How to transfer to a 4-year university from community college?
Ok, I am currently a junior in HS. My counselor said I have to go to a community college for my first 2 years because I have a some D's in my transcript & they wont transfer. I was wondering if I could just go to a community college for only a year. Is it possible? And how can I make up my d's in community college?
Answer:
Most states have a automatic transfer program where as long as you complete 2 years at a community college then you will be guaranteed entry to any public university in you state. Obviously you have to meet minimum requirements like have your language requirements completed, a minimum 2.0 GPA and the 60 credit hours you get at the community college.
For example, my state, which is Florida does this, its called 2+2, If I met the language requirements, had at least a 2.0GPA and had a minimum 60 credit hours which is all accomplished during the two years you spend at a community college, then I could go to any University in Florida. Such as the University of Florida, Florida State University, or the University of Central Florida just to name a few.
If you want to transfer after one year of community college then you will have to take the ACT/SAT, plus your grades will have to be significantly higher, such as at least a 3.50-4.0GPA.
So why go through all that when you can just stay one more year at community college and get an automatic admission to a university when you finish, and skip all that other crap like the SAT's and making sure your GPA is super high?
Not to mention some universities do not accept student transfers that only have 13-59 credits completed which is what you would have after one year of community college. That is called lower division transfer students. This website shows where it says that are not accepting lower division transfer students.

How to establish residency as college student in WI coming from IL?
I am aware that you must not be a student for a full year in order to establish residency. However, what if I go to college in Wisconsin next year and my parents rent an apartment for a full year there as well while I am in college but I don't live there. Can I transfer out of my original college to Wisconsin Madison and go for instate tuition based off of the fact that my parents have been paying for an apartment there for a whole year?
Answer:
I doubt you can do it because when you show you're transferring from a college in another state that will show by dates you were not a resident.
But if your parents move early enough and establish legal residence and show you as their live in son who happens to go to a college out of state that may or may not fly.
Also will you be 18 or older then you are an adult which may stop it from working.
You have to check out what specifically would make you a legal resident in WI while going to school in Ill.
Check the WI catalog, on line for possible info, maybe a lawyer, or the WI enrollment office.
Good luck.
How to become a nurse practitioner in North Carolina?
Okay so I want to become a nurse practitioner, but every time I google the requirements, each website says something differently.
Right after high school, I plan on going to school so what should I study and and how long will it take to complete school before becoming a nurse practitioner (pediatric)?
*North Carolina*
P.S. Is it required to practice as an RN?
Answer:
First, you must get a BSN (bachelor's degree in nursing). I'm doing that right now right out of high school at a 4-year university. But you can go to a community college to do pre-req's and transfer to a nursing school at a 4-year university to get your BSN or you can become an RN from an associate's degree and then do "BSN completion" at a 4-year college while you work as an RN.
But you must have a BSN, you must be licensed as an RN by taking the NCLEX-RN. And most will require you to have worked and have experience as an RN, especially in the particular area (in your case, pediatrics) that you want to get your advanced degree for. Most graduate nursing programs will require a minimum 3.0 GPA, but usually more in the range of a 3.5 GPA minimum from your undergraduate studies. It is usually 18-24 months of full-time study to get an MSN which can specialize you as a nurse practioner. Or you can get a DNP which was introduced recently and is designed to almost replace the master's of nursing degree and the AANC wants the DNP to be a requirement of for all advanced practice nurses like nurse practioners, by 2015. A DNP is a Doctor of Nursing Practice, meaning it is a clinical doctorate for advanced practice nurses not just Nurse Practitioners. Most DNP programs that I have seen have options to enter them with a BSN or MSN. Starting from a BSN most programs (again, that I have looked at) are approximately 3 years in length with a master's focus on NP. To get an MSN (focusing on NP) it takes two years for most programs. In a BSN to DNP program, you get your master's during the program, and then are awarded your doctorate.
I'm looking into this as well :)

