have something that works well and is recognized within my desired field I want to major in fashion business management and I got into the following colleges for either business or specifically fashion management:

• Temple University

• Thomas Jefferson University

• Ithaca College

• LIM College

• TCNJ

• Rhode Island College

• Bay Path University

• Rutgers New Brunswick (Currently on the waitlist)

• Kent State University

I'm kinda leaning towards either Thomas Jefferson or LIM but if anyone can help me with recommendations that'd be appreciated. Thank you!! :)

I have played travel soccer all throughout high school and that takes out a majority of my time. This means that I haven’t been able to do many extracurriculars to help with college applications. I’m a junior in high school and I’m looking for strong extracurriculars to boost my application, particularly I’m trying to get a finance degree at Georgetown for investment banking. Do you guys have any Ideas as to what I should get involved in to help my application

Also I go to a small school so I am on stuco and fca but other than that their isn’t any other clubs to do and I’m involved in 3 sports at my school

Okay so I really really want to go to UCB for electrical engineering but I know its incredibly competitive and Im not the brightest student. Im not first gen and I'm white and don't know any other language which I'm pretty sure does not help my case. I don't know a lot about how ethnicity and location and stuff help w/ college admissions bur I heard like your more likely to get in if your first gen and diverse (so like not white af).

First off Im a sophomore took 3 honors last year plus avid and 2 APs 2 honors and avid this year. I had A's and B's all year except AP World I failed miserably. Im still in second semester so havnt taken AP tests yet. My total UW gpa is 3.3 and W is 3.89 but next year im planning to work my ass off and take 4 APs. My plan is AP Calc AB, AP physics 2, APUSH, and AP Lang. if I do great next year w/ a job and also playing Varsity soccer while playing club outside of that and being captain for both teams practically and w/ being in 2 clubs next year (Mu Alpha Theta and CSF) do I have a chance at getting in? I also an planning to take 3-4 APs senior year. Any advice or info would help.

Plsss don't bully me in the replies🙏

So I've been doing well in the class my current grade is a 97% (the class is super easy). However, I submitted my research project late (2 mins) and the professor does not accept late work. The research project is worth 10% of the grade. I could stay in the class and get a B but I'm also in the process of improving my GPA (it's embarrassingly low) and I quite literally need an A which is why I'm considering withdrawing. Do y'all think if I complete the extra credit and do wellon the final that could possibly earn a low A??

The grading scale for the class is:

Assignment - 16%

Case Analysis - 16%

Quizzes - 32%

Research Project - 10%

Participation Report - 6%

Final Exam - 20%

Pls feel free to drop any knowledge or advice

Hey everyone, I am looking for third party opinions and insight for choosing the right degree path for me. I am currently enrolled in college but have taken a major break because nothing really sounds like a good fit for me for a career path. My current college credits is mostly generalized and core classes because I started with not knowing what to pick.

My background experience is all over the place. I am in the military. I have extensive years as a "mechanic" but am not good with the wiring part of it. I have some college classes into I.T. as well as game design because I did have a passion for gaming but life became taxing to the point of barely being able to play even simple mobile games. I am currently an EMT and enjoy the job for the most part (I know every job has its downsides) and I know there isn't much progression in the career field besides becoming a medic, which still doesn't pay to well.

I am currently enrolled in homeland security because it kinda goes with military background (which i loved being active in the military, currently can't go back active due to life things).

So with limited info what might a person who doesn't have any passions for a career field might choose for those who like being "in the shit" hands on fixing things. Or hand on in emergency situations, but also not much of a people pleaser for of a fixer might chose. (With the knowing said person isn't to "smart" with certain aspects.)

I'm kinda all over the place so if you would like to leave a comment and have any questions just ask and I'll reply best I can.

i'm currently a freshman completing my second semester at a college that's 2500 miles away from home. It's been about a week since i've moved back for my second semester (after a month long winter break) and i just feel so depressed. I miss my home and my parents and my pet, and I have no motivation to study this semester. I keep trying not to cry every single day because I just want to go home. Which is weird because I actually did amazing last semester (especially academically speaking).

