Does anyone know of any nursing programs that aren’t impossible to get into? Anyone have any advice?
I got into nursing programs in high school. Couldn’t afford any of them, so I just went to community college. I decided to work towards an associates degree in film studies, but became an alcoholic and failed out. My grades are completely terrible. I’m now sober, and trying to turn my life around The problem, is that the community college doesn’t offer ANY film classes, or degrees in film anymore due to declining enrollment. I have absolutely no way of retaking those classes. I’m currently an EMT student, and I’m doing very well. I’m incredibly happy to be sober and on the right track, I just hope my past mistakes don’t dictate my entire future. How else can I get a nursing degree, if I have terrible grades, that I can’t retake or fix? Are nursing schools at hospitals easy to get into? Anyone have any advice?
Can I get hospital volunteer hours virtually?
I want to be an ophthalmologist in the future, and I am currently a high school sophomore (10th grade). I know in pre-med/medical school admissions they ask a lot about what experience you have in the health care field, but I'm not sure how I can do that in the current times (the pandemic). I know the Mayo Clinic has some programs for high school students, and I'm applying for those - but are there other virtual opportunities that are currently available for this? Thank you! Have a great day. #high-school #experience #college #pre-med #admissions #ophthalmologist

When should I write my SAT?
Hi, I'm confused about how the SAT works, because I'm from India. When should I take my SATs? Should I take it immediately after my 12th Final Exam? Or before it? Will it be hard for me to prepare for these two really competitive exams at the same time? Or will I have a break after my 12th exam to study for the SATs? #SATs #Indian #INDIA #highschool #admissions

Is it possible to complete a psychology PhD under a faculty member in a different department?
I'm looking into psychology graduate programs, particularly looking for researchers who study sexuality/relationships. People in this area vary in their actual department - for example, some are in sociology, communications, medicine, social work, etc. which vary pretty drastically from psych in terms of how the departments operate. If someone in a department like this is studying something I'm very interested in from a psychology perspective, would I be able to somehow complete my PhD under them? Can I do that by having a co-advisor in the psych department and if so, what might be the criteria for finding an advisor in psych? #psychology #research #grad-school #social-work #psychiatry #communications #sociology #graduate-school #phd #admissions #applications #college #medicine
Do global internships benefit you when it comes to veterinary school applications??
I'm currently an undergraduate looking to apply to vet school in a few years. I know that having relevant experience is crucial, so I've been applying for lots of internships. I fond some summer opportunities abroad, but there are steep program fees and I'm wondering if entry into these would be more beneficial to my application since most revolve around research or wildlife rehabilitation with animals in a setting that may not be as readily available in the US. #internship #science #college #veterinary #job #admissions #veterinary-school #vet-school #veterinarian #research #global #grad-school #graduate-school #resume #application #work

What is the most important factor to consider when choosing a college?
I've managed to come up with a list of several schools that I like and would enjoy attending, but I'm at a bit of a loss when it comes to which schools I should even apply to, let alone which one I should go to, one has a way better academic program, but the price is a lot higher and it's a lot further away from my home. Another is incredibly cheap, has somewhat decent academics, but is located in the emptiness corner of Minnesota. Others half check all the boxes, I'm not sure how to whittle down the list, and wanted advice on what other people thought. #college #admissions

What are some steps I can take to increase chances of admission at Georgia Tech?
I am currently a high school senior at a public high school in Atlanta, GA. So far, my SAT scores, GPA, Transcripts, and AP scores are high. I'm also in a school acapella club, do choir, and have been doing Academic Bowl for the past 3 years. This coming school year, I am going to lead my school's Academic Bowl and Math Club. However, I have only taken 4 AP's, and I am only going to take 1 AP and 2 Dual Enrollment classes (College English and Multi-variable Calculus) this coming year. Also, besides doing some service hours during Service Day, my service record has not been exactly the best. What can I do right now to help increase my chances of admission at Georgia Tech? #georgiatech #college #high-school #admissions

What kind of medical-related jobs are med schools looking for?
I hope to go to medical school after I graduate. I know there is a lot that medical schools want to see on your application even before you apply. I have heard from some other med students that you need to have some form of job experience or volunteer experience in a hospital with patients. I don't know what jobs they prefer to see or how to get exceptional experience. Any advice? Recommendations? #medicine #medschool #jobexperience #doctor #med-school #admissions #college-admissions

Does my ethnic background play a role in whether or not I get accepted?
I am asking about ethnicity because I am a white, female, however, I have Cherokee Indian on my grandfather's side of the family. I have no idea how to prove it; or what route to take.
