Q: What should I do, full scholarship to Mississippi College School of Law or no scholarship to Baylor Law?
I have a full scholarship at Mississippi College School of Law and no scholarship at Baylor Law School. I really like Baylor but not Waco, I am from Jackson where MC is at. I just want some advice from someone at MC Law or Baylor Law or who has been there. Baylor costs about $40,000 a year MC costs $27,000 a year, Baylor has a 100% bar passage rate at times, MC is in the 80% range

A: The easiest method to find out info is to contact a student. You can find some contact information for Mississippi colleges here. http://www.collegereviewed.com/Mississippi-Colleges-Universities.html Students always to know what's up since they spend so much time on campus.

Q: What high school/college classes should I take to become a television producer?
What classes in high school and college are the best classes to take to become a television producer? Also, what is the best college to attend to achieve this career?

A: I'm not able to specifically give you advice because your goal of being a "TV Producer" is too vague. There are a lot of different kinds of programming on television and each requires different kinds of Producers who have different qualifications and experience. Also realize that most University courses and other workshops aren't necessarily designed to teach you the realities of creating a career in the professional film and television industry. The best thing you can do is learn how the industry actually works so that you are able to make wiser choices, including which school to attend and how to proceed on your own from there. A diploma or certificate will NOT help you "get" a job. I've listed some excellent resources below that will help you get a start at understanding what you should know and what your life will be like as a Producer. Start with those in your spare time. For schooling, don't worry about "film" school. As a Producer, you'll have more success by concentrating on any courses about business, money, investing, law, communications, public speaking, and logic. As you can tell, most of these have very little to do with creative aspects and more to do with the logistics that it takes to run a business, which essentially, is what making a movie really is. As a Producer, you are in charge of making a producer, one solitary product, that costs a lot of money and involves a lot of skilled people who deal with the creative, technical, and logistic aspects of creating a movie. As you look for universities, don't worry too much about their Film and TV programs (similar curriculum). Again, as a Producer, you need to know about the creative and technical aspects of film and television production, but you'll be concentrating on the logistics which involve money, scheduling, and legal issues. Some of the "better" filmschools will offer some semblance of those, but it is up to you to investigate so that you are spending your own money wisely. Remember, when you go to college, YOU are the consumer and it is up to you to know that you are investing your own money (tuition and fees) wisely so that you are learning what YOU need to know so that you can build a career. Also realize that a degree WILL NOT "get" you a job in the TV and film industry. Careers are built on who you know and what you can do. School will give you the tools, but it will be up to you to work your way up the ladder at a studio or production company... or to find a project that you produce (likely for a low budget) and establish yourself as a Producer right away. For a LOT more about the specifics of what a Producer must know, I urge you to look at the resources listed below. Good luck!

Q: In the business world, are you judged by what school you went to before transferring to a 4-year college?
I want to attend a 4-year university in the long run. But, I know of the option to attend my local community college for the 2 years of basic classes. I would do this to save money, but I don't want to get turned down for a job because I went there. So-the question- do you get jobs based on ALL the schools you went to? Would my community college schooling matter?

A: It depends. At most places - it wont make one whit of difference. At places like highly prestigious law firms that like to hire Harvard graduates etc it may. Bottom line - don't worry about it - the very few places where it may matter are too few to be concerned about. Thanks Bill

Q: What are my chances to play high school, college golf?
What are my chances to play high school, college golf? I am 14 years old, Freshman in high school. I practice on the range every day for 4-5 hours with 1 hour of short game/bunker practice. Also another hour for putting. My handicap is a 12 right now. The handicap should go down because I am planning on getting a few lessons.I practice alot and am playing way better and consistantly. My only down side is I'm pretty small and can only drive about 225-235 yards. I started lifting weights however so I should get stronger. I also am going to use the Momentus Power Hitter to build up my clubhead speed. I go to De La Salle High School in California. Their Varsity golf team won the state championship last year but I'm only trying for J.V. or Freshman. Oh yeah, I've only been playing for 8 months.

A: You've got what it takes, self motivated, desire to succeed. Any HS coach would love to have someone like you on the team! The lessons are a great idea because practicing the wrong swing can be bad for your game. Don't worry about your size, look at Mike Weir, he's an excellent golfer, but small in stature. The distance will improved, just be patient and keep working.

Q: How can someone still get their ged if they are over the age of 18? Should they try an adult school? College?
Just wondering how someone over the age of 18 can get their ged, should they try a local adult school? Maybe a nearby community college? Or can they try a high school? My brother is 20 and still hasn't been able to get his ged, he dropped out and wants to get his ged now. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

A: Good for ur brother n u r on the right track for getting started with this. Ur bro should be able the sign up for ged classes at an adult school or community college in ur area. He will get a course requirement book, take classes and need to do some study on his own. Then he will be require d to test out. it is a crash course really of general education covered throughout high school but since ur brother is still young the old info he already knows should help him. If he is dedicated to finishing he should have little to no problem finishing that ged. Tell ur bro good luck!

