I am currently a freshman in high school, so I know I have a ways to go before college, but I am VERY interested in Stanford. I want to be a doctor and I REALLY want to go Stanford. I am a straight A student, play varsity sports, am on student council, and in Campus Ministry, but what will give me that extra edge to apply and get into such an elite school like Stanford? Any advice or tips on increasing my chance getting into Stanford?

Thanks!

I agree with what Tina T said. You’re still a freshman which means you have lots of time to prepare for the application process, so I would recommend looking for ways that could set you apart from the thousands of other equally academically-qualified candidates. Just think…what can you do that will make the AO’s remember you and your application? That’s perhaps the most important aspect of improving your chances at elite schools like Stanford, since almost all applicants will have high GPA and standardized test scores. But of course, also place emphasis on academics.

As for the second response, I’m pretty sure the average GPA for accepted freshman is not 4.77. Stanford may be selective, but that’s just ridiculous. Even Harvard is not going to be that picky. The middle 50% range of ACT scores (meaning 25% score lower and higher this range of numbers) for Stanford freshmen is 29-33, so the average is definitely not 34. On a last note, Stanford may be one of the most selective colleges in the country, but plenty of people with perfect ACT or SAT scores get rejected. That should give you a clue about what they’re looking for in a candidate.

2009 SCEA (Single Choice Early Action) applicants have already gotten their results back, and I know several who were highly qualified by academic standards but were still rejected. Sometimes these admission processes are based on a little bit of luck, but also on how good your application is compared to others.

Good luck and work hard!

I’m not looking for ivy league or schools like that. Just the average gpa that is okay to get into a state college (not community college). And I know gpa is not the main factor that can get me into a college. I do alot of ec’s and I take ap courses and I do sports.

Dee,
you need to beware that colleges and universities are being very selective in the students that they accept because the job market is so poor. There is more competition to get into universities now and the universities are choosing more diversified students (culturally, economically and extra curricular activities, as well as volunteerism).

Im thinking about buying a house in Homestead, FL, outside the air base. Before I go jumping into murky water, I want to be sure of what I am getting into.

Costs of home ownership vary depending on many factors, the importance of which are in order below:

1. Costs of borrowing the money (mortgage) needed to purchase the property. This can be easily estimated by contacting your loan agent and identifying the approximate cost of your monthly house payment. Make sure the loan agent includes the principal portion ("P"), interest portion ("I"), taxes ("T" and insurance ("I") plus any association dues that might be applicable to the property.

2. How much money you will need to "close" your deal. This is the money that you will be paying directly–not borrowing–in order to purchase your home. It is generally referred to as "down payment" and "closing costs". Many buyers–especially first-time buyers–are not aware of the additional costs needed to pay at the closing of the purchase that is in addition to the "down payment". This can be several thousand dollars, depending on the price range of the home (typically 2% of the purchase price is a common allocation amount, for closing costs).

3. MIP – "Mortgage Insurance Protection". This is additional insurance that is charged to a borrower when the borrower has less than 20% of their own money into the deal (i.e. if you want to buy a $100,000 home and are not putting down $20,000 or more, you will probably incur MIP). I just closed a deal with new buyers yesterday on a $156,000 home and they were charged $2300 up front for MIP. They could have "financed it" into an increased mortgage amount but they decided to pay it up-front to avoid having interest charged on that amount, and a higher house payment.

4. Operating Costs of a Home – these include things such as (a) property taxes; (b) house insurance premiums (both of these are usually collected as part of your monthly house payment); (c) utilities costs (electricity, gas, water, etc) which vary according to location; (d) maintenance (i.e. the furnace breaks and needs repairs, water heater goes out, etc). It’s hard to estimate the costs resulting from maintenance as again this depends on location and other factors such as the age of the home and condition of the major systems, appliances, etc. Most new-purchase opportunities allow for purchase of a home warranty program that, for a few dollars’ deductible ($70-$100 per occurance) allow you to have peace of mind for the first year of ownership. The warranty generally covers repair/replacement of any covered item (and most of the major items are covered) as long as you pay the deductible for each issue. Most carriers even allow you to extend the insurance past the one-year anniversary via payment of an additional premium.

So basically only the utilities and maintenance costs are variables. The other costs can be fairly accurately estimated by your real estate agent, insurance agent, loan officer and others involved in your transaction. Keep in mind that in most cases, homeownership does offer federal tax advantages, in terms of writing off your interest costs (and some loan fees at the time you borrow), making for a tax shelter for most folks.

A lot of people get into the horse business or horse ownership as a "family" thing. The generations before them had horses, and now they too own horses. I’m sure most of their knowledge comes from learning by hand.

But some other people (like myself) do not get this opportunity. My grandparents owned horses, but my parents did not. So that "hands-on" learning that goes on for generations stopped.
Right now I’m still in High School but plan on owning a horse or more in the future. I’ve taken equine science/management classes, and work with large animals like cattle (not that their care is alike!).
And as weird as it sounds- I think I am going too far with learning and reasearch.

