Her grades are high she has about at 3.8 GPA currently. She works very hard, she tudies more than any peron I know. She plans to take the LSAT this fall she will be studying for it on top of everything else. I admire her energy, I'm sure she has what it takes to be a good law student. Correct the following: 1.

Collen called; she wants me to help her with her homework. 2. London was the first city to have a population of over one million; it reached that milestone in 1811 As I'm going thru these all they need is a semi-colon. A semicolon punctuation mark used to separate two parts of a compound sentence when they are not connected by a conjunction.

Will I be accepted to college?
Will I be accepted to college?
Hello, I'm a Junior in High School right now, and was wondering if I have a chance at being accepted into any of my dream schools. As it stands, I have a 3.7 (weighted) GPA overall, however my freshman and sophomore year GPA's were both higher than my GPA this year (3.6, I believe). Aside from that, I scored a 2160 on my SAT's, which I still hope to raise in May since its not that good. I also participate in a variety of clubs around school including: Key Club, Model UN, Student Council, Debate Club, Increase the Peace, India Club, Asian Culture Club, Book Club, as well as some others. I've taken AP and Honers classes throughout my entire high school experience, and although I would love to tell you my school no longer offers class rank. Outside of school I do several forms of martial arts, currently Jujitsu, as well as fence, rock climb, and some water sports. I also intern for a local lawyer, and work as a lifeguard and Kumon Mentor. My dream has always been to go to school at Colombia, Brown, NYU, Cornell, Boston University, Colgate, Williams, or Amherst. Am I qualified enough to go, and do I have a chance? Thank you in advance, for all your advice and help.

Yes! Most definitely. You have so many chances! You have a good GPA and a high SAT score. You are in many clubs and extracirricular activities. I think you have a strong chance of getting into any of those colleges. You are qualified enough!!

I'm also a junior in high school, and have a 3.7 unweighted. So first of all, hello fellow college admissions competitor :P. You've got a damn strong amount of extracurriculars (holy crap I work at Kumon too), and a decent GPA. A 2160 is pretty good, and i think can get you into most of the schools on your list with that score, though your GPA will weigh you down. A weighted GPA of 3.7 is okay, but that equates to a lower GPA if you've taken so many AP and honors classes. Amherst, Cornell, Brown, and Columbia will be a little more on the fence, but I think you'll be okay with Williams, Colgate, and definitely Boston University. So focus on doing well on your AP tests and bringing up your GPA, as your GPA is the most important factor on your application. Try for Straight A's this year- that'll be the most amazing thing you can do as a junior while taking four or five APs. It's tough, i acknowledge, and I'm taking four APs this year so I can relate to you. good luck!

Your SAT scores are actually higher than most. That's around the "average" for some of the schools you're applying to. Your extra curriculars are REALLY gonna help you stand out (especially since you see to have a focus with them and are not jumping all over the place). Do whatever you can to make yourself look good from this point on, because there is not much you can do about your GPA. Many schools look more closely at the classes you took rather than the grades you received anyway, but of course the latter is still pretty significant. Write a KILLER essay, do something really special (strongly suggest something in a charity field, if at all possible), and recognize your own strengths and weaknesses. All three will really help you! I agree with the above answer in regard to their analysis of the specific schools. You will definitely be accepted SOMEWHERE, as you are a fairly strong student (or it appears so), but perhaps you should broaden your horizons just in case. Never hurts to apply to TOO many schools! Also, your chances may increase if you apply to a school early decision or early action. You may want to check that out, as well.

