what are the best colleges for film in the baltimore/DC area?
I want to go to college for film and am going to look at loyola college in maryland in a few weeks but they don't really have a film program. What are some other colleges in that area that have good film programs? preferably liberal arts schools but it doesnt really matter. They dont have to be schools that are specific to art and film.

Loyola is an outstanding school. You are lucky to get in and I hope you make the most of it. As for schools with film programs, you are limited. American, George Mason, and Howard are about it. The major film programs are on the west coast or NYC. However, consider putting together a major at Loyola that is a combination of visual arts and communications. Then you can do a grad program if you want to continue in this field. A Loyola degree really opens doors.

Do I have a chance to get into these universities?

Do I have a chance to get into these universities?
My overall high school GPA will be a 3.8. I haven't been involved in many extracurriculars. I'm a junior though, so if I do a lot of extracurriculars my senior year, get really good SAT scores and write a good essay do I have a chance of getting to the University of Maryland Baltimore County, the University of New Hampshire, or the University of Vermont? My dreams schools are Princeton, Johns Hopkins, and Dartmouth, but I know I don't have a chance there. :(

Do you think the prices for Driving School is crazy?

Do you think the prices for Driving School is crazy?
I called around the areas where Im (Baltimore, Maryland) and the prices Ive found was ridiculous. The first place was 250.00, which is the normal price. The second place wanted 245.00, the third, 300.00 but that was in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The lowest Ive seen was 215.00. Which is a lot better than the rest, but still a crazy price. I remember it was a time where you didnt have to pay anything. All you had to do was have someone teach you how to drive, and than you would go and take the test. I think drunk driving and people that are 16-18 years old driving unsafe messed this up.

You are wrong guy,at the present time practically all state require certified driver education and many other very stringent requirements before you can become a licensed driver.

I agree the prices are crazy! Thankfully I got into 1st semester drivers ed this year and the fee was 200$ plus 20$ for licensing fees. The private places around here are around 300!


3
Stop complaining. Do you have any idea what it cost to get a license in Europe? About $3000. But than again they really teach people how to drive over there.


4
You're lucky if driving school is only $215 - 300. In ontario, most driving schools cost upwards of $500 - 1000. And here we DON'T require certified driving instructions to get your license. It may help with insurance, but it's not required. The outrageous cost is to help offset their cost of insurance, vehicles, and other such expenses for running a driving instruction school. Do you know how many accidents those cars go through with new drivers, and how often they have to get new cars?? A lot more often than if everyone learned with their parents. They also have to pay their teachers, and that gets expensive. So, be grateful that it's only a few hundred, rather than several. Good luck on your test.

well life is tough...nothing is cheap...lucky u saved all your birthday/christmas money and the money from babysitting and your paper rout...when i was 16 yrs old i had 3500 dollars in bank...good luck...tell ma &pa as soon as u can drive they woulnt have to

yes juilliard is a great school but only if you are THE best ballerina out there. the second best school (if not equally as good as juilliard) is NYU's dance school. it is pretty much just as selective and just as good. and actually OSU has an amazing dance program. only 30 students can major in dance at OSU every year so if that's what you're thinking you should check it out. some other well known schools for dance are: Arizona State University Butler University Florida State University Indiana University Marymount Manhattan College NYU, Tisch School of the Arts North Carolina School of the Arts Point Park University Southern Methodist University University of Arizona University of Michigan University of Oklahoma University of South Florida University of Utah

What major should I go for, pre-pharmacy, or pre-med?

What major should I go for, pre-pharmacy, or pre-med?
Im in high school and I am really confused on what major I should take in College. I am planning to attend the College of Notre Dame of Maryland in Baltimore. I'm not sure if I should study pre pharmacy or pre-med. I want something where I will make money. Im good at Math, not so much in science but Im willing to work hard. Please help me!! Any one who is a pharmacist or knows someone who is, please tell me your experience!!! Thanks!!!!!

I am in pharmacy school, and if you don't like science, you are screwed! You MUST love science...or they will be long 6 years of school. As far as med school, you will be studying science for longer time. If I were you, I'd reevaluate what you want in life...you can make money in other ways! GOOD LUCK!


2
I'm pre-pharmacy. I work in a pharmacy now and i LOVE it. The customers at the store are SOO nice. However, the one I work at is not very busy so I don't have as much stress. Also, I get to learn alot of stuff from the pharmacist I work with. She lives on her own and has an amazing house. I would do what you think is right. I changed my major once before I got into this field.


3
Pre-med and pre-pharmacy are not majors, but are nearly identical lists of required classes which may be found on the websites of medical and pharmacy schools. Any major is acceptable. May I suggest that you consider accounting as a career. In fact, you can major in it at many universities while you take the pre-med classes and can be admitted to medical school if you do well enough in science, etc. Then you will have a back-up if you are not admitted to medical or pharmacy school.


4
The College of Notre Dame in Maryland is a good choice. The college is opening a School of Pharmacy, and Notre Dame students have the inside track on admission. Also Notre Dame offers cross-registration for Johns Hopkins courses. Pre-Pharmacy/Pre-Med is not a "Major" รข€” it is a series of pre-requisite Medica//Pharmacy courses students take while completing a Major. The main error of students taking "pre-med/pharmacy" is that they don't realize most of them won't make it to these schools. Their Major should be chosen to give them good career prospects if they don't make it to Medical/Pharmacy School. The best Major for this purpose at Notre Dame of Maryland is Engineering.

Her chances are pretty good. She seems well rounded and has done well in school as well as done pretty well on the SAT's. I know an 1800 is a cut off for a lot of schools to get into the honors programs, so 1850 should be pretty solid to just get into the school.


4
I think she has a very good chance of getting into the University of Maryland Baltimore County and a reasonable chance at the University of Virginia. Her SAT and GPA are okay, but not spectacular, and Princeton, Cornell, and Johns Hopkins are highly competitive schools, while College Park is a very strong one. All except Baltimore County have national reputations. One thing that might make a difference is her class rank. I've seen people who said they had a 4.5 and were barely at the 50% of their high school class, so apparently their high schools gave REALLY easy grades. I don't know what a 3.9 means at her school, but I'm used to seeing scores over 4.0 and SATs well over 2000 for most of the schools you mention. As to the extracurriculars, they are fine, but will only help if she also has the academic qualifications. No school I know of will compromise their academic standards for a person who is engaged in many extracurricular activities, as much as they want that perfect student who is also well-rounded.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?
