How do i change my major? and do i need to repeat a class?

ok wen i look at my profile of my account in my college website...its says my program of study is computer science..nd i had remembered tat tats wat i put wen i first applied and now i just finished my 1st sememster...where do i go to inform them tat im not going for tat anymore.



and also i made an F on my US history class ..but it still says i got 3.00 credit...do i need to retake it?How do i change my major? and do i need to repeat a class?
Speak to your counselor about both problems./

I'm changing majors... should I even try to finish my online pass/fail class?

This is taken from how the Univ calculates GPA:



All grades received during a student's enrollment (except the grades of W, P, Z, and F in a Pass/Fail course) are included in the cumulative GPA. Grades from other colleges are excluded.



It states that in F does not effect GPA. So the class I am in will not transfer over to my other major, so there is no harm in failing this class right?I'm changing majors... should I even try to finish my online pass/fail class?
It depends....do you plan on applying to grad school, or is there even a remote possibility grad school is in the future? If so, having a F on your record would not be a good idea....especially for a pass/fail class, since it means you couldn't even manage a passing grade (and some grad schools have their own method of recalculating GPAs to include W/P/F).



It's worth thinking about....I had a major career path switch in college (I decided to apply to med school), and all of a sudden grades mattered 10x more than they had for my original goals....and I thank the lucky stars I hadn't accidentally sabotaged myself back when grades ';didn't matter';.I'm changing majors... should I even try to finish my online pass/fail class?
From what info you have given, your F will not affect your GPA. But its better to try to pass that class anyways just so you dont waist your money or time.

How to change from major prep to skater chick?

im 15 and im going to a new school next year and im so sick and tired of always having to look perfect and skateboarding is soo fun can you give me tips on how to dressHow to change from major prep to skater chick?
instead of trying to dress skater, i have one tip for you. just try dressing YOU. it will be the best decision u make in high school. don't dress to a label such as prep or skater. one day if you feel like wearing jeans, converse, and a tshirt go for it. the next day if you wanna wear a sundress with flats go for that too. that's how i dress, and people love my style, trust me a little variety never hurt.



good luck =]]How to change from major prep to skater chick?

Picking out ahead of time what you want to be is a horrible idea. In some places you have no freedom to be who you want to, so take advantage of that. Be yourself

Should I change my major to become some kind of a teacher?

I am in an Algebra class right now and am the only one that knows what's going on. I am also the only male in class with about 10 ladies. Since the professor doesn't know how to explain things, they bunch up on me and ask for help. I have no problem helping out a bunch of women in need, you know what I'm saying? I am good at explaining things to individuals and now see that teaching women is my calling. Even though 2 or 3 of them were probably just flirting with me, I beleive that my message got through to the other 7 that were interested in learning. Should I invite myself to these women's houses to give them a ';pop quiz'; to see how much they've learned?Should I change my major to become some kind of a teacher?
LOL u r funny.... education for the ladies.. yea why not, if they like it, go for it!Should I change my major to become some kind of a teacher?
yep, you should be a private tutor.
im sure they would enjoy it
yes it is your civic duty
LMAO! Yeah, you're all about the ';pop quiz'; aren't you dude?
It's A LOT more than ';explaining things.'; Being a teacher means being a mother, father, brother and sister to hundreds of kids each with different personalities!



Everyday is different and teaching is so much more than being able to explain that days lesson. It's an underpaid job and if you are a good teacher you will never work the 7-3 work day....I am here until about 5 everyday and thats when I am not busy! Believe me, without the summer, teachers would burn out in about 2 years....
Yes you should but ummmmm i'm having a bit of trouble with my algebra stuff and i think i could use some private tutoring as well.....
  • Name for a new kitten

  • I want to change my major to something more versatile perhaps marketing any advice?

    I just recently graduated with my associate's degree in human services and while I like people I just don't have an interest in becoming a social worker or crisis counselor etc. I would like for my bachelor's degree to be in a field that is challenging yet very versatile. however, I am somewhat hesistant about majoring in business because I don't have a strong interest in numbers, complex math, and talking in front of large groups of people. I am someone who is capable of working in a team but prefers to work alone and I like work that is more behind the scenes. As far as doing work that involves research I prefer to do things such as designing a survey. Therefore, I was thinking of becoming a market research analyst but am worried about how I would do in courses such as accounting, finance, and sales. I took an accounting course in highschool and I did extremely well at level one but I struggled with level two and drop the class after a week. in spite of my fear should I try again?I want to change my major to something more versatile perhaps marketing any advice?
    My major was in Advertising which contained almost identical coursework to Marketing. I think you are making out a business degree and working in business to be more difficult than it is. Public speaking is the number one fear everyone has so join the club. If you take business courses it is possible you will face an accounting course or two but that is it.



