Q: College schools?
For example, if I'm planning to go to Oxford in England (during my college years), will they allow to let a student in who went to a public school in her high school years? Will they also give me an oppurtunity to get scholarship? Thanks for answering, people :)

A: I'm not 100% sure, and I'm in the U.S. but I think alot of nice schools would allow you to go in, if you have a really nice IQ and a good amount of money. Good Luck!

Q: Where can I find rankings of college level schools of music online?
I've seen a few college websites quote their so called ranking like "one of top 20 music schools in the country", but I've actually found any rank lists on-line. Also, I know Downbeat Magazine does rankings of Jazz programs, but I wasn't able to find them on thier website. Thanks for any insight. Thanks.

A: US News does a list for graduate schools. I think you now have to pay to get that info, though. Last I knew, the rankings near the top were: 1University of Rochester–Eastman School of Music (NY) 2Indiana University–Bloomington 2Juilliard School (NY) 4University of Michigan–Ann Arbor 5Curtis Institute of Music (PA) 6New England Conservatory of Music (MA) 6Northwestern University (IL) 6Oberlin College Conservatory (OH) 6University of Cincinnati 6University of Illinois–Urbana-Champaign 6Yale University (CT) 12Florida State University 12Manhattan School of Music (NY) 12University of Southern California 15Johns Hopkins University–Peabody (MD) 15University of North Texas This is not up-to-date, but it changes little from year to year. Bear in mind this is for GRADUATE programs, and is the overall rankings. Individual programs vary quite a bit. (UNT, where I teach, was number 1 in Jazz last time I checked, and only tied for 15th overall. Indiana, where I went to school, is number 1 in voice and opera, but tied for second overall.) Also, these rankings are highly subjective, and based on REPUTATION, which may or may not reflect the actual merits of these programs. I am often asked by students and their parents, "What's the best music school?" My answer is always, "The queston should be, 'What's the best music school FOR ME." Think about it.

Q: What are the top ten college football schools of all time?

A: The top 2 are definitely: Notre Dame USC ---------------- Then to round out the top 5: Penn State Alabama Oklahoma ---------------- Then it gets subjective and blurred: Ohio State Michigan Nebraska Florida State Miami

Q: Do I repeat the whole curriculum if I change college college schools from Philippines to London?
am currently studying at ateneo de davao university in Davao City, Philippines for Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and my mom is planning to transfer me to continue my studies at London after 2 years, which I will be a 3rd year college student then, and my classmates told me that if I transfer college in outside the country, I must repeat all the curriculum back to freshman. Is this true? Thank you for your time bestfriends... I'm really confused T_T

A: The college will evaluate every class that you have taken and determine which ones you will get credit for./

Q: What are some good and hopefully AFFORDABLE College level USA schools for doing voice over and animation work?
Hello everyone, Where can I look online for a list of College level schools in or near the USA that offer instruction on doing voice over and recording voices for animation work? Perhaps there are some Universities or Tech schools that are well regarded for this kind of career? Thank you.

A: There are many places that teach you how to do Voice over work. Like: http://www.voiceoneonline.com/ or http://www.radioconnection.com/ However having myself a few VO spots under my belt, I would suggest just going for it! Gather together commercials from TV or Radio even film, characters that you do, and put together your own Demo. If you are rehearsed you can usually put something together in a studio in minimal time. Some recording studios around my area charge as little as $25 /hr. So, for under $100 you could come out with a great demo to send to radio stations, agents, and advertising agency's in your area. I really believe that there is power in doing. Go, out meet people who are doing it now. Ask them questions. You honestly don't need school! Good Luck! Let me know how it goes!

Q: Why is drinking so prevalent in college business schools?
I'm not asking this question in a condescending way at all. I am just curious as to why 70% of my college's business school has a drinking problem. I'm talking about hitting the bars MOST nights all week. Is the social aspect more important than the academic aspect for this major. Is it like this after graduation as well?

A: Is it because business classes and a future in business are dull prospects? Are business majors looking for something to up the passion hormones? Are the 'reasons' for majoring in business just not enough to keep life interesting?

