Is it allowed, and is there a benefit to using new studet loans to pay off the oldest ones?

I am in graduate school, and the student loans are piling on. I notices some of the older, unsubsidized loans are starting to accumulate interest. I wonder if it would be wise to use my refunds to pay off these older student loans? #graduate-school #doctorate-degree #student-counseling #student-affairs

How do I go to a college as a non-degree seeking student?

After I graduate (with a Bachelors and Masters Degree), I need to re-take a few courses and take a few new ones to prepare for my next applications. But, how does one go to a 4 year college as non-degree seeking? Is the admissions process the same as undergrad? Do I have to apply or do I just contact the university? How can I know that the university is offering the classes I need? #college #graduate-school #college-admissions #veterinary #college-applications #college-advice #non-degree

After college, should I look for a job, or should I go to graduate school?

I am currently a second year student in college, and I am trying to plan out my future for the next few years (or have a brief outline of what I might want to do). Many of my upperclassmen friends told me that they decided to find a job after college, rather than go to graduate school, and I'm conflicted as to what I should do. What are the merits of going to graduate school, and how can it benefit me? Are there majors that might be better suited going to graduate school for? #college #career #college-major #career-choice #graduate-school

How do I know if studying abroad is for me?

I have never traveled alone or been away from my family for more than a few weeks. However, I love to travel and I am considering getting a degree in Europe or Australia. These programs are also so much cheaper than USA programs and have less requirements. Yet, I am worried that I might feel 'culture' shock as their educational systems are quite different from USA. #college #graduate-school #college-bound #travel #study-abroad #academic-advising

How to write a statement of purpose when applying to college programs?

I am applying to a post-baccalaureate medical program which requires a pre-application including a statement of 'what prompted your desire to pursue medicine now.' Is there a formula for writing these statements? Should I write it like a cover letter? Should I be creative and tell a story? What information is key to include and NOT to include? #college #graduate-school #college-bound #writing #cover-letters #personal-statements

Choosing a post-baccalaureate program vs. masters degree vs. non-matriculation to improve my grades before applying to vet school?

I am in a position where the degree I am receiving (BS, MS) does not directly apply to veterinary medicine. I have taken some pre-requisite classes ("pre-vet reqs"), but in some I have received less than stellar grades. I am also completely missing some pre-requisites like upper level biology courses or have only taken half of a sequence (eg: organic chemistry) because of the requirements of my current undegrad program. I would like to re-take some courses and take some new courses before trying to apply to vet school. However, I cannot tell if a post-baccalaureate certificate program is most appropriate versus just enrolling as a non-degree seeking students to complete my pre-reqs. For a lot of post-bacc programs, I apparently have 'too many science' courses to apply to them. Does anyone have any advice? Does anyone know anything regarding which program is more expensive, generally? #college #career-path #graduate-school #veterinary #medical-education #academic-advising #graduate-recruitment #prerequisites

Is it worth applying to a joint BS/MS program after already receiving your BA?

Some graduate programs only offer the joint program. They happen to be much longer since they are joint programs. However, many programs only offer a regular MS degree. #psychology #graduate-school #occupational-therapy #masters-degree #speech-pathology
