Magnet school is accelerated. No normal classes there.
2
magnet schools vary on what activities they have but the main point is that the classes you will get are going to be harder than regular classes I don't know whether you are considering going to college but if you are I would recommend you to go to the magnet school just for the reason that the classes are harder that actually prepares you more to go to college than the regular classes

Why don't you call the admissions office - they usually have tours and other info available to prospective students. An email is going to take days/ weeks to be responded to. And unless you are transferring from another law school - most law schools do not have spring admission - they start in the fall.
2
That sounds fine, this e-mail is not going to go into your admissions file or anything like that so you really have nothing to worry about, you can be as professional or as casual as you would like! Only thing you might want to note, you said you want to start in the Spring Semester and many law programs only offer a fall start so you may want to double check that. And during the summer a lot of schools offer "self tours" that you don't even need to make an appointment for so waiting and calling at lunch might be more efficient.

They should! If you for for a interview be very polite and shake the persons hand and all that jizz your skool sounds preddy harsh aye!

Of course they will aceept you the question is will your parents pay for you to go to a private school just to not listen and talk? Private school is very expensive and more often than not your learning the same thing. I would suggest you suck it up and obey the rules at school and save your parents a good 10 grand.
3
Honestly, this is hard to determine. I would suggest doing some research on your private schools of choice, and see what is prohibited and the requirements(private schools work under their own rules; subject to change at anytime). Behavior is an issue, though. But if your grades are up to exceeding standards, you should have a fair chance. BE SURE TO WOW THE DEAN(PRINCIPAL)WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR ORIENTATION. GOOD LUCK!

Baltimore, Maryland Questions?
Baltimore, Maryland Questions?
I'm moving to Baltimore as soon as I graduate from school with my nursing degree. I would like some pointers. Some of my questions are: - What is an affordable (moderately) safe neighborhood for apartments/row houses? (I'm single w/ no kids and would like to live in Baltimore City) - About how much can I expect to pay for housing? - How would you rate the cost of living with other large cities? (I live in Atlanta now so a comparison to Atlanta would be great) - Overall is Baltimore a good city for a young upcoming professional like myself? - Is there any additional info you feel I should know about Baltimore? Oh yeah. I'm African American and would like to live in a neighborhood that is at least 20% (or more) African American. It would also help if there was a hospital nearby (since I'm a nurse).

As for your last question, I'd say most of the neighborhoods in Baltimore City would qualify on the at least 20% African American part. There are lots of large hospitals in the city, so that shouldn't be a problem either. Baltimore has a higher cost of living than Atlanta but then you'll make more money too, especially since hospitals tend to be more unionized in the Northeast Corridor than the rest of the country. As for which neighborhoods you'll like, that's going to depend on your likes and dislikes. There are plenty to choose from so come check them out. The safer neighborhoods tend to be east of I-83.

Baltimore for me is similar to Richmond & Newark (Yes, what a weird comparison) Inside the city, if you're from a big town, it's like any other city. They'll let you know how dangerous the city is. Nickname for some is Bodymore, Murderland (I'm not making this up, way too much creativity for me!) But that depends like all places where you live. You'll find a good job, they're begging people to move/work in that area, it's the ugly stepchild that everyone locks in their basement & constantly tries to ignore until the floorboards start moving again. Jobs: Good, you'll like it, inner harbor everybody swears on & the suburbs aren't bad. Professionalism will get you in. School: If you mean for yourself U of MD is a great school syst, if you mean for your kids don't inflict that on them, g/f's dad works for balt & oh god, one of his 'colleagues' (teacher) just got busted for selling CRACK to Elem kids?!! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!! So, for your kids please make sure they're outside the city. Rule: South of Baltimore to DC is 'urban' (You know what that means :-D). North & West to West Virg/PA you're going into hick/suburban country.

Lucky!! It was 85 degrees not three days ago. I haven't really seen "snow" persay, but more of an icy/sloshy mix. That doesn't factor in well for snowballs because they really hurt from the ice.

Looking for a dog grooming school in Maryland?
I would like to take an 'all breed' or full program dog grooming program in Maryland. I do NOT want some instructional video or online program, that doesn't seem adequate to me. But, I have only found two schools in all of Maryland and they both seem to be possibly closed! The Baltimore School or Grooming in Baltimore, MD and The Maryland School of Grooming in Silver Spring. Neither of them have websites! And both are impossible to reach via phone! Any suggestions? And if nothing in Maryland, I may have to stretch out to PA, DE or VA. Thank you!

I started out as a brusher & bather in a Grooming Shop & was taught how to groom by the owner of the shop. No I did not get a certificate but my finished product spoke for it's self. I have know groomers that went to a 3 week course but did a very lousy job at grooming. Most shops won't hire you until you have had 3 to 5 years experience at grooming. I was lucky cause some of the shops here would exchange groomers, if one was having a slow day & the other shop needed a groomer we jumped from shop to shop, where ever we were needed. I learned all about Canine Behavior from going to a training school that specialized in aggression training, so in my grooming I specialized in Behavioral problems. I did not advertise, I relied on Vet referrals & word of mouth. I was 6 months into training before she let me do a dog all by myself. But even after 6 months sometimes she found places I had missed & would correct the clip. I loved grooming dogs. I especially enjoyed working with some of the temperamental dogs. Dogs that other groomer could not even get close to. Oh, I could go on & on & on............