    I would find a general field like Marketing or Education and go get that 4 year degree. A degree tells a future employer two important things: #1 That you are teachable and #2 that you can complete what you start. Many employers don't care what your degree is in but that you have one. They figure they will retrain you anyway.



    Most people change majors several times in college and change careers several more times after they are out in the workforce. So just relax and don't worry that you need to make a lifetime decision right now.



    I never ever had a job in Advertising but the fact I had that degree was very valuable.I want to change my major to something more versatile perhaps marketing any advice?
    Marketing is not a great field its all sales jobs the pay is not very well either. A bachelors in marketing will get you a starting salary of $30,000, its not worth it. Get a degree in management or something related to the health industry (booming field).



    P.S Anything you do thats business related marketing,management,accounting ect... will require alot of math which means (calculas and statistics) very tough courses.
    Yeah, sounds like you should go for a Marketing Analyst or Sales Analyst type of job in a large corporate firm like Sony, Target, Apple, Microsoft, Disney, etc. These large corporations are fun to work in the sales %26amp; marketing departments becuase you can actually help the sales teams track products you know and use like Sony TVs, DVDs, Disney ticket sales and Household goods.

    By taking a business degree you would cover your basis for any corprotion in the market place. Finance numbers come into play to help track Gross Sales and Profit Margins for the products in a given company.

    Need help, possibly changing majors?

    I'm a fashion design major and I'm planning on transferring to the Fashion Institute of Technology. I don't know if this is a good idea considering how bad the economy is right now. I guess my real question is, will the job market still be this bad 3 years from now? Should I should pursue a more stable career temporarily and then return to design later on? Or should I just go for it?Need help, possibly changing majors?
    I had the same problem deciding which degree I should keep (the one I liked or the one that will give me a nice paycheck) I talked to a couple of advisers and they recommended me to double major or get a minor. I think what you should do is to have a back up plan just in case the economy does not increase as we are all expecting. Sometimes it is not always convenient to follow your heart but your mind.

    How hard is a biology major?

    I am currently changing my major from Computer Science. I am having trouble deciding what to choose and started thinking about Biology. I had trouble with Calculus in my second semester and was wondering if Biology is hard and does it require Calculus or higher? I am currently a Freshman so I honestly have no idea what I should choose.How hard is a biology major?
    It requires a lot of science classes, like a year and a half worth, plus elem stats and either pre-calc or trig.

    Should I change my major?

    I am majoring in accounting right now. I am a freshman. I am seriously thinking of changing over to pre pharmacy. It is on my mind and I at least want to give it a try. I am a little scared because I am afraid of how I may do but I want to try it. I work part time at a pharmacy and I have been there for a year and a half and is seriously considering it. What do you think I should do?Should I change my major?
    Go with a career in what you get your best grades in for that will always come easiest! Try majoring in one and minoring in the other therefore you have both bases covered.Should I change my major?
    yes change it...
    Follow your heart and change your major. You've been working there long enough to know you like Pharmacy, and being your freshman year you won't have to think twice about it.

    I did REALLY bad this semester. Will my financial aid be taken away or will i just be on probation?

    I don't even wanna tell you how bad i did... regardless I have an overall GPA of 1.5 now.. I changed majors from computer science to information systems, so next semester I should do MUCH better.



    Anyway, will I still have my federal grants and reduced interest loans? As long as I bring up my grades?I did REALLY bad this semester. Will my financial aid be taken away or will i just be on probation?
    It depends. Were you on probation this semester? If not, then you will be on probation for a semester and as long as you get your gpa up, you'll be okay.I did REALLY bad this semester. Will my financial aid be taken away or will i just be on probation?
    The company who gave you the money does not care how your grades are just if you were dismissed during the half way mark but if you drop out during the semester you have to pay the refund you did get and the school will charge you for dropping out, so keep the grades up talk to your counselor and things should work out.
    It depends. Some money (from scholarships) have some rules that say you have to keep a GPA of a certain amount or higher, but I don't think aid you received from FAFSA have those sort of promises.

    How do I tell my parents I'm changing my major?

