If I were to apply early somewhere (with a binding agreement) and then accepted, would I have the opportunity to turn them down if it turns out I can't afford it? What's the protocol?

I'm afraid I'll be matched with someone really annoying in college. Will there be opportunity to switch rooms? What other ways could I manage this situation?

My high school teachers play the fear mongering card every time we incorrectly staple something or use a purple vs a blue or black pen. Will this result in a terrible punishment in college as all my teachers say?

I'm looking to go into physics/astrophysics, but I'm also an avid theatrical actor. Are there any universities that are strong in both?

I feel like it could be useful, but I'm not sure. If so, what's the recommended length? How would it work with an online/Skype interview?

I'd like to get more involved in the political aspect of life, and particularly science advocacy. What are some things I can do as a student that might make a difference?

I'm a bit unsure as to the exact style in which admissions are expecting essays. I was told to make them both personal and professional, but I'm not quite sure how to integrate the two. One person said I should avoid contractions at all costs and another said it is most important that the...

I really don't have enough time to schedule all my college interviews before early deadlines. Can I schedule them after I've submitted my applications?

I am a junior in college studying psychology. I plan to go to graduate school to attain a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. I have heard people say that it is very difficult to get into clinical psychology programs as a student right out of college because they want their students to have some...

A friend is concerned about choosing the right college when the time comes. There's a conception that the best premed programs feed into the best med schools feed into the best residencies, etc. and if you don't jump on the bandwagon immediately you're done for. Any advice to offer? #college...

Genetics is an interesting topic to work with.

I want to know the challenges about genetic counseling. #clinical-psychology #genetics

It seems most advertising/media features people with bodies that don't represent the general public. I know every person is different, but one body type seems to be the dominant factor. For women and girls, the media believes they should be thin and pretty. For men and boys, they need to be...

In college, that is. #college #college-major #money #college-bound #money-management #expense-management

I'm currently interning within a research program. Just curious if I can ask the professor who accepted me for a college recommendation, or if they're typically only written by one's teachers. #college #teaching #teacher #professor #college-bound #recommendation

It's often the case that I know all the material for a certain class, but do not have enough time for the test to showcase my knowledge. How do I get faster without sacrificing accuracy? #student #studying-tips #testing

Some of my classmates struggle with concepts I'm familiar with. I'd easily be able to help them, but don't want to seem too forward. What's the best way to offer assistance without coming off as condescending or otherwise? #teaching #student #university-teaching #tutoring #peer-tutoring

Considering a double major. Considering. As a person double-majoring, do you have time for anything else? #college-major #majors #college-majors #double-major #extracurriculars #choosing-a-major

Simple curiosity. #teaching #professor #teacher-training

Junior year is fast approaching, and I've been having trouble with sleep. Not getting to sleep, no, but waking up. During the school year in particular, if I am tired I will drop dead asleep. No exceptions. This often leaves work unfinished and/or causes lateness the following morning. How do I...

This is namely geared towards professors/researchers. Not sure why it would be, but I've heard conflicting rumors.

I do not plan on attempting to place out of Physics 100 in college (every person I've encountered on visits has dissuaded me for some very good reasons). Though I am curious as to how helpful AP physics will be/how much of the same material will be covered. Can't seem to tell from course...

Considering that this is a likely profession for what I am interested in, what is your experience being a professor? Has living on/near campus and teaching kids been worth it? I'm particularly interested in research. #professor #research

This has been bugging me. #college-major #professor #phd #science-phd

I'm in high school and currently pursuing astrophysics. I've been involved in some programs and internships and I think research is what I want to do. Most people tell me the only jobs in this field are university professors, NASA paper-pushers, and Bill Nye. Is it possible to have a job...

I understand that it often depends on where it is being distributed. However, I seem to have too much pertinent information to fit on a single page. In general, is it better to include diverse aspects of your being, or focalize around that field in which you are interested? #resume...

I am interested in pursuing astrophysics and computer science. The colleges I'm looking at with appealing programs in those fields range from CalTech to Penn State. If it does come down to a decision, what is your opinion on larger vs. smaller institutions? The former tends to have better...

I am majoring in economics but also interested in potentially going to law school after my undergraduate. #law #econ

I am going to Fordham University and starting in the fall 2016 semester. I am majoring in economics and looking for potential careers after college. #busines #econ

I like biology and chemistry but am not sure how I want to incorporate this into a medical career. #medicine #biology #chemistry
