Iowa, USA

It feels irresponsible to go to a more "prestigious" school that costs three times as much money if it wouldn't look much better on an application. #collegedecisions

I was advised to email the music professor who would be in charge of my studio and begin developing a relationship with him before he sees my audition because it would increase my chances of being accepted. In theory, this sounds logical, but does it work? Ethics aside.

I was really excited to go and we spent a lot of time and money on visits and making arrangements in case I was accepted. Now I didn't even make it through the first round of applicants. I don't know how to bring it up to my parents without making it sound like it isn't a big deal....

I want to know if I can lessen my course load. If I can use the education part of my Bachelors of Music and apply it to my Spanish degree, then that would do that. #foreign-languages #education #music-education #spanishmajor #spanish-education #dualmajor

I am deciding between University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa. At the University of Iowa they have a great performance program but Northern Iowa is known for their outstanding teacher education program. #music-performance #choir #vocalmusic #hawkeye #panther #music-education

My DACA expires in two years, my mother is applying for citizenship sometime relatively soon but we are not sure how long that process will take and by that time my DACA may be expired and I'll be extremely limited on what graduate schools and or med schools I can apply to. #medicine #DACA...

I'm interested in running for public office someday, and I'm just curious about the logistics behind it. To be a local state representative, is there paperwork that needs to be done? How do you get backed by a political party? How do you announce that you're running? #politics #legislation...

I've heard the common phrase, "It's not what you know, it's who you know." So, when making connections for future internships and jobs, are large or small colleges better for this purpose? #connections #business #networking

I want to go into the medical field, so when I found the opportunity to do an internship at a local clinic, I just on the opportunity. I know it is good to have prior experience in a field but I am unsure what the actual benefits are. #internships #medicine #healthcare...

I was diagnosed with narcolepsy during the summer of 2017. Prior to my diagnosis, I was constantly falling asleep during class and while doing homework and was unable to focus. Although I am on medication, I am not sure how the stress and fast pace college life will be affected by it....

I'm looking forward to college and studying Biology (or Geology) and writing/communication. I'm gonna play music and two sports on the side, work a job, hang out with friends, and pretty much whale away at my future without a shred of a plan. Ok, so I'm kidding about that last part, but I...

I've always been interested in the sciences, and up until recently I was almost 100% sure I was going to go into microbiology and get a job with the US Navy medical division. That still sounds really interesting and cool, but I don't know if I want to spend the rest of my life staring at...

I want a position within the National Security arena. When my area of interest is in the National Security area I want to either prepare myself for a good career in business, without eliminating myself for a position with either the CIA (National Security) or FBI. #national-security #career...

I know the process is very selective and difficult. I want to be able to stand out among other candidates. #national-security #career
