Hello everyone! I'm a 19 yr old community college student aiming to transfer to a UC, Cal State, or even NYU (if I miraculously earn a full ride scholarship haha). I've looked up the prerequisites on a couple of top notch medical schools and I would ...

Anytime direw0lf!

Hello, I'm a community college student who's worried about my class schedule. The first day of the fall 2017 semester is on Monday 8/28. I am not confident in my abilities now that I think about it. I will be taking (in this order): Trigonometry, Hon...

Thank you LovingPeds. I wish the best of luck to you too. Let's get this work haha... As for Lovinglife, Trigonometry is a prerequisite. And honors statistics isn't your ordinary statistics class. It is considered more in depth than the ordinary stat...

Greetings! I'm facing the dilemma of possibly trying to transfer to UCLA and pursue a Bsn or transfer to USC while pursuing a different major. USC have been my dream school since my junior year of high school. I would tell peers and classmates that o...

Good points. I'm learning! In addition, I'm in the honors program. However, I won't get priority consideration when applying as a nursing major. USCs Law school is superb as well as their engineering program. I'm a prospective nursing club member at ...

Woah that's very interesting! Your story gives me hope. That totally helped shift my perspective. After reading these helpful comments by everyone on this thread I must say I'm definitely not comfortable being in debt. Unless if I were to earn an ath...

Congratulations direw0lf! (-: I'm truly inspired to do the same! I know that it definitely isn't a walk in the park. If I may ask, how was your study schedule like? Is discipline key to getting good grades? And did you have free time? If so, how much...

I'm sorry lady! I felt the urge to protect my aspirations and such. I apologize for that. I really appreciate your concern. It's a lot of info to take in let alone the emotional distress by the thought of giving up my other aspirations. This is somet...

I took intermediate algebra in a 5 week winter session and earned a B. So study! Make a study schedule now throughout the semester and stick to it. I'm taking 2 math classes and 2 science courses this Fall so don't feel alone in this.

Hmm. I see! Thank you all for your insights! I have a counseling appointment Monday and I'll give an update on how it goes (-:

In other words, they completed their requisites while pursuing a nursing degree? So it is possible? O: Do you happen to know what grades did they earn? Because I am aware that med schools are competitive and is a different path. Thanks in advance

Thank you! I'll likely have to choose one field and go with it so that I may excel. I'll see

Woah now I have a better understanding of how debt could hinder me in the long run. Indeed it probably wouldn't make sense if I pursue premed at USC when I could do that elsewhere for a much cheaper price while still getting quality education. Don't ...

Again, I cleared that up in one of my recent comments mentioning reality check.Thanks though However I thought about it as an investment in my future because NYU would be a totally different college experience like no other. (Its location & oppor...

Nursing is the only major that interests me so that should say something about me. It's just that I'm so sad USC doesn't offer a BSN. I'm going for PAC12 schools if you haven't noticed other than NYU. Yes I know they're expensive. I thought about it ...

Then again there are athletic scholarships and other scholarships. But of course the odds aren't in my favor. And yes this " 'emotional appeal' " a school rich in history, tradition, and sports means a lot to me. In fact, I'm about to get ready to he...

I knew both USC and NYU are pricey however I planned on using loans if I chose one of them. I don't think of it as in debt but rather I think of it as an investment in my life! I want to get the most out of my education. I would need to speak in orde...

Thanks! It probably doesn't make sense to you but it makes perfect sense to me. I don't plan on going to Cal States. I didn't get a good GPA and get into the honors program for nothing

I just questioned myself tonight after looking at photos of future Trojans and transfer students getting accepted to USC. Their smiles and joy made me tear because I imagined me being that happy at USC since I was a junior in high school! However, I ...

Why not both? It has been done before. Talk to different counselors and see their intake on it. I am in the same dilemma, but I might as well be both. Why not?