Are the United Nations and European Union worth it?
Are the United Nations and European Union worth it?
This is a recurrent topic (at least in me) but I feel its worthy to post about it because today the Honduran president got ousted (or so we have been told, at least). I am not from Honduras or anything of the like. I was born in Europe but since very small lived in various Latin American countries. This time, I will not talk about the United States, everyone talks about them everyday anyways. Today, the European Union, the United Nations, the Organization of the Americas States, they are all condeming the (coup?) against Zelaya. In the past, they had also reacted in a similar way regarding Chavez, and regarding Ecuador before Correa. They also seem to criticize the way Colombia takes ahead its internal war, but hey, its a war, not a Disney Park. Its fine, its OK to criticize coups and such. But the problem with these organizations is that, in reality, they are useless, and if anything, they help dictators. I will say it very simple. -Where the fuck is/was the European Union / United Nations when thousands of people were executed in Cuba by Castro? Nowhere! -Where the fuck is/was the European Union / United Nations in front of the fact that Fidel Castro has been the king of Cuba, in power for 50 years? Nowhere! What did Europe do about Fidel? Reward him by building hotels! -Where the fuck is/was the European Union / United Nations when Burma fell under a big dictatorship? Nowhere! -Where the fuck is/was the European Union / United Nations in front of the events at Darfur? Nowhere! -Where the fuck is/was the European Union / United Nations during Tianan Meng (spelling?)? Nowhere! -Does the European Union or United Nations care about North Korea? No, all they do is blame each other. Does the European Union / United Nations care that Chavez wants to stay in power until 2050 no matter what anyone says? No. Do they care that Chavez ordered to throw tear gas and jail any student or whoever protests? No. Did they care when the Human Rights watch representative got expelled from Venezuela with no reason? No. What does the European Union do? They pretty much support Colombian guerrillas and Peruvian guerrillas, and any government that puts a stop to them is quickly criticized. -Where the fuck is/was the European Union / United Nations when three white men were shot in Bolivia for political reasons? Nowhere! Did they even bother trying to investigate if the claims of a potential magnicide were true? Not at all. -If Zelaya was not ousted, or if he comes back to power, and manages to stay in power for 30 years, will the European Union / United Nations do something about it? You guessed it, they won't. So all the democracy and freedom talk done by the European Union, United Nations, and OAS, is pretty much garbage, all they have achieved is to reward dictators and wannabe- dictators, without any real concern about freedom for people. The European Union and the United Nations and the OAS are made up of a bunch of guys who drink wine and who don't give a crap about the foot citizen. Thats the truth about them. All of these grouos could be abolished, and the World would not be very different, except that dictators would not have anyone to support them (internationally). United Nations: They are as useless, or maybe more, than the League of Nations in the 1930s.

Short answers to complicated questions are: UN: Grand concept but poorly executed. EU: Grand concept but the jury is still out on this one.
2 :
It is difficult to answer a question such as this because it is posted by someone to whom world politics are a complete mystery. Why do you repeatedly compare the E.U with the U.N? The U.N charter was signed on the 26 June 1945, the E.U charter was signed 1 November 1993. The UN was set up to try to prevent wars and major upheaval between countries in an effort to make sure we do not have anymore global wars. In the main they have been successful. The U.N is not allowed to interfere with the internal affairs of a sovereign nation, it can only come in if it is invited by the government of that nation. That is why the U.N does not come to the rescue every time something happens in a country that perhaps we disagree with.The European Union is a conglomerate of 27 countries that have banded together to trade with each other and to have a common group of laws that will enable those countries to coexist with some sort of cohesion . So you can see that the two were set up for very different purposes. You could argue why did not the U.N come to the USA when the Kennedy,s were shot or when Regan was shot or when the Feds became completely out of control at Waco or when the national guard shot the students at Kent University. These are all similar to the happenings that you think the U.N should interfere in, but as I have stated they cannot interfere in a countries internal affairs. The E.U has no remit at all in these matters. I have kept my answer simple and in very general terms so that even you can get a grasp on way these things work. I suggest you do a little more research before you post these type of questions.
3 :
What do u want them to do attack or assassinate. These are ridiculous. This is what the US did to communism and it failed. There is nothing you can do but condemn
4 :
What would you have the UN do? Should they invade and restore order in every unsettled country? That would mean a much larger military presence than the currently have and everyone putting more money into it. If they got involved in every undemocratic activity and interevened each time, there would be UN forces on the ground in about 80% of the world. So, I ask you, what would you have the UN do? And how do you suppose they will do it. As for the EU - the EU is basically an economic federation for the betterment of it's members. Why should a group of European countries get involved in what happens in south america - any more than AFrican ones? Why aren't you asking where ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) was when all of this was going on.
5 :
Most of them, UN, EU and so on are run by International Banks and therefore acts as a puppet show for the World Bank owners and international brokers. Whatever they want to happen, happens. Could it be war, peace, fascism, socialism, and the list goes on. EU is the first block of three. The next to come is the American block (Canada, USA, Mexico), then the Asian block (China, Japan, Australia etc..) Once three blocks are ready, they will be tied together by an emerging world government, the New World Order, often referred to by all recent presidents of the US, including Obama. How could such a global domination of world banks be achieved with the consent of the masses? Through mass mind manipulation events, like the current economic crisis and 911. Democracy is an ideology which is part of the US constitution, but was doomed to failure once personal interests bypassed it, putting the institutions before the populations. It used to be "We the people, by the people, for the people. Now it means "We the institutions, by the institutions, for the institutions."