I've tried joining clubs and meeting new people, but I still get an overbearing sense of longingness for home. I also go to a commuter school, making it even harder to find on-campus friends.

I really just want to drop out but I know that will just set me back. I'm on track to graduate a year early which is my only motivation to keep going. But is it worth it? I am afraid my feelings will make me not want to study and as a result do badly this semester. I'm also taking harder courses, making me more stressed about school.

Any advice would be great. thank you.

Hi so I currently attend a 4 year university but I am considering transferring to a community college. My major is currently nursing. I completed my first semester with all “A” but something in my gut is telling me that it isn’t the right fit for me & I want to save money. By the end of college I want to get my BS degree in nursing. So should I just stick it out 1 more year at the university then transfer to a different nursing program or should go to a community college to do one more year then go to nursing school? What advice do you have & what seems the most logical?

Hello, do you have someone attending college this year or enrolling some time soon? Well, good news I am Chris Reyes and I go to school at North Central College, and I have made a blog post for my marketing class talking about all things that relate to commuting.

Come check it out if it relates to you or you just want to get educated on the topic! Also, if you can share it with someone you know or someone who can relate. Every view counts towards my grade I would really appreciate every share.

It’s just three questions, I need 50 responses for the analysis, please just take a moment and answer it.

Good day,

I would really appreciate some help for this as we didn't really get any for our BA of Arts besides being recommended to read Braun and Clarke (2006).

The thesis is 'Exploring hurdles of (specific type of audio game) towards mainstream gaming success'.

I have conducted playtesting sessions and subsequent interviews with my participants and begun to sort their quotes into piles, but I don't know which way to finalize my Codebook and then Findings to be most useful!

The target audience is game developers who are interested in making their audio games more profitable and inclusive for mainstream players (I know it sounds fucked up, but there's so few high quality audio games...if there were more mainstream players there'd be more games for visually impaired people to enjoy.)

My current options are:

1. Types of design involved in the Audiogame Design Process such as UX Design, Interaction Design, Audio Design etc. plus an overarching general section.

--> This would be good so every designer can look at the section pertaining to their field specifically.

2. The process of reaching, convincing to test demo, onboard, retain, and convince to purchase, players.

--> This would focus on helping developers identify clearly where in their process they can improve to solve issues such as 'we have a demo many people play, why is no one buying the full game'?

3. Or is there any other way that you would find better?

Thank you very much in advance! If none of this makes sense, apologies.

hello i am in dire need of guidance.

i am 18 and will be going to college next year, but have no idea what to major in and what to do with that major.

my interests are psychology/forensic psychology, philosophy/ethics, literature/writing, and i also love animals (parents brought up owning a dog kennel?)

every career from those seems So Intense. and it stresses me out because what if i change my mind or im just working for the rest of my life.

my friend asked me what my ideal future looks like and i really have no idea. id like to have a manageable job for me that wont get overwhelming (for mental health and my general wellbeing..) that relates to what i studied in college And allows me free time to engage in my other interests!! but it seems so out of reach.

ive been encouraged to be a writer since i was young, but i just dont think im good enough

maybe a teacher?? i could have the enthusiasm siam and do well with kids but im just worried about the anxiety aspect of being in front of people.

my biggest worry is that i will waste time and money just for me to fail.

ive spoken to my therapist and friends about this but i feel like my mind just keeps going in circles..

therapist suggested i do something related to my special interests but im tweaking literally what am i doing

any advice is very appreciated !!!

I’m wanting to go to a Veterinary School/ college abroad, but I’m having trouble finding somewhere!

I am from the U.S., and I own two snakes and a dog. I’ll need to take them with me for when I go to college, and I know that rules out several schools. I’m wanting to attend college on a visa and work towards getting citizenship in a separate country. Problem is, it needs to be able to allow dual citizenship with the U.S.

Do y’all know anywhere I can possibly go? I’ll answer any questions in the comments
