For context, I’ve taken the highschool levels of Chem/Bio and I absolutely hated both classes. I’m just not interested in those sciences at all, however bad that might sound lol. For the next two years, I’m planning on doing Calc-based physics 1&2 as DE courses. My school offers AP chem and bio, but I decided not to take either because Physics is more relevant to my intended major and also makes…
I’m an aspiring engineering major and junior year I got a 4 on AP physics despite finishing with an A+ in the class. I’ve heard conflicting opinions on the differences between how colleges look at a 4 verse a 5. I know it’s generally not a big deal but considering it’s so related to my major and I’m applying to top engineering schools (G tech, Purdue, Michigan) will these schools scrutinize this?…
Nursing is the second most impacted major on college campuses nationwide and California BSN programs have very few seats for the number of applicants. At UCLA the most selective major is nursing with a 0.5% admit rate. Competition for the few CSU BSN program seats is high. Traditional programs admit few from pre-nursing to the nursing major and often prioritize admission of students from local…

My friend's college counselor said this but I wasn't sure that this was true. And honestly, it would save me time only having all of my colleges on common app and not having to refill ALL of my information on ApplyTexas for college applications. It's also just nice having all of my schools in one spot, but I also do want to save money for all of my Texas schools. submitted by /u/user_98797 [link]…
a lot of people i know end up getting research opportunities where their parents literally are professors at, or hospital shadowing opportunities where their parents are doctors there... since common app makes u put where ur parents work, are they able to tell if someone got an internship/ research thing through their parents/ nepotism? if so, how would that opportunity look? it's not fair on the…

I'm stuck between two different colleges that I'm considering. The first one is located in my area so I get to commute easily. The second one isn't located in my area, but they offered me more monetary value in scholarships compared to the scholarships I got from the first college. I don't plan on going in-person to the second one because I don't want to pay for room and board nor be away from my…