How to go to college in the UK?
So I am from America and I have been thinking about going to college in the UK. How do scholarships work for international students if you go to college there? It would likely be public, but feel free to explain both. I think I would qualify for scholarship stuff because we make $100K a year after taxes, but I have three younger siblings so obviously colleges would take that into consideration. What's the deal? How can I finance a UK education?
Answer:
University not college. College refers to something else in the UK.
There are few scholarships for international students in the UK and those that exist are not worth much. Around 1,000-3,000 pounds per year. As an international student you can expect to pay 10,000-25,000 pounds per year.
The US scholarship culture does not exist at the same level in the UK
All UK universities (except one) are public.
You would need to take out some form of student loans.
How to meet people from you're college class before going to college?
I will be a freshman at Emory this coming fall and I was wondering if I could somehow meet people from the Emory class of 2016 as well? Please let me know if there are any websites or something. Thanks!
Answer:
For sure, facebook. Colleges are now putting admissions staff from universities on facebook and they form the groups of each upcoming class. I got put in a [insert my school here] Class of 2016 group. Some people facebook each other and chat and possibly meet while others just ask questions about college on there. So, make sure you have a facebook and look out for a friend request from a representative from Emory.
Don't know why you would want to meet them before hand though. Meeting new people during orientation is the best part!
How to get into a performing arts college?
What are the qualifications and how can a person audition, can I audition via recording if I don't live near the area?? ANYTHING you know please tell me I searched all over and I don't have much information.

How to enjoy a hard college life?
I love college overall. My professors are overall compatible with me. However, it is very hard for me. I cannot seem to make friends with anyone at all. I've never really had friends, so I'm mostly used to being alone. I miss high school for specific reasons and have a hard time refraining from missing wonderful moments in my past. I also have trouble enjoying life even when I shouldn't. I'm frustrated and my only therapy is writing. What are some ways to deal with this depressing time until things get better?
Answer:
Find a group of people to study with, if you want, make it a game to see who can come up with the right answers.
This will encourage two things, interaction and also help you with your studies.
Secondly, don't procrastinate, push yourself during the week to accomplish all your goals...but the weekend is yours. Go out!!! If you fail to accomplish your goals during the week, you don't get to go out. Positive reinforcement works wonders.

How to become a better, more focused student?
I don't want to specify my age or grade or anything, but in general how can I become a more efficient student? Can you also offer some advice on what has helped you, please be specific, I understand the general to dos. I want to be at my best to learn and really absorb information. I feel I am a pretty good student as of now, but I want to improve. Thanks!
Answer:
Here's what worked for me...
- buy a stack of plain printing paper, this will be for you notes, you don't need a fancy gadget during a lecture, but nice to have one along for backup calculations
- buy a three hole punch
- buy a binder
- buy a bunch of cheap folders with pockets
- keep the plain _unlined_ paper in one side of the folder, the sheets you scribble on, you bunch up later and throw into the binder at home while reviewing and arranging in order (you study and collate at the same time, win-win!)
- you can bring your binder with you to class, but you don't have to, just the books and the folder of paper.
- backpack or something similar, forget the purse
- carry healthy snacks with you (granola bar, apple, etc.)
- eat breakfast
- while doing homework, iced tea is your friend :) it has a much smaller dose of caffeine than coffee and tastes good
other things...
- listen, don't just copy, the best learning is asking the question why? during the lecture, keep the notes sweet and short, when you review them later it will all come back again
- review your notes more than once, trying to recall what was said in class
- the obvious one, do your homework and attend class, that means lecture, recitations, and labs (all of which I was bad at)
- don't be afraid of your TA or Professor, you're paying them to help you
- form alliances, i.e. friends that you can study and do homework with
- here's the big secret, don't cram, you either know the material or you don't, that's it, stressing out before an exam or quiz is like eating your own heart, while everyone else was freaking out, I was taking a nap in the courtyard, like exercise, it's important to rest those mental muscles to recover
With the exception of the attendance thing and forming alliances, using those basic rules gave me good exam scores.
Good luck and more importantly, have fun.
Edit... I forgot. If you don't keep a schedule on your handheld, a good visual one is a printed one you designed yourself. Mine had hourly slots with a decent margin to jot down random things, like to do lists. It was easier for me because everything was right there in front me; no need to scroll or search. Also, I'm sort of old school and it is more concrete if I write it down than typing it in.
