When applying to UC schools in California, what GPA do the schools look at (i.e. scholastic, weighted, unweighted, etc), because I want to be prepared to take the right classes?

I get really nervous before a job interview and feel like I may come across as less confident because of my nerves.

I sometimes find it difficult to figure out the best way to study for exams and tests. I feel that no matter how much time I give myself or how early I start studying, I still don't feel as confident as I would like to.

I'm open to answers from both fellow students and former students for this question! I'm currently taking a literature class, and I absolutely love it, but that's in regards to all the novels on our reading syllabus being outstanding reads and my own innate passion for literature. When it comes...

Rather than being one or the other, I'm wondering if you can be both. I'm aware that each type of editor has a different skill set; however, I love the idea of doing both types of editing and I wouldn't want to limit myself to one type. Plus, wouldn't the flexibility of being able to do either...

The veterinary field is a great interest for me so knowing some extra information beforehand seemed like a good idea. Plus i wanted to know what the work load is like for someone in pursuit of this career whether in college (undergraduate,graduate) or already working within the veterinary...

In the future i hope to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and was interested in what they do on a daily basis or what a day for them would look like. Also what makes them stick with the job and causes them to love it. Since it takes years to be able to work as a vet, i wanted to know if...

I'm a third year computer science major, and I've been trying to learn more about data science/big data/machine learning. There aren't any classes offered at the college that I'm attending that cover these topics, and I'm a little lost as to how I would get started in any of these fields. What...

For those who are in the engineering work force, where do you all live? Do most engineers live in major cities, or more in the suburbs? I don't really want to live in a big city, but I am worried that that will hinder my choices at getting a job, at least a first job. Do any of you all live in...

I will be attending college as an engineering major, and I don't know if I want to pursue a graduate degree or not. I was wondering what percentage of the engineering work force only has undergraduate degrees and what percentage has graduate degrees. How significant is the job difference...

I've heard that applying to architecture schools is really competitive. I've looked up some sample portfolios online, and they're always so amazing! I think of myself as an artistic person, but I don't think my art skills are phenomenal. If I don't have fantastic art pieces for my portfolio,...

I'm asking this question because I'm interested in studying architecture in college and maybe making it my career. Before I do decide, I just want to know the difficulties of being an architect and see if it is for me.

My dream career is to be a fiction author, but I know it's not really a financially-stable career, so I've been thinking of being an editor because I really, really love editing writing. I think I have an eye for it since I've always been the one that my peers come to for proofreading and...

I'm not in college yet, so it might be a little early for me to be asking, but I'd really like to be a copy editor for books and I was wondering if I could get an internship at a publishing company in the future, to scope out the environment and get more experience with the job. Will I have...

Aside of having my first job interview, it was a phone interview. It was intense.

I understand that majors in animal science are helpful, but are degrees like biology, zoology, and wildlife biology acceptable?

Some websites do offer "scholarship matches," but they skip some that you do qualify for, and it's difficult to sort through hundreds just to find one or two you qualify for.

I am psychologically set on furthering my education out of my home state at a four-year university, but is there any disadvantages in doing this besides out-of-state tuition? Advantages? #university #career-path #workforce-planning #college-advice #college-choice

I want to major in Nuclear Medicine and become a doctor/physician in the field, but I'm unsure if it's worth taking a large student loan for med school. My family isn't the wealthiest and I do not desire to spend my parents' money on anything past a four-year university. I'm willing to work...

I don't know what to do after I obtain my degree. Finding a job would be ideal, but where do I start? Should I already be in touch with companies or should I simply apply to some? Should I find a job to keep income steady while I search for the position I desire? I have many questions such as...

I go back and forth in what my first steps should be in becoming a Physical a Therapist. Volunteer at hospitals and private practices or shadow athletic trainers and physical therapists.

There are certain artists I look up to (#JimiHendrix, #TheWho, #TheDoors, #TheBeatles, etc.) that have certain techniques in their playing. Whether it's musical knowledge or just their natural ability on the instrument, these guys differ from everyone else. I already mimic them when I...

I've always enjoyed video games and writing stories, I wanted to know if i need to get a degree in programming in order to write the story for a video game. I'm in 12th grade and I already know what I want to do when I go to college. If a degree is needed to write a story for a video game what...

Recently, I have learned about different programs that are offered to students in my community, that I have never heard of before, until now. With this realization, I'd like to know how to be able to get informed if there are other programs or clubs that I'd be able to participate in. Not only...

As I get closer to going to college, I have decided that I'd like to work in the medical field. As a result, I have researched different specialties that are offered in order to become a doctor, but since there are so many, I do not know which one would be the best for me. As of right now, my...

I've enjoyed writing stories since the ninth grade and I enjoy playing video games. I just wanted to know how hard is it to become a story writer for video games? do i need a major in programming in it or can I just come up with a story while others do the programming part? #video-games

I’m in many high level classes with a high GPA and I feel a pressure to jump on the bandwagon to a university. But is it worth that? I am thinking about going to my local college and then transferring to a university, but is that a waste of my talents? #university #college #college-transfer...

I don't know yet if I want to go into practice or research so I don't know what type of degree to get. can I do research with an MD so thats safer? or do I need an MD/PH.D to do both? #degrees #research #neuroscience

I've talked to multiple professionals and some say its required and others say if you want to do both always start at research. So I'm confused. Because it would change the type of education I need. #research #neuroscience #science #biology

I want to serve a mission for church (I can only go once I'm 19) but I want to be able to still get a Ph.D or MD #research #LDS

I'm curious to hear what people who've applied to universities via early admissions have to say about being committed. I worry about getting a better offer, possibly with more scholarship money offered, that would've been a better choice but I won't be able to accept. #earlyadmissions #college...

I really enjoy art and writing, I just don't think I could make a stable career out of either. I'm alright at computer science and programming, which has many job opportunities, especially since it's what everyone's turning to now, but it's not something I love or would enjoy learning. Do I...

I've heard that college is about a lot more than the education aspect, that it's learning to live on your own and explore yourself as a person. Also, the majority of people end up switching majors anyway while still in college, so I'm wondering what should be weighed more: the university as a...

I was recently told by my parents that a degree in library science would be vastly impressive in the workforce, but I'm still not sure if it's something that I'd want to spend money on studying in college.

One of my friends said that I only need to send in my scores to one cal state. I am unsure if this is true. #school #education #stressed

I am applying to several colleges and want to know if work-study or getting a job off campus is better. #education #workstudy #financial-aid #college #federal-work-study

It took me a few years to find out what I wanted to study in college while I was at a community college, taking a lot of different classes to see what interests me the most. I really liked mass communication classes and found out about public relations and think it would be a fun career path....

I am asking because Ive always been curious how much the salary of an accountant is.
#income #accounting

I am interested in becoming a civil engineer or an engineer in general. I also see myself starting my own company/business in order to build certain projects through my company. I am aware that knowing how money works will be a necessary skill. How will minoring in accounting be useful in my...

I have background in teaching and worked a private equity role this past summer. I'd love to find a role that combines these two interests and was thinking that education consulting could be a good fit. Any personal experiences or tips would be great to hear! #education #consulting...
