Can you go to one high school but play on another high schools sports team?
You can be Title IXd into a sport for the following reasons:Your school doesn’t offer the appropriately gendered team for you. You are legally allowed to play if you make the team. (ie, your school has men’s hockey, but you’re a strong female player)You attend a magnet school or homeschool that doesn’t offer your sport. My school didn’t offer cheerleading, so I cheered for another school.If your school doesn’t offer your sport, with consent of two principals, you can usually play for another school. That second school is typically your neighborhood high school. I know people who did that for swimming.
How good is CS at Florida International University? What's the CS program ranking in the US?
Since Prof. SS Iyengar became the Director of the School of Computer Science at FIU, the department has done extremely well. Prof. Iyengar is a world renowned professor and is both an ACM and IEEE Fellow. Since he joined in 2011 he has added faculty from top tier universities to some of the excellent faculty they already had. He has motivated the faculty and they are bringing in substantial amount of research dollars and also publishing in top tier venues. I believe that it will be a top tier CS department in the near future. Also being in Miami, together a medical school and a law school, the CS department at FIU has an outstanding future.
What are some great ideas for a new documentary?
Deeply buried in real work today - so you’re only get one - and no more - best idea(s).SO…. if your idea of a best idea for a documentary is that one year from now, you will be able to sell your documentary and have it talked about and have people want to see it - then you will need to figure out what people will be talking about one year from now.And while that might seem hard - you do have one advantage.Suppose you choose a red hot issue that is not going away soon and nobody yet knows how it will come out.Well, that might make a good doc because - right now - as a filmmaker - you simply don’t give a damn about who wins or loses.Because you will be shooting footage from every possible angle and every possible point of view. So that no matter what happens, you will have the winning side - and you will have the losing side- both equally covered.And even if there is no clear cut winner or loser - being the semi-benevolent media God that you are - you will pick the winner - and the loser.And there’s not a damned thing anyone can do.Because it is your documentary and only you are going to be in that editing room.
What are the best student organizations to join at the University of Miami? Why should students join them?
If you're looking for something business orientated, join Tamid.I founded and used to run the Financial side of the organisation. It was certainly my most significant experience in college (when I think about work acumen.)The organisation is split into two sides, finance and consulting. As a member you can switch between teams on both sides on a semesterly basis depending on how your interests align. We set the organisation up to give you the best chance of landing interviews in companies Miami students aren't meant to get interviews at. We’ve had lots of members land positions in Wall Street banks, top consulting agencies, and even private equity groups and hedge funds, right out of undergrad!We have hands down the best corporate relationships out of any Miami org. We host events for the likes of Accenture, Citi, Bloomberg, and McKinsey. We even had the ex CEO of Deloitte deliver a private talk for us.Tamid is extremely well run. I know all the people involved presently with the organisation and they are all fantastic students.One thing I would say though is that entry is extremely competitive. I've run recruitment cycles where we've accepted maybe 10 of 80ish applications. So make sure you try to network with current members, and that your resume looks professional!If you have any further questions feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn or Facebook.
