    Math help! When to round up.

    Music in My Heart replied to PICUFL's topic in General Students

    Music in My Heart replied to treeguy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For what it's worth, I had lots of B's and C's (and a few F's and some A's) as an undergrad long ago. Rather than retaking all of those classes, I took new ones and did really well. It got me into a...

    Being a man appears to be more of an asset than a liability. If nothing else, it helps set you apart a little during the admissions process. Being gay also seems to be a non-issue. Of the 4 male...