Q: Whats the difference between College, graduate school, undergraduate school?
I just dont get it!.. I always thought it went Highschool, then either University or College.. then bam your done? Now I find out there theres something called Graduate school? How is that different from University or College?

A: In the USA, college and university both refer to the level of education beyond high school. Universities tend to be more prestigious than colleges and many are larger than colleges. Graduate and undergraduate school are both included under the umbrella terms of college or university. Undergraduate school lasts for up to 4 years, at which point your would get your Bachelor's degree. Most people do stop, either temporarily or forever, after the Bachelor's degree. If you want to go on for a Master's of Doctorate, you would go to graduate school. (If you go to a 2-year college for an Associate's degree, that's also undergraduate.)

Q: Why do community colleges ask for high school/college transcripts?
Why do community colleges ask for high school/college transcripts for transfers? Don't they only want a high school diploma? Will the gpa count?

A: Here is one explanation: Transferring from another accredited college or university Advanced Standing Applicants in good standing from other accredited colleges or universities are accepted for admission if their work at prior institutions meets the standards established by Pasadena City College. Official transcripts of college and high school records are required. They want to see if you are in good standing, and the counselors also want to get an idea of what your class placement should be.

Q: This is my last year in school and,I need help on finding a college right for me.Can u please help me find it?
I need your help on a good college school.

A: OSU Buckeyes #1 buts that's just my byes opinion. Think of first whats important to you. (ie, close to home, far from home, major, athletics) Then see what the tuition costs are and see if it is even feasible for you to go to that college. Once you get all that out of the way and have it narrowed down to a couple go take tours of them and see which one you are the most comfortable with. Good luck and have fun!

Q: Does attending a prestigious college (art school) really matter?
I am planning to go to art school and cannot decide between San Francisco Art Institute and Pacific Northwest College of Art. PNCA tuition is half the amount of SFAI's, but SFAI is prestigious and considered one of the top art schools in the country. Does it pay to attend a prestigious school and what are my benefits or pitfalls of going/not attending?

A: If SFAI is a prestigious school you should go there. Remember that there are student loans and scholarships. You should try, maybe if it's too much you know you can transfer to another school.

Q: What English and Math subjects are covered on the Hunter COllege High School admissions test?
My daughter is going to be taking the Hunter College High School test in Jan 2008. I want to help her prepare for the test but I am not sure what to concentrate on.

A: Well, there's the reading comprehension questions for English, so make sure your daughter reads sufficiently. They're a little harder than the typical statewide-type questions, so her choices should ABOVE her reading level to challenge her. Make sure she knows her grammar, and her vocabulary's above average for her age. Math problems require mostly just practice, so get her a book of maybe 7th or 8th grade level math problems. She should be able to perform algebra and a little geometry. There's also an essay part, where you write a one-to-two-page personal essay about a specific topic they give. Every year it's different. For example, they may ask what your favorite age was, or what you think it'd be like to be blind. Make sure she knows to format it with intro, body paragraphs, and conclusion, and to have a thesis. Good luck to her! Hunter's a great school.

Q: What do universities look at when you're a college/high school student?
I'm a junior at an early college program and I'm taking high school and community college classes. I'm gonna apply to University of Texas next year, but will they look at my high school or college transcripts??

A: they look at both hun xo

Q: Do I need to attend college or a school to become a veteranarian?
I have found an online course that allows me to be a veteranarian assistant. I know that doesn't make me an official veteranarian, but could the assisant position lead me to become an official veteranarian? I didn't want to have to attend a college or school, and thought there might be another way. I'm also hoping this will lead me to becoming an HLE officer. Thanks in advance to any help given! Oh, I also live in PA. if that helps any.

A: You have to go to 4 years of college, then 3 years of vet school to be a vet. No way around it, and no you can't get promoted from a vet tech to a vet. After all, vets diagnose animals, prescribe medication, and do surgery--of course you have to go to school for that! Would you want a vet working on your animal who didn't go to school?

Q: I started to work with a College school. I get so nervous which i have see people who wants to become a studen
I just started to work with the school i granduate from i get so nervous all the time. I don't know what to do or say i just get nervous. Help

A: im sure you're absolutely capable of handling such situations and without which, your college wouldnt have employed you. :) all you have to do is, be calm and face up to the tasks/challenges. Once you get used to it, a few days maybe, you will feel more confident in what you do and teach. and there you go, you'd be enjoying every bit of your time from then on.. so just give it time, get used to it, enjoy every time and smile. :)