    I'm currently in a Culinary Arts but I'm going to switch to Hospitality. The problem is that I don't know how to tell my parents. I'm afraid to bring it up because hey have this plan for me to be a chef and they're going to be super pissed when I tell them I don't want to do culinary. They're the type that are ';My way or the highway'; and I know this will cause a lot of fights and drama. Any suggestions on how I go telling them?How do I tell my parents I'm changing my major?
    It's not their lives, so they shouldn't expect to control what you want to be. If you want to switch to another major just tell them. ';Mom, dad, Im not so hapy with culinary and I was thinking of doing something a with a little more impact. I want to help people, not cook for them';.How do I tell my parents I'm changing my major?
    The majority of students change their major. It's a part of growth. I'm more concerned about another issue. I looked up the ';hospitality'; major, and it appears that it is geared toward management of restaurants and hotels. While this is certainly a valid career choice, I question whether you might be better off going in another direction in your preparation.





    A general management degree from a college, even a two-year one, would give you a lot more options. If you decide after training that you'd like to try something different, a more general degree would make it easier to make the change. And, your parents might feel better about paying for a management degree which would make you eligible for a lot more jobs. Just a thought.





    In the meantime, I'm sure your parents will be more understanding than you think. Just lay out a clear plan, and they'll be fine. Good luck to you.
    My advice? Your in college and you have a major. It's your life now, not theres, they can't keep you home, they can't walk into your own home without breaking and entering so how are they hurting you this much because you started something, it wasn't what you thoght it would be, you found interest in something else, and you'll pursue that.





    I would just not tell them. Don't say yeah, Culinary Arts is great. If they ask how school is, tell them that it's the same. if they ask how your cooking is going, tell them its going fine (with the thoughts of last nights dinner in your mind) don't avoid it, just don't bring it up. Unless they ask a direct question. then tell them that it doesn't interest you like you thoght it woudl and drop the subject. Just like it's not my dads business that I broke my bike. I need the exersize i get from walking anyways.
    The first thing you should do is pray and then prepare reasons on why you're going to change your major. When you speak to them be sure to be calm and tell them that you'll excel in this choice because that's what you want, right? A person excels in what he/she likes and because of that in pertaining goals, they will be succesful
    You could still minor in Culinary Arts but all you are doing


    is switching majors. Just tell them that. Say you have done research into the Hospitality industry and found it interesting


    so you have decided to switch.
    ';Hey mom and dad. Oh is that a new hair dew, it looks amazing, so anyways im going to be a doctor okay, Love you! Bye';


    haha yeah i dont know.
    Say; Mom, Dad i am changing my major! :)
    My son has done it twice. Just glad he is sticking it out college education is important,parents should understand
    Just tell them.
    First of all, ask yourself. Things like '; Why am I changing my course/career/major?';, ';Is it really necessary?';, ';DO I HAVE A CHOICE?';. These self scanning must be done thoroughly and withouc plasticity. You must decide well, because your future life is at stake. Now if you suddenly decided and thought '; Hey, Culinary isnt bad enough.'; give yourself a pat in the back because FINALLY you chose the right thing...(stop reading from this point if you chose the RIGHT thing). But if you are really some kind of adventurous, spoiled, shitty headed person, and still stick the Chef-Turned-Host/Hostess idea, I will spend some of my little time giving you some sermon:





    1. Cook (after all, you're studying how to cook until you suddenly thought that its moar exciting to be hospitable) your specialty dish as a decoy for your parents. This will stabilize the mood of your parents, at least temporarily.





    2. Talk about some happy things and have a good conversation. This is a good plan to manipulate them towards your actual point.





    3. When you finish the food, the climax will begin. Talk about something that has relationship to your point. Ex: ';I have a friend who stupidly decided to change his major...'; Something like that.





    4. Tell them your point. Tell them whatever reason you have. For some special effects, cry (cry only if you are a girl. Dont try it if you are otherwise. Instead, look them sharply in there eyes as you narrate them your reasons and the shitakes.)





    5. Prepare for the worse. If you are stabbed in the lungs by your mother or trampled to comatose state by your father, still be happy. At least you tried, and most of all you had show them you can stand at your own point and be strong (stop reading to this point if you failed). But if the hell suddenly freezes over and your parents, for some unknown and uncomprehendable reasons, told you ';OK, we let you.';, pat yourself in the back...





