Which nursing school should I choose?
Hi everyone! I am from Maryland and I just got accepted to 2 nursing schools that I applied to:University of Maryland (Shady Grove) and Marymount University (BSN in nursing). Does anyone attend any of these 2? Which nursing program is better? Is University of Maryland at Shady grove has the same program as in Baltimore? Can't decide where to go!! Thanks!

Good question. It depends on what you want to do. A 2 year grad takes the same test as a 4 year grad. Go for your assoc at a tech school where you get great hands on clinicals. You will start giving IM injections your 1st or 2 nd quarter where a university BS student doesn't start clinicall until way down the road. If you want to work the floors and ICU's you want to be a tech student. If you want to go straight to administration where you do lots of paperwork you want to go straight to university BS. However, alot of places want to see at least 1 year experience on the hospital floors where you have proven your basic nursing skills. This can be a problem for BSN students who are heavy on theory and light on skill. Most students I knew wanted to be the best nurses possible. They would have been very embarrassed to be 2nd rate at starting IV's or drawing blood or assisting with chest tubes, etc.so everybody went to tech. Then once they passed the state board exams they enrolled in the university for the 3-4th year. It's cheaper this way and you get a better education.

What are some universities w/ good pre-med programs on the east coast?
What are some universities w/ good pre-med programs on the east coast?
I DON'T need any of the ivy league schools because I already probably know them and don't expect to to go to one. Also for undergrad I'd rather go to a cheaper, but good university. I'm already definitely applying to University of Maryland College Park and Baltimore County because those are decent schools where I live, but would you recommend any other decent ones around the east coast? (I plan to go to an optometry school for graduate school)

How about the University of Pittsburgh. They have a good medical school and they have really good bio-science programs. You do not have to go straight premed to get into medical school and honestly, you are better to have a solid degree in something like bio-engineering or genetics. That would give you more options when you graduate in case med school does not work out. Good luck.

upitt, stony brook university, nyu, hunter college (only if you can get into the honors program), uva, emory, vassar college, tufts, carnegie mellon, suny geneseo.

BC, Tufts, Holy Cross, BU in Boston NYU, Fordham in NYC

Universities in Maryland...?
Universities in Maryland...?
Are the universities in Maryland hard to get into if you are out of state, such as University of Maryland at Baltimore? What are the requirements to get into such a school GPA? SAT? Extra curriculars? What is the best University in Maryland for me in your opinion? I am from California I have an accumulative unweighted GPA of 3.43, weighted of 3.71 student council, debate, president of one club. I don't want too big of a campus with too big of a student body. I prefer smaller schools with a great campus life with school spirit and a great social scene and a nice setting. Large city would be nice and a nice economic/political program. Which universities in Maryland would be good for me?

Maryland-College Park seems good. It's pretty close to Baltimore. You have a chance, ur GPA is decent, so I would apply.

DMX is right.. but beware UMCP is a big school. However, it has good traditions, ,school spirit and social events for students. The Economics program and Government&Politics (GVPT) program is one of the best in the countries. One of my majors is GVPT and I have professors that actually work in prestigious fields (ie consultant for WB, UN advisor, etc.). Professors have won academic awards such as the pulitzer award. It is also in a suburban area, but very close to Wash. D.C. (approx 3 mi to the border). --great internships and fed job potentials.

GET TO THE COMBINE!! That's where the top colleges recruit from. Get exposure so that the colleges know you exist before you turn into Al Bundy!

Get real. However, take those "numerous football awards for your talent" (LMAO) and show them to Joe Paterno or Urban Meyer or Lane Kiffen and they'll give you a scholarship right away. You're pathetic.

send a youtube video to college coaches they LOVE it when you send bad quality videos that look faked. it helps them sympathize with you and see your talent
5
If you didnt get recruited out of high school, then no offense but your talent must not be all too phenomenal bud The best players get scouted and recruited by college programs, my talent was nowhere near phenomal and I got recruited by a D-3 school

well this sounds to me like EPIC FAIL material. Not sure what you can do

Be careful you don't ruin your shoulders from patting yourself on the back. then no team ould want you. Sarge

How you can do it? Well, first you have to get in touch with the countries you want to work with to obtain a trade license. If this is done, get in touch with the chamber and commerce of these countries and make some contacts. Hire staff and start working. Most important things to start a new business in foreign countries: follow the local laws, invest money and have good connections. (In your case connections to local authorties airport managers and hotels). In this case a local business consultant can be very helpfull. Take care and all the best.

Tips for med school?
Tips for med school?
Ok, so I am going into my freshmen year and I am beginning my work on my collage manuscript. I am in track, dance team, and marching band. Next year I will be in golf. I am in all advanced classes (except for geometry, but i am still a year ahead of most of my peers.) I will be taking 4 years of German and every summer I am taking an online math class so I can skip ahead a grade in math so I will be in pre-cal by my sophomore year. I have med classes at my school that i will be taking for the three years of high school that it is available for. I am in a ton of clubs such as FCCLA and NJHS (Which is made for getting you scholarships) And grades wise I think i am in the top 5% to 10% in my class. I want to get into Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore Maryland. Any tips for getting a full scholarship to the collage of my dreams? I am planning to be a pediatric neurosurgeon. The med classes are along side of my science classes. My school provides local jobs at medical facilities for the med students.

An over achiever like you is asking us for advice. I don't see a full sweep of science, including chemistry and biology unless you are including that in medical.

Try to find ways to show your interest in the field of medicine. See if you can find a job being an assistant as an assistant in the Radiology department of a hospital or something. Go to Johns Hopkins website and search for scholarships they offer. And try to work on what they're looking for in candidates.
3
Being the top 5-10% (instead of the real genius 0.1%) mean you have to show more REAL interest in medicine, esp if you say that you wanna be a paed neurosurgeon. Med school will select ppl who have vast interests but only the really top student. To get a scholarship, you need to be real good in a particular sport or art. Have you won anything in dance, golf, whatever to prove your trackrecord?