So have you horse owners learned what you know from childhood, learned about the subject then got into horses, or just got horses and learned as you go?

I always loved horses, but was only able to ride trails occasionally as a child, and took lessons for a very short time. I bought a horse when I was about 30, and that was a disaster, as the horse was, "hot". My daughter also picked up the love of horses, and wanted to ride, or buy a pony. We did buy a pony, but didn’t know that much about horses. The kids enjoyed riding her, but she soon became unmanageable, because adults could not ride her. Finally, after selling the pony, my daughter (still intent on the whole horse thing), decided to take lessons. This helped her to learn the basics about riding, basics about horses, do a little showing, etc. I still was uncomfortable bridling a horse, saddling a horse, etc.

The best thing to do is find a barn with a very good trainer. You might even like to watch some of the lessons they are giving other people. Do a little checking to find out who is considered good. A person giving lessons can simply have a horse ready for you to ride, give you a lesson while they are talking to other people, and pay little attention to you, or your actual progress. Find someone who is interested in teaching you about riding, fundamentals of bridling, saddling, and horse safety. Often, a smaller private barn will provide a little more hands-on time, than a larger barn that has a production line of people going through, lesson after lesson. They are not necessarily "bad", but you may not learn as much with them, as someone who can spend a little time with you. Also make sure they are a good rider. Have they been showing their horses, or do their students show at shows other than just their own barn shows? This is not a necessity, but it might show that they are interested in getting better in order to be good enough to do well at shows. You would do well to do anywhere from 6 months of lessons to even a couple of years of lessons with a good trainer, before buying a horse. This does a lot of things for you, including allowing you to ride more than one horse, which is very good for you. Then, if you do decide to buy a horse, make sure you have a very experienced person helping you make your decision, because you can get a horse that is not trained well, too much horse for you, or simply of ill health, which is very difficult to discern. Never purchase a horse without a VET CHECK. The money spent on a vet check can save you more than you might even spend on the horse, and lots of heartache, if the horse is not even rideable, and you have to resell it, perhaps with no success. Get to know horse people, and consider joining a 4H club, because the people in these clubs are usually very helpful, and know quite a lot. These are usually good contacts. Good luck.

So I want to get into drama class, and I talked to a counselor about it. Basically it’s too late, and I won’t get the credit for it.

But the thing is, my friend says that I really haven’t missed anything, and joining should be no problem, especially since I don’t care about not getting the credit. Is it possible to get the teacher for the drama class to help persuade the counselor?

Yeah. That’s what I did with Computer Science.

The teacher just told the counselor that he had no problem accepting me in the class, and next day, I was in it!!

I’m starting student teaching the 3rd week of January. I want to send out as many applications as I can and hopefully get a full-time job by the fall for the next school year.

I’m geographically mobile, so that’s not really a problem. How far into student teaching is it appropriate to begin sending out applications? How long do I have to wait to get a letter of recommendation from my co-op teacher? Until the end?

It’s never to early to start applying for a teacher jobs. Look into different school districts and see if they have an annual job fair, usually in March. If you don’t have all your letters of recommendation by then, you can still go for an initial interview. Recruiters understand that you are still in school. My roommate was hired without all her letters of rec, because she hadn’t finished her student teaching. I would start sending out applications, etc. by February, no later. Keep in mind that teachers usually have to hand in their intent to return forms by April, so shortly after that, start sending resume’s to individual schools. That way, your name starts getting out to places and is fresh in principals minds, when they start to think about hiring.

In my story people can turn into a specific animal. I can’t think of an animal the evil MC should turn into. The animals they turn into should reflect their personality. My character worships ice and death, he’s just evil; no other way to put it. So what kind of animal should he turn into?
PS His name is Skadi.

You should make him a snake or vulture.

I’m born into christianity, but I’ve given it a lot of thought and I really want to convert into buddhism. I feel that it’s the right path for me in life, and I want to follow it. However, I can’t find much information on how I officially convert into buddhism. Can someone give me some information about this?

I checked my local phone book. Even though Buddhism is not technically a religion, they had a listing under "Churches – Buddhist", which would give you a chance to talk to some real live people. Good luck! I’m agnostic, but I really try to follow Buddhist philosophy as I understand it.

Can you get into the military if you had not completed the last year and half of highschool?

You can get into the Military with a GED. What you need to do is this – first Go sign up for GED classes. Go there for at least a month, depending on how smart you are, you could have your GED before then, if not, then go there until you think you are ready to take the test. Contact your recruiter at that point and tell him you have made appointment to take the GED test. You can still complete half the recruiting process – which is – PT test, MEPS, and ASVAB, in fact sometimes they let you sign a contract as long as you are on your way to get your GED< just call the recruiter when you have sign up for classess