    6. Good luck!
    I went through the same problem. Lucky for you, culinary and hospitality are quite similar. What are your reasons for switching majors? Make sure you are ready with rebuttals when you talk to them. Don't argue with them, but tell them you are SURE you want to switch majors. Make sure you are prepared with a list of reasons why. You could say that hospitality is a wider field and has many more options, including the culinary arts. I noticed the best thing to do when talking to your parents about college and the future, is seem overly confident. If you seem like you're unsure, they'll attack you with ';my way or the highway'; kind of stuff. Sit them down, or just casually mention it. Maybe talk to an adviser at school... see what they have to say and if they agree that you should switch majors, tell your parents that even your adviser recommended it. Tell them you've been doing alot of thinking and researching and realized you want to switch majors. Make sure you know what you're going to say before you talk to them. This may even sound lame, but come up with a list of questions you think they might ask.. or a bunch of things they might say, and come up with things to say back. This way, you'll be prepared for the argument if one ensues! good luck and remember.. it's YOUR future.. fight for what you want!

    I have alot going on in my life now, ALOT of major changes.....How can i make this ';panic'; feelings go away?

    i get times where i feel really panicky....( if that's how you spell it) i feel trapped and like i have no control over these situations. I'm really scaring myself with some of the thoughts running through my head because of all of these changes and i need some methods to get through these changes. thanks in advance!I have alot going on in my life now, ALOT of major changes.....How can i make this ';panic'; feelings go away?
    I was wondering how old you were...?



    panic attacks usually stem from some kind of insecurity issues with that person...lots of people have these types of attacks seeing as we live in a very stressfull world...just remember your not alone and nobody is perfect...everyone has insecurities however dont let them eat at you...learn to live within your own skin and face your fears head on as soon as possible and remember nobody really cares what or who you are as much as you do so just say to yourself who cares...there isnt anything to panic about.



    life can be stressfull so remember to take deep breaths if you do seem to panic...depending where you are close eyes and take deep breathes to calm down.I have alot going on in my life now, ALOT of major changes.....How can i make this ';panic'; feelings go away?
    anti-anxiety pills will help
    seeing a doctor and explaining your fears will be the first thing you should do and do not put it off any longer they have medication that will help you there is no need to suffer this way... God bless you
    i've been threw alot. divorce, war, parents passing away, and being a single parent with noone there. this was all by the age of 35. i think if you eat vegetable, fruit, and healthy foods it will help. have good bathing habits, dont wear alot of makeup and pretty much go chemical free even with your hair. get into religion. beleive in God. pray to God. it will help and help lead you into a cleaner lifestyle. once you are cool with who you are then the world looks at you in a nicer way. and you always have control over things. when i am in fear i like to stress out in a nice hot bath and have a little cry. that is always a good time and place to reconnect with yourself and God.
    You could try st Johns Wort. It may help, but check out the interactions and don't take it if you're on ';the pill';.

    Oh, and yoga could help too.
    Eating a proper diet, and getting enough sleep definitely helps. so does focusing on one task at a time, and not looking at the whole picture. i don't know what's going on in your life, but we are in the middle of a move for my daughter. We spend 1 hour on each task we have to do every day, and things just seem to be going along nicely. Also, we've put off dealing with the legal matters of separation and child custody until after the move is finished. One thing at a time! Today we packed her kitchen, and painted the bathroom, and moved her big furniture to my house. Then she had to go to work, and her ex came to pick up the kids. I spent an hour rearranging my living room to hold her bed and dresser. In an hour, after I have a small meal, I'm going to throw in another load of laundry, and work on a quilt I'm making for her son.
    Just STOP. Sit down, relax and think. Make two lists -- things you can address and things you can't address. Look at the list that you can address. Look at number 1. Is it really that hard to deal with that? So deal with it. Forget about everything else and do number 1. When that's done, go to number 2.



    Then get the list of things you can't address. Take that and put it in the trash or give it someone else.



    The method is to simply to do something, but not everything at once. Keep in mind that you are probably making everything on the list way too important. Take some time for yourself and enjoy life. It's the only one you have.

    Can I major in Psychology to become a Doctor?

