California voters elected an actor to run the state government. Did you expect something better to happen?

My school had intermediate algebra as a prereq so I had to take beginner's algebra and the intermediate algebra. Really you don't need anything more than beginner's algebra to get through statistics. If you take a placement test then you may be able ...

Same at my school. The professors make big threats about what will happen if people are caught cheating or plagiarizing and they never follow through. Many teachers claim that if you're caught cheating that they will give you an F for the course or d...

Last year a couple people cheated on an exam in my Statistics class. I notified the professor and the dean of the school and the professor was forced to make the entire class retake the test...

You should drop Micro. 3-4 hours a day is probably enough to cover A&P only.

I used flash cards a lot during the first month of class to help me memorize terms like body regions and one-word definitions. After the first month the flash cards weren't helping

on a non-test week i studied for around 20-25 hours per week. on a test-week i studied around 25-30 hours during the week. i got an a in the class. the people in my class who made an a were the people who live, eat, and breath anatomy. when we slept,...

Whether you get FAFSA money or pay out of pocket has nothing to do with advisors. It's not like they get a commission. At any rate, the college gets the same amount of money whether you pay out of pocket or through FAFSA. Not sure why you mention thi...

I don't think most doctors have a GPA that high. The requirements to get into CSU nursing are just incredible...

I wasn't suggesting withholding any information. If the nursing school requires transcripts from all prior schools, even if you didn't get a degree, then obviously you have to provide it. The school I'm looking at doesn't have anything like that on t...

Lol. Which law did I break exactly?

Based on what I've heard from people who've been accepted, and from talking to the advisers at some CSU schools, you need a 3.50 to even be considered for acceptance and a 3.75 if you want a good chance of getting in.

Probably not

No it's not. My school records are confidential and I'm not obligated by any law, policy, or rule to share every school transcript with every other school I attend. You need to know what you're talking about before you spout words like "Fraud" around

Good luck!

At $35,000 per year plus the cost of housing and books? No thanks

I'd say community colleges are harder. Of course, it varies by professor.

I've simply stated my opinion. I don't believe that someone who passed a class should get to retake the class for a higher grade. It turns out that the California school system agrees with me since that is their written policy. Life happens, ok I get...

The best solution is to start over. I also had a similar experience as you. Went to college straight out of highschool and had something like a 2.0 GPA with at least one F on my transcript before I gave up. When I decided to go for nursing, I went to...

I work full time and go to class at night and on weekends. Last year I had to miss a week of classes because my baby was born in the middle of the spring semester and I spent a whole week in the hospital. Stuff happens to all of us and you have to de...

If life happens then you need to deal with it or drop the course and retake it next semester. In California colleges you're allowed to drop a course up until 75% of class meetings are completed. So for a 16 week class you can drop the course until th...

Every school I've looked at publishes a yearly course catalog. The first chapter of the course catalog usually has the school's policies including the policy on retaking classes. No need to even contact the school, just read the course catalog.

The standard for California colleges is to only allow you to repeat a class if you get a failing grade or if there is a significant lapse of time (like 5 or 10 years). The standard of transfer acceptance for California State University nursing school...

What's the point? Both grades will be on your transcript and the school you apply to may ignore the higher grade or average them together. Assuming they average them, a 3.0 and a 4.0 still makes a 3.5, hardly worth the time and effort of repeating th...

I bought the anatomy coloring book but I never used it because I don't see what the point of it is. You can buy mine if you really want it. I made my own flash cards, made my own notes and study material. Read the lecture, study the textbook, make yo...