Can I still get into a decent law school?
Can I still get into a decent law school?
So. It took me awhile to grow up in college and I didn't really become a serious student until my junior year (yeah.. i know. oops). Anyway, I had a 2.8 at the beginning of my junior year and since then have really excelled. I have since had a 3.4, 3.7, and 3.5 in subsequent semesters bringing my overall GPA to almost a 3.2. I know this isn't very high, but I also scored a 171 on my LSATs. I wish that I could go back and change my first two years of college, but I can't so here I am... I went to a fairly difficult school for undergrad (University of Michigan) and I really want to get into a good law school. Is it still possible for me to get into a place like NYU, Colombia or Boston University? If not, could you help me think of some well-known schools to apply at? oh and I double majored and have a minor as well.. (don't know if that makes a difference or not)

The only way you will know for sure is to try. I've seen people that were such poor students that they coppied off of me get into some fine grad schools. UM has a good engineering school & is well thought of in the science fields (I often recruited grads there), but I'm not knowledable about their other fields... though I've heard good things about their academics in general. I say play up your final 2 years to indicate how you've matured, & remember GPA is only part of what they look at. If possible, visit some of the universities you wish to apply to and speak to some grad students & some of the proffs. You may have a proff there at UM that can give you some good pointers or better yet, knows people at a school you wish to apply to.

Unmarried Visa enquiry - what legal documents are there that can help to prove we've been living together?
Unmarried Visa enquiry - what legal documents are there that can help to prove we've been living together?
My girlfriend and I first met at the start of our college course last year in early September. She had already been here studying for two years and her current student visa (her 2nd one consecutively) runs out in October 2010 - our course ends in July 2010. After a month of dating I began to live with her. Soon after, I moved out of my current abode and in with her. The Landlord was private and we lived in her house. We have a contract with both our names on, but is this contract "official" enough to pass the test as it's not from an estate agent and there is no other record that I can think of? We have since moved on to a new address, again a private landlord. So by the end of next year we would have been living together for 2 years. We both intend to go to University in England, most likely London, obviously things would be a lot easier for both of us if she had an Unmarried Partner visa rather than yet another Student Visa. My current landlord has printed out a piece of paper stating that we live at the address and so if we both sign it, is that then a legally recognised document (good enough for the Home Office preferably) or is there another avenue we should take? The rent we pay is all inclusive so there are no Utilities to prove our residence here though the bank has my new address. The enquiry is with regard to applying for an Unmarried Visa and requirements are that I have been living with my partner together for at least two years and must be able to prove it. Our intention is to live in Colombia next year for around 6 months. What shall we do to prepare for providing evidence of this to add towards our application? Thanks for taking a look!

The following is from common-law partners applying to immigrate to Canada - but I am sure this list is just as valid anywhere for proof. You just need to find out the details required for the country you are moving to. Columbia is a catholic country - they may not accept common-law couples. You are a common-law partner—either of the opposite sex or same sex—if: You have been living together in a conjugal relationship for at least one year in a continuous 12-month period that was not interrupted. (You are allowed short absences for business travel or family reasons, however.) You will need proof that you and your common-law partner have combined your affairs and set up a household together. This can be in the form of: joint bank accounts or credit cards joint ownership of a home joint residential leases joint rental receipts joint utilities (electricity, gas, telephone) joint management of household expenses proof of joint purchases, especially for household items or mail addressed to either person or both people at the same address.

What are my chances of being admitted to Columbia University?
What are my chances of being admitted to Columbia University?
So I live and was born in Colombia, South America. I've always wanted to go to Columbia. I'm a senior in my school. I want to know what my real chances are. I got a letter inviting me to apply to Columbia, and I was so excited. My SAT scores have been: 690 CR 620 Math SAT II: Spanish: 800 Math: 610. I am one of the top five students in my class. I took IBT TOEFL and got 116 out of 120. I'm student council vice president. I'm into Model UN, I've been awarded several times as a delegate, I have been secretary general and chair. I write for my school newspaper. I have been class president twice. I speak French fluently and English very fluently and Spanish is my native tongue. I used to do community service, and even helped found a social awareness club in my school. I've been invited to woman empowerment forums where I've written awarded essays. I know my test scores are underneath what they usually take in. But I believe I have good extracurricular activities. What do you think? Also I work as a summer camp counselor in the US. And I sent a very good recommendation letter from the camp director.