Q: Who knows all about boarding schools for college in Australia?
I'm planning on going to school in Australia but the problem is that i cant find a good boarding school.Im looking for a "All boarding school"(live and study in that school)for college and that also involves baseball or any good sports.Can anyone help mee.And i also would want to know how much will it cost for a year or a mouth.please help me this is really important. All the Australian people or others im calling for you

A: G'day, I have to agree with Cliffordex, since you are mixing 3 different study levels altogether in one questions. In Australia, schools means your general schooling, which is the first 12yrs of your school studies (Primary and High School). College usually offers non-degree courses (Certificates & Diplomas) after you finish your high-school study. University is the one to look for degree courses (bachelor, masters and PhD). All three levels of study may have boarding/on-campus accommodation facility in the institutions. However it will be terribly long answer for me to specify all three of them here. Please clarify your question and it may not be a bad idea to re-post your question in Travel - Australia, since quite alot of Australian questions are posted there, so you may get more responses. Hope this helps. Good luck for your study and welcome to Australia :)

Q: How much does your undergraduate college matter to grad schools?
I currently go to a very good liberal arts college and am studying to get my BA with a double major in mathematics and molecular biology. I am thinking of transferring to one of the top math/science schools in the nation. However, I would end up taking nearly identical courses, since I would be taking lots of courses on the math/science school anyway. The two schools are Scripps College and Harvey Mudd College. Will the BA/BS and which college matter to graduate schools?

A: Essentially the difference between undergrad and graduate study is that grad study focuses more on the researching end of things. Yes, coursework is often duped, but you tend to do more writing in graduate school and look at things from a "higher" level. Now as to getting into grad school, your undergrad major(s) do matter. If you don't have an undergraduate degree in that particular subject, you might not get accepted or may have to makeup some undergraduate courses to form that foundation. And of course, grades matter! If you didn't do all that well in your undergrad study, then you might not do all that well in graduate school. And lastly, where you got your degree also matters because grad schools want to be sure you went to a reputable college for your undergraduate study and learned what really matters to that particular school.

Q: what not-so-prominent college schools can do to a student's career?
say, one wants to take up a computer course like Information Technology (IT), computer science or other courses like electronics and communication engineer or accounting. yet he/she is only enrolled in college schools which are not-so-prominent or in a state university which is instead known better for its medical courses..you think the student could still attain the knowledge needed and opportunities as well to be able to work abroad like in the USA or Canada?

A: Of course. Only a few students get to go to the really prominent schools, and there are a lot more jobs which must be filled. Most people in okay jobs come from lesser colleges and schools. You aren't doomed in most fields if you came from a lesser college, but those who did go to a prominent school will usually have more opportunities. If you stop worrying about them and focus on your own career, you should do fine.

Q: Why do our college preparatory schools continue to include Chaucer's Canterbury Tales as part of curriculum?
After all of these years, why does that book continue to get read? And Catcher in the Rye? Do the schools all follow each other? Are these "safe" selections, or necessary aspects of high school literary education?

A: The Canterbury Tales is taught because it is considered to be a stunning achievement, and Chaucer is considered a genius. Chaucer thought up an excuse (a frame narrative) to tell widely varying types of tales. You have a chivalric romance, followed by a downright ribald tale, and so on. Chaucer not only wrote on the entire spectrum, from the simplest tavern story, to the most sophisticated forms, but he kind of did better that anybody else at it. Chaucer captured the flawed psychology of the traveling persons, and satirized corruption of the Church. The entire piece is quite literally a snapshot of everything about medieval life. That's why it's in the canon of English literature, and is typically taught in college. It makes it easier on folks if they have at least been exposed to it before. In terms of Catcher in the Rye, it's an exercise in dealing with an unreliable narrator and is recent enough to still have some applicability for young readers. Most people teaching were required to read it, and therefore they teach. I thought it sucked though.

Q: Do medical schools care what college you went to?
From what I've heard, it doesn't really matter what college you go to, but the medical school actually makes the difference. When i the college doesnt matter im not saying id rather go to a community college but if it doesnt matter which college you go to, shouldnt i go aim to go to University of Illinois rather than Northwestern to save money? Sure NU is more prestigous but are medical schools really going to look at my college or my grades?

A: The school does make some difference, but that's only one factor among many. U. of Illinois is a good school and you have the right idea, med school is expensive, you don't need a huge undergrad debt to complicate your life either. I graduated from a state school, and did just fine.

Q: How does Boston College School of Nursing compare to other nursing schools?


A: Boston College School of Nursing is a great nursing school because it offers a variety of different nursing programs and degrees. For example, there are baccalaureate, master and doctoral programs The nursing programs offer a combination of scholastic research and study in a real-world nursing environment so that graduates feel prepared when entering the medical world. Curriculum is designed to develop a student's diagnostic, therapeutic and ethical reasoning in nursing practice to better prepare them for their career. I believe that Boston College also helps with job placement after graduation, so it is definitely a great place to get your nursing education. This is a helpful nursing school site that also provides a resource center to answer questions.

"and I play hockey hockey hockey hockey..." you can get it here: http://audio.search.yahoo.com/search/audio/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Faudio.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Faudio%3Ftoggle%3D1%26ei%3DUTF-8%26sngid%3D4f219ed688c92260%26p%3DHockey%2BSong&p=Hockey+Song&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ss.ucalgary.ca%2FJArchibald%2FJughead.html&name=Hockey.ram&dur=3:33&rate=&no=1&tt=1 it's the 2nd link down... it says Hockey And there's another one that I found on the internet that I like a lot, but they didn't play at school games...