    I find Psychology very interesting! And I heard it's alot easier than majoring in Biology. I know I have to take the Pre-requisites to get into Medical school. Will majoring in Psychology be easier than Biology? because I heard it's a smooth program. And how will changing my major in Biology to Psychology affect how well I do in the MCAT? thanks!Can I major in Psychology to become a Doctor?
    Any major is fine as long as you take the premed classes. The premed classes are the ones you need for the MCAT, so not doing a bio major shouldn't hurt you there.Can I major in Psychology to become a Doctor?
    You can major in anything, so long as you complete your ';pre med'; checklist. I have one friend who has her degree in Psychology, who's currently working in Ohio, and another who's degree is in Communications who's an Emergecy Room Doc.
    All majors are eligible for medical school, as long as you complete the pre-med courses and do well on the MCAT.



    FYI, Psychology + Medical school + Psych residency = Psychiatrist
    YES you're exactly right....Psychology will give you the advantage of gettin into MEd School I LITTLE BIT easier because you have an uncommon major comparable to the 81% of applicants whom have Biology/Chemistry degrees, 12% Nursing, and the remaining % is in the Liberal arts i.e. Psych, Enlgish, Sociology, ETC.



    The MCAT is comprised of Physical Science (Math, General Chemistry, a little Organic Chem, Physics), Biologicl Sciences, Verbal Reasoning (like the SAT or ACT), and then Writing (Essay)....



    AS far as MEdical School pre-reqs...they all require mainly the same ones: Introductory Biology (Intro Cell/Molecular and Intro Ecological), Physics, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Math (Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Statistics) and lastly your general education requirements but you should take these anyways with any major (English, Social Sciences, Speech etc.)

    Who has switched their major during their senior year of college? How did it affect you?

    It's my first semester of my senior year, and I did a minimal major switch. I went from Entrepreneurship to Human Resource Management. The course work is closely related, and I will still graduate on time. I have no idea if I'll like HR or not. I just hated my previous major and HR was the easiest to switch to. (I do have an interest in HR) I just wanted to see if anyone else has changed their major during Senior year, and how it has affected you.Who has switched their major during their senior year of college? How did it affect you?
    If you weren't happy with your previous major then it was a good idea to switch. You don't want to be stuck in something that you don't want to do. It's always better to find out now that you don't like your major. It helps when you have an interest in something when you start working. It will make your career more interesting and you will want to learn more about it. If you are happy it definitely helps. I didn't change my major but I wish I would have when I had the chance.Who has switched their major during their senior year of college? How did it affect you?
    If you hated your previous major than this a good change. Since you'll graduate when you expected, I don't see any problems.



    I didn't change majors but I added a second major. It also didn't take me any longer but I had to have a busy senior year. It just so happened that I was close to having the second major so I decided to go for it. It didn't really affect me at all. I have bee out of university for 6 years now and it honestly hasn't made a difference in my life.

    How to deal with miscarriage?

    so i am 19, and was pregnant, had a miscarriage....



    and let me tell u i am an elementary education major, and its scary ....i almost wanted to change majors because of this, this is my 2nd miscarriage i have had. and no i am not trying to get pregnant... i am young and realize this....

    but its very depressing... i have heard that if u keep having miscarriages that you are less likely to be able to have a kid in the future...is that true ? has anyone experienced difficulty in gettting preg?How to deal with miscarriage?
    I had a miscarraige and got pregnant two months afterwards. I'm now 37 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy. Don't worry it will happen when the time is right. Also you need to trust your body. Many times your body will abort a baby that has serious defects, this often happens before 12 weeks gestation. Lots of woman have miscarriages before they even realize they are pregnant and they mistake it for a heavy period. Trust me it will be alright I know its SO dissapointing, but God will make it right.How to deal with miscarriage?
    Please do not worry. Your young, lifes stressful and ur body is feeling loads of emotions and ur hormones are everywhere. Things happen for a reason...think posotive, try relaxing and when u are ready for a baby u will have one...believe me. good luck XXX
    yes but i dont think so its so unlikely my friend had about i think 6 miscarriages and she carried one baby through and had a heathly baby girl
    I had a miscarriage in between my two kids. It was awful, and my own mother didn't offer much support. Thankfully my husband did. I still deal with it to this day, but it does get easier. So sorry! I got pregnant very easily almost 1 year to the date after I lost that baby. Get a good support system of friends and family. I find not talking about it alot helps me to not think about it all the time.
    Miscarriage is usually a chance event, not a sign of an ongoing reproductive problem. If you have had one miscarriage, your chances for future successful pregnancies are good. Less than 1% of women have three or more miscarriages in a row (called recurrent miscarriages).



    If you have had three or more miscarriages, talk to your health professional about testing and treatment for a possible underlying cause.

