A. You can major in any undergraduate degree of study if you want to go to law school. I suggest majoring in a course of study that is easy for you so you can get a high GPA. Law schools only look at GPA and LSAT score. So if you study English and get a 3.9 GPA, you are in better condition than someone who studied Biochemical Engineering at Cornell with a 2.5 GPA (assuming the LSAT score is the same).

how many faculty departments don't need to secure any funding?
Q. for example, philosophy and english professors don't need any funding to conduct advanced research because their research just involves going to the library. what other academic departments are like this?
Asked by worldpeace - Tue Sep 19 21:08:49 2006 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Actually, faculty department do have to secure grant funding. In academia, it is "publish or perish." To do so, much research is needed, sometimes in other countries. Also, the state does not totally fund a university, so grants assist in paying for overhead (electricity, etc.). Every seven years, professors are eligible for a sabbatical. They can take one-half or one full year to study in their field. This takes money, and here again the grants come into play. Grants fund their travel.

They give ranking, acceptance rates, reviews, number of students, male to female ratio, faculty ratio, etc You have to pay for a subscription to get the real indepth stuff from them, but there is a part called "at a glance" that allows you to see a few various facts and information that can be helpful. Most news stands also carry their magazine, which has the top 300 schools in the US (i believe), I found it REALLY helpful. You can have a look for yourself :) there's a search portion so you can look up your schools.

What are graduate school comprehensive exams like?
Q. I know that some graduate programs require the completion of a comprehensive exam. What are comps like? I hear about them, but never heard anything about the format or the exams. Are they created by the academic departments, can they be multiple choice, or written. I'm just trying to get an understanding of what comps entail? I am wondering what happens when a student doesn't pass. I am assuming that they won't receive their degree since it's a part of the program.

I took the comps a few years ago in my program (physics) and they consisted of 5 hours of tests per day over 3 days testing 4 major subject areas I had taken undergrad and graduate courses on - problems designed to make you not only demonstrate what you remember from the courses but to take it to the next level on most of the questions by interpreting the results in specific situations or show how they relate to other subfields.

I know of one in Rhode Island named The New School of Classical Art. Web site- danalevin.com. It is a very focused education, you will work hard and get results in painting and drawing that there is no way you could get in a regular art school. In ateliers you get individual attention from you instructor, you get to see how they work and run their studio. For someone who wants to be a painter- in my opinion- it is the only way to go.

In any case first world culture owes a great deal to the achievements of dead white males so it is not surprising that their stories are well represented in history classes.

Do you think college is a waste of time and money?
Q. Especially the bigger colleges like Harvard, UMich, Yale, etc.? I have seen so many bright students from these schools have the cards stacked against them. The systems at these schools, and many other four-year colleges are set up to funnel many bright students into liberal arts fields, where they find out upon graduation that no one will hire them. Meanwhile, I've seen so many high school grads and community college grads get great jobs. Is it time for those college magazines and books to recommend universities and colleges focused on preparing students for the job market, rather than those concerned about their academic reputation and liberal arts departments?

Q. Especially the bigger colleges like Harvard, UMich, Yale, etc.? I have seen so many bright students from these schools have the cards stacked against them. The systems at these schools, and many other four-year colleges are set up to funnel many bright students into liberal arts fields, where they find out upon graduation that no one will hire them. Meanwhile, I've seen so many high school grads and community college grads get great jobs. Is it time for those college magazines and books to recommend universities and colleges focused on preparing students for the job market, rather than those concerned about their academic reputation and liberal arts departments?

A. I have a Bachelor degree and am going for my Masters after having taken a 3 year break. For years I wondered if it had been worth the time and money I spent on college, since I was unable to find a job related to my field.

I'm looking for a college with the following characteristics.?
Q. Near large city Small campus feel, but could be large campus Many scholarships available Many extracurricular activities- music, writing, political groups Not centered around sports Great academic departments Offering majors in economics, international business, political science, government, or chemistry Good foreign language dept. Study abroad opportunities All suggestions are appreciated. If you could give reasons why you suggested the school, that'd be great. In case this is helpful: unweighted 4.0; weighted is about a 4.3 gpa act 28- taken as a freshman Haven't taken SAT yet Lots of extracurriculars and volunteering plus I have a job

A. I'm basically a breathing advertisement for the school, but Washington U. in St. Louis is a great school- it definitely fits all of the requirements (although I'm not sure how good their foreign language department is, but its by no means 'bad') The school is near the city of St. Louis, but actually isn't in it- its in a wealthy suburb. The campus isn't huge but its not small, but its gorgeous. Presuming you're a candidate that they want, I hear they Fin Aid office is fantastic (and the scholarship programs are pretty good too.) The school definitely isn't centered around sports, its much more academic. The teams are all D3 (mens basketball was the 2008 D3 champions) but the school by no means is sports crazy. I don't know how accessible… [cont.]