OK the answer is you are making yourself crazy with this problem. You need to let it go for your own sake and seek medical help as soon as possible.
2 :
Well it sounds like you are having exactly the same sorts of problems I was having a couple of years ago. Basically racing thoughts, anxiety, repetitive thoughts, overeating, difficulties getting to sleep on time. A Chinese traditional medical doctor was able to help me out. I had to do an eye rotation exercise, ensure that I was getting to bed on time (so I could get to sleep by 11pm at latest), and taking an herbal medicine called Gui Pi Wan. His simple explanation to me was that thinking in a driven manner taxes the body just like excessive anger. In this case, when the system that regulates stress from thinking too much gets over taxed you start suffering from excessive anxiety and over eating. Another supporting piece of evidence was that my tongue had some ridges/scalloping around its edge from being slightly swollen. The eye exercise was rotate the eyes 20 times clockwise, then 20 times counter clockwise. Keep the head stationary. Afterwards straighten your neck and tuck your chin in and look straight ahead. The Chinese herbal medicine I took was called Gui Pi Wan. Its fairly cheap, the brand does not seem to matter, and you can buy it online. I was supposed to take around 12 of the small pills in the morning (at least a half hour before eating) and 12 in the evening (before going to sleep) with warm water. You can also massage the inside of your shins from the ankle to the knees. This helps with the condition over time. In my case the massage was pretty uncomfortable at the start. I was supposed to be disciplined and be asleep by 11 pm at latest. I was supposed to avoid sleep during the day if possible (15 min naps were Ok). Also, don't eat sweet fatty foods or sugary foods in general. I tended to crave them when I had the condition, and it actually exacerbates it. Even diet colas were bad since its the sweetness that exacerbates the condition. It would probably be best if you actually got diagnosed by a TCM practitioner before taking he herbs. In Chinese medical terms I was treated for "Spleen dampness caused by over thinking". Another alternative (not as effective) is to eat Lychee fruit when you want anything sweet. It is one of the main ingredients in Gui Pi Wan and even though its sweet, it helps with the condition (I don't know why). I started feeling better after around a week and was pretty much ok after a month. If you would rather work with western medicine you could go to your student health center and they might be able to get you a sleep aid or anti-anxiety medication.

I was sure it was going to be a piece of cake to find a scholarship and it is very complicated and there is no way I fill be able to afford it. -In order to achieve the previous point I have devoted myself to be a great student, my GPA is 4.3/5.0, but I don't have much of a life besides studying. Most of the time I am wondering if I am not wasting my youth, I am 21. -I will attend the University of Oklahoma as an exchange student next semester and I am not 100% sure that I made the right. I am afraid all of it will end up being a nightmare and a mistake. My parents will do a huge effort to send me there and I don't want to be wrong. -The Killers are FINALLY coming to my hometown, Bogota, Colombia on November 15th, but I won't be here. I need help please, I feel like I am going to have a nervous breakdown. I feel like I don't have anyone I can talk to because no one has been taking me seriously lately. Thanks1

OK the answer is you are making yourself crazy with this problem. You need to let it go for your own sake and seek medical help as soon as possible.

Well it sounds like you are having exactly the same sorts of problems I was having a couple of years ago. Basically racing thoughts, anxiety, repetitive thoughts, overeating, difficulties getting to sleep on time. A Chinese traditional medical doctor was able to help me out. I had to do an eye rotation exercise, ensure that I was getting to bed on time (so I could get to sleep by 11pm at latest), and taking an herbal medicine called Gui Pi Wan. His simple explanation to me was that thinking in a driven manner taxes the body just like excessive anger. In this case, when the system that regulates stress from thinking too much gets over taxed you start suffering from excessive anxiety and over eating. Another supporting piece of evidence was that my tongue had some ridges/scalloping around its edge from being slightly swollen. The eye exercise was rotate the eyes 20 times clockwise, then 20 times counter clockwise. Keep the head stationary. Afterwards straighten your neck and tuck your chin in and look straight ahead. The Chinese herbal medicine I took was called Gui Pi Wan. Its fairly cheap, the brand does not seem to matter, and you can buy it online. I was supposed to take around 12 of the small pills in the morning (at least a half hour before eating) and 12 in the evening (before going to sleep) with warm water. You can also massage the inside of your shins from the ankle to the knees. This helps with the condition over time. In my case the massage was pretty uncomfortable at the start. I was supposed to be disciplined and be asleep by 11 pm at latest. I was supposed to avoid sleep during the day if possible (15 min naps were Ok). Also, don't eat sweet fatty foods or sugary foods in general. I tended to crave them when I had the condition, and it actually exacerbates it. Even diet colas were bad since its the sweetness that exacerbates the condition. It would probably be best if you actually got diagnosed by a TCM practitioner before taking he herbs. In Chinese medical terms I was treated for "Spleen dampness caused by over thinking". Another alternative (not as effective) is to eat Lychee fruit when you want anything sweet. It is one of the main ingredients in Gui Pi Wan and even though its sweet, it helps with the condition (I don't know why). I started feeling better after around a week and was pretty much ok after a month. If you would rather work with western medicine you could go to your student health center and they might be able to get you a sleep aid or anti-anxiety medication.