    Question About Getting An Art Degree?

    I am currently an education major and I am already considering changing majors. I am interested in the possibility of getting an art degree. How good are the job prosepects with an art degree? How do you know if you are talented enough to get an art degree? I am struggling with these decisions a great deal so any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!Question About Getting An Art Degree?
    I'm studying in a fine art degree and to be honest I didn't care about the job prospects at the end, purely because art is my passion. Someone with any type of degree will be considered over job than someone without.



    The talent you need in art really is fresh and different ideas (these are usually stimulated by experiences or help from peers %26amp; tutors).

    Drawing and painting can be taught and there are techniques for getting proportions right. You learn the basic techniques in life drawing classes, so if you were worried that you were not good enough, look up on the internet or the phone book for life drawing classes near you.



    The college art course I did included fashion, graphic design, photography, ceramics, art history, life drawing and so, so much more.

    (art history is very good in helping these 'fresh and different ideas').



    Graphic design is considered a good industry to get into for jobs, because EVERYTHING has a design to it, from cars and adverts to packaging and urinals! But I personally found it quite boring at times.



    Art is very open and you can express anything you want to, projects we are given are normally very loose and open to interpretation. you are never wrong, but you have to make sure that you have a reasonable sized amount of work to back your ideas up. I would recommend anyone to an art course, but they have to be passionate about it, especially to get a good job.



    A lot of art students become teachers.I know people who sell their work on the internet (ebay etc) and sometimes universities and colleges hold exhibitions for students work and sometimes work is sold. My lecturers put their work up in exhibitions all over the UK. There is nothing stopping a fine artist working as a photographer, or designer, but people who have studied those subjects individually may have a better suited portfolio to the job.



    It's all down to you :)

    Good luck!Question About Getting An Art Degree?
    No problem! :) im glad i could help.



    If you talk to the tutors on the course you're thinking of joining, I'm sure they will answer your questions and tell you about future jobs. Keep in mind they might be a bit biast ;)

  • I am thinking of changing my major to Photography/Wildlife photography. Do i not have enough experince?

    I am a sophmore in college without a major. I havent taken any photography classes and dont even own a camera. I think i may try to take a class to see how i like it. If i choose photography to be my major, do you think i am to old to catch up to everyone else?I am thinking of changing my major to Photography/Wildlife photography. Do i not have enough experince?
    George Lepp is one of the most well known wildlife photographers who also teaches the subject.



    I say this because when I was at the University, I was always complaining that I wasn't learning anything about my major (TV and Film). My adviser asked me a simple question. Are you here to learn or get your degree? I said both and she told me that I would end up being disappointed and probably get neither.



    She told me that I could always learn at seminars, workshops and ';trade' schools. College was academic and training you in a skill was not their job.



    Take all the photo courses you can whether art or photojournalism or what ever other courses they have where you can learn how to use your eye and camera in harmony. All the professional skills will most likely come from a different source like ASMP or other professional organization.



    So that said, here is a link to George.I am thinking of changing my major to Photography/Wildlife photography. Do i not have enough experince?
    i would say to take the class and see how you do in it. if you dont fal behind everyone else in the class then you should be fine.



    photography is about creativity as well as technique. as long as you have the mind to do it, then you should be ok.



    you might want to try to play catch up at the beginning, just to learn how to develop them and maybe mess around with different digital techniques just to get you ready.
    It isn't really a matter of being too old. You need to know that the field is VERY tough to get into (professionally) and make an actual living in after you graduate. Very few people end up working for National Geographic (or even seeing their work in its pages). You might want to minor in this (or just use it as a lifelong hobby). It's not impossible, but really tough to make this your career and not starve in the process!

    If i graduated from a America, can i still study in Egypt?

    say i got a college degree from an American university here in the states, however, i decided to go back to Egypt for changing major to become a dentist (it's cheaper in Egypt). can i apply into a dentist school in cairo? will they care about my grades in High school? or how it will work?If i graduated from a America, can i still study in Egypt?
    to. be accepted in the dentist school , you would have to show proof that you got more than 95 % .

    colleges in Egypt demand very high grades .

    you pay very small fees in the main universties , but your grades have to be high .

    there are private universities .

    they also demand high grades , but less than the main universities .

    the fees are very high , perhaps 25 thousand LE.

    good luck.If i graduated from a America, can i still study in Egypt?
    they wouldnt care about high school grades but college grades yes
    hmm i think it wouldnt matter really

    How difficult is college life? will i survive?

