20s (age): Is 22 considered "old" for an undergraduate college student?
Heck no. 21 is about the age of an average college senior yes, but not everyone starts at the same time and not everyone finishes in 4 years. I would say that if you are between the ages of 18 and 26, you are fine. Older than that and you may be in a different place in life than your peers.The old guy in class is the person over age 30 with a family of his/her own. The reason these people come back to school is usually because they can a.) Afford it or b.) Are here to advance in their field.Usually they stand put because they tend to take every detail of the class extremely seriously when compared to their laid back peers.Not to say regular students don't take it seriously, but the old guy in class tends to be a be taking classes while also working his regular job and living a life outside school. Many full time students are just that: students full time. There is a stark difference and you can always tell when someone is older.
In a college, 15 times as many undergraduate students than graduate students are enrolled. If the total?
Let x = no. of graduate students 15x + x = 10,000 16x = 10,000 x = 10,000/16 x = 625 There are 625 graduate students
What the hell is a "college thesis" (for undergraduate schools)?
Usually recommended for those desiring grad school entry as it's looked upon favorably (grades are often not enough in many programs). Also some colleges offer honor programs (i.e. you will graduate "with honors" and it's an official title, not just made-up). These programs usually require a thesis to be written.
What undergraduate community college courses do you need to take to become a Neonatologist ?
Hi Christina, You cannot become a neonatologist by attending community college and to become a neonatologist you need to be accepted into a neonatology residency program after completing medical school. If you are looking to go to medical school then I would strongly encourage you to go to a four year university for your pre-med studies and not start out at a community college for pre-med. Reason why I say this is community colleges are seen as being easier thereby leading to inflation of your GPA and this may work against you when you apply to medical school especially if your GPA is marginal. Also you may find that not all of your classes transfer, in particular science courses that do not have labs associated with them, when you apply to a four year university to complete your pre-med studies and this may add additional time to your studies. My advice to you would be to do your pre-med studies at a four university..
To what extent does your undergraduate college have an influence on med school acceptances?
For the large majority of applicants, the college attended is secondary to GPA, MCAT, research, letters of recommendation, and some other intangibles.Admissions deans would like some diversity in applicants and that includes colleges and majors. I know several savvy doctors who sent their premed kids to small liberal arts colleges where, of course, they excelled in their science classes, had many opportunities to contribute to research, gathered outstanding letters of recommendation from professors that knew them well, and then went to prestigious medical schools. Of course they had reasonable MCAT scores also.Compare that to going to UCLA or Duke with a very competitive premed student body and trying to find mentors, lab space, and standing out enough to get great letters.The top students are pretty much going to get in. The next tier of students might do better and have more opportunity at smaller less competitive schools and selecting majors that are not the standard biology, etc.
What colleges have the best undergraduate economics programs?
I am currently a junior and I think I want to major in Economics when I am in college. I want to go to a college with fairly warm weather, so the colleges I am currently considering are: Emory, Claremont McKenna, Georgetown, George Washington, American, University of Richmond, Pitzer. How do these schools rank for undergraduate economic programs? Also, does anyone know where to find a list of college rankings according to major?
What are some affordable, high-quality, undergraduate colleges abroad for Indian students?
Answering because I was asked to.Firstly, I would define what constitutes affordable for you. For some, affordable is an Audi R8. For others, affordable is a Tata Nano.Assuming you lie near the latter end of the spectrum I described, I would ask you to refrain from getting your UG degree in the US. A UG degree takes 4 years, and at the bare minimum it'll cost you at least 10-15 lakhs a year, including cost of living, tuition, etc. I would advise, as I'm sure many others would, to get your UG degree in India, and then opt for a Masters degree in the US/EU, depending on your field of study1. You're a Computer Science studentUS is the destination for you. I am currently in the process of applying for Fall '15 in the US, and my budget for a 2 year Masters course is in the range of 25-30 lakhs. That is still restrictive for me, as costs can often reach 40 lakhs if you are admitted to a University that is good, but also expensive. Or you get a good uni which is cheap but the city is costly, like New York.I will assume the following graduation criteria for you:65-70% graduate from Mumbai Univ or equivalent.GRE score of 310+TOEFL score of 95+1-2 extra curriculars, decent SoP, LoRsI would recommend the following universities: State Uni of New York (SUNY) Stony Brook, Arizona State University (ASU), North Carolina State University (NCSU), SUNY Buffalo, University of Illinois Chicago, Indiana Uni Bloomington, Texas A&M University College Station. There are many others, which you can find by joining a number of groups on FB, most notably this group -> Facebook2. You're NOT a Computer Science student.The opportunities still abound in the US, but if you're a Mechanical Engg student, look no further than Germany. It will offer you the highest quality education in all fields related to Mechanical and Automobiles at dirt cheap costs, with tremendous amount of opportunities. Courses are in only German, only English, and a mix of German and English. Other universities worth mentioning are University of Vienna in Austria, ETH Zurich, Ecole Polytechnic in Switzerland. There is also a college in Belgium whose name I don't recollect.Abroad, there is nothing affordable. We have to work and make it so once we graduate. Once again, I would advise against getting a UG abroad, and advise a Masters degree instead. Cheers.