Q: Scientology Schools K->12 How do they do in College after that?
I know these Delphi Schools have a different system with the Hubbard "Tech" Method of looking up words in a dictonary instead of using reasoning skills. I am wondering how these students do on national exams and then how they do in conventional college enviornments. Not fashion school or art school, but regualr academics like Medical Fields, Engineering and any other fields that require problem solving that one can actually get a job with. Not progams that are not Bachelors degree or more advanced at an acredited universtiy. I wonder how these studnent would do in Law School for Instance. Would one be able to use such reasoning skills after a full scientology schooling or would the study tech have totally messed up their reasoning skills? Any stats on what this does to the brain of a person and how it shows up? How many people can go beyond fashion school, acting and music careers? Oh yeah and beyound that of a Chef. Not that it is bad to be one of these things, but I think a student should be prepared to be whatever they want and not have to fight against their education. Of course we have to take into account that some students can be anything reguardless of how bad any school is. We need to compare this with regular schools. Thank you Xenu. Scotty what program are you in for college and what degree have you completed or are you working on? Are you an active student?

A: I think you probably know by now that Applied Scholastics’ promotional materials nor its website will provide a well supported examination of Study Technology, and Applied Scholastics, ABLE, etc. "Delphi claims 96% of its students apply for admission to college. Included in a packet of explanatory and promotional material they provided me was a page entitled "Partial List of Colleges and Universities that have Accepted Delphi Graduates." I wrote each of the 35 U.S. schools on that list. Of the 27 that replied, only 3 acknowleged having received applications from Delphi students in recent years; 16 said either they had not received such applications or they could not consider them. For example, U.C. Santa Barbara said it "...does not accept students applying from Delphi Academy...because Delphi is not an accredited institution." So, I researched secondary school accreditation in California. I had a correspondence with the Director of Undergraduate Admissions for the University of California, who told me U.C. recognizes only one accrediting agency: the Accrediting Commission for Schools. That organization wrote me to say Delphi is not accredited. I contacted an official in the state department of education who told me the state does not accredit schools. I wrote American College Testing, which replied, "Few if any Delphi students have taken the ACT test." I wrote Educational Testing Service; unfortunately, they were unwilling to provide information about Delphi students' history with the SAT's." http://home.snafu.de/tilman/mystory/study.html This is a good website on the subject http://www.studytech.org In short, they don't realise any credible checkable statistics, and when they do they are shown to be dubious. Experts in the Education field invariably don't like it at best. This article will demonstrate this, and confirm what I said about the experts. http://www.studytech.org/study_tech4.php And the conclusion: http://www.studytech.org/study_tech5.php Here's another look at, some figures are mentioned, but it's from 1997. http://home.snafu.de/tilman/mystory/delphi_academy.html Johanna Lemlech, a professor of education at USC specializing in curriculum and teaching, calls the books "awful." They "violate everything we know about how children learn, and appropriate pedagogy," she says. "In short, these books should be carefully placed in the cylindrical file." http://www.studytech.org/archives/000008.php I also think you will find that for the teaching they follow and use the established curriculum as they have to by law, and so the study tech is nothing more than an unneccessary aid in their education. Thus their results should be around the same as other schools in similiar areas. I would also venture that you won't find a Delphi School sitting in the middle of a socially disadvantaged area. So I did some research of my own looked it up on K12 website, found a Delphi School. Within a 35 km radius of one of their schools the avg. for grade 10 math was 74%m, Delphi scored 67% For english lang. / arts the avg. was 72.5% while Delphi got 73%, which sat in between the middle of the two closest schools, 68% and 81%. Those 2 schools both outdid Delphi on the whole, and are only 9 and 10 km away... The two closest schools actually have more disadvantaged kids than delphi, although delphi did actually give the most stats on this. http://www.greatschools.net/cgi-bin/cs_compare/in?street=501+Armory+Rd&city=Delphi&zip=46923&area=m&miles=1000&level=h&tab=over&sortby=&school_selected=331&begin=0&x=12&y=5&showall=1 I tried to look at the Delphi Academies, but there were no results for the ones I looked at...

Q: What is the lowest college GPA range pharmacy schools look for accepting transfer students?
What is the lowest college GPA range pharmacy schools look for accepting transfer students?

A: You need a minimum of 3.0 to probably at least even be considered. I would say even a 3.3 to even stand a good shot at it. Even for the non accredited schools now a days they need at least in the low 3s to even really be looked at.