    I am about to transfer from a Jr. College to a 4 year university. I just recieved my acceptance letter from TCU on an English major. But i am looking at UTA and TSU b/c the major i want to do (business, i changed majors after acceptance) requires a 3.25 just to be ';considered';. I really want to do buisness at TCU should I hold out or just go to UTA or TSU where i no i'll be able to. Also, if i am accepted to TCU on Business i dont think i can compete with those 4.0 when currently (not final GPA) all i have is a 3.06. Help plz. i am afraid of failure and in all honesty afraid to take a chance. I also unsure if i can survive in the college life. Ty.How difficult is college life? will i survive?
    College is the best years to experience. You learn so much by doing rather than listening. You learn more knowledge and receive first-hand experience on real-life interships. College life will be enjoyable as long as you know how to balance studying and living. You will survive if you give yourself time for studies and friends. Never be afraid of failure because it will lower your self-confidence. College is not just about GPAs and studies. People will be missing out on a big bulk of college by locking yourself in your dorm room. YOU WILL SURVIVE. Enjoy life in college because it will the best. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!How difficult is college life? will i survive?
    Yes you will survive. Just remember to breath in, breath out, and smile. It has always been my experience that whenever I have taken on something bigger than I thought I could handle, I have succeeded. Your potential probably far exceeds the limitations you place on yourself. Just take one step after another, and don't worry too much about all that stuff. I am 7 years out of my university years and looking back I realize there was never any need to feel anxious about anything I felt stressed about. Enjoy your college years while you are in them. Focus on graduating and spending your post college years further developing your interests and integrating into the work world.
    TCU is an outstanding business program. Great entrepreneurship program there. You will be fine, don't sweat your GPA. In college, if you just go to class no matter what (even when you are sick), you will be fine. That is the best advice anyone ever gave me, and I promise you it will make your life so much easier. GO TO CLASS! College is easy if you go to class, do the work, and approach it with the attitude that you are there to learn.
    I too was a transfer student from a Jr. college to a university and it was a big change. Yes, you will survive! It may overwelm you in the begining but you will get used to it.

    I need acts of violence that created major social change.?

    We are doing a project of the 20th century and for every twenty year span, we are to write a paper about a topic. I chose violence.



    Does anyone know acts of violence and how they changed the social climate in the United States?I need acts of violence that created major social change.?
    mafia/mob (creating a slew of social laws)



    race related crime (we implimented hate crime laws)



    entitlement crimes in economic downturns (this seems constant, and the same situation occurs each ';crisis'; most recently seen during the race riots in CA, and during Katrina



    kidnappings took a spike in the eighties, changing the way we alert people, to help find the victims, this also changed social behaviors the most (in my opinion) because when this crime again took a downturn (it is rare for a stranger to kidnap a child now) parents still sequestered their children (and still do)



    and ritual abuse took a spike between the seventies and the nineties (cults, etc) {I am not sure if this caused a social change, as it appears that we went back to the Constitution on this one {militia outside the US government}



    other crimes like murder seem to grow with the population, but stay comparatively the same



    gang violence has been spiking since the eighties (not mafia, children, and adult gangs) (social changes in laws, and actual human behavior, from creating new laws and working on prevention, but also human social behavior has been affected, from acceptance and extreme fear, to moving out of affected areas)



    women have been murdering for a long time on massive levels, but the defined examples are just now hitting the forefront of the media (research munchausen, munchausen by proxy) but so far this has not really changed social behavior that I have seen, as women are still seen as victims, rather than criminals...



    for example:



    Mary Ann Cotton was not considered a serial killer, but she murdered between 15 and 21 family members with poison



    Beverly Allitt murdered four children, and tried to kill 9 more before she was caught, she was also not called a serial killer, and was defined under munchausen by proxyI need acts of violence that created major social change.?
    Hate crimes ....um.....k.k.k. attacks.... um..... James Byrd ...(in 1990's he was a black man and his death was really tragic) even president clinton contacted the family ..and it changed a town and the nation a bit .. ....and... Columbine High school.... in 99.. the shooting
    you could talk about spectacle lynchings (white men hanging black men) that happend in the early 1920s.



    White men would hang black men in the center of town and entire city blocks would come out to see the hanging. It caused hundreds of race riots and lead to sundown-towns (google James Lowen and Sundown towns) and later segregation across the USA.
