Undergrad Finance/Accounting programs in the midwest

We Answered:

What about Iowa State? There are minority scholarships available and you can even do a joint program or get your Master's in Accounting with just an extra semester or two.

I am in high school and i really want to travel to Paris?!?

We Answered:

For only that kind of money, your only option is Rotary. The other two good ones, AFS and YFU are considerably more expensive. Also, no high school program is going to guarantee Paris.

You might be better off waiting until college - or opening yourself up to other places.

I might add that People to People is NOT FREE. In fact, their trips run anywhere between $5,000 to $8,000 +++. And that's just for a few weeks!

Need answers about College life and what to expect.

We Answered:

1. Scholorships are usually for every year, but some may be onetime deals, need to find out. Scholorships given by a school usually require you maintain a minimum GPA. Individual scholorships expiration or lack there of is just that, individual. I have never heard of "blacklisting" or anything like that. You never need to repay scholorships even if you fail, you just dont get renewed.

2. If your going for an undergraduate degree, then you shouldn't have to take any pre-reqs, those are part of the degree. You take those classes at the university. This is assuming you have no college experience yet. If you have some General Education credits, those can count towards your degree, however every school has a minimun number of credits you must obtain from that school in order to receive a degree.

3. That would be very tough, usually a semester is 15 credits, and 15 hours of class time. 1 credit is supposed to equal 1 hour of class. So a 3 credit class should be 3 credits per week. Where this doesn't hold true is labs. Many times labs are 1 or 2 credits, however can be from 3-5 hours. Engineering you will have physics labs i would say about 20hr/week for classes. Problem is with school schedules you will have like MWF classes and T TH classes, so unless work is very lenient with you coming and going you have to block off say 8a-1p MWF and 11a-3p T TH (just an example check the schools schedule of classes for exact times)

4. Part time is anything under 12 credits, usually schools do not offer scholoships to part timers, howveer private scholorships may be available.

5. See 4.

6. Check the school or scholorships website.

7. You can find just about any class online, however getting one that you can take and your school will count as that class is different. A lot of schools won't take classes from online that are supposed to be core major requirements, being an engineering major math is part of your requirements, they want that done there. However english, psych, etc. those can usually be done from another online school. ALWAYS check with the university you want the degree from to see what those courses will or wont transfer as. Don't want to do some classes for nothing.

8. An advisor. Like a high school guidance counselor but for college.

9. Usually they should cover all school expenses. Just not usually living expenses.

Good luck!

Why are universities so obsessed with diversity?

We Answered:

I am 100% with you and I am Asian. This is one of those "political correctness" bs! They have to emphasize "diversity" or if else one person from a minority group complain that that they didn't mention enough about diversity, then they will be deemed racist and publicly humiliated by the media.

It's a sad reality right now. The color of your skin matters now more than ever before. What about social economic status of the students and their families? Like you said, colleges should emphasize important things but the fear of being called a racist is controlling their priorities.

Why do teachers expect parents to buy a bunch of expensive school supplies?

We Answered:

go to a school board meeting and request to speak up in a meeting.
If you go the route of the 'chain of command' like principal, super, etc
They usually try to get you to be quiet.
But, the board members are the top of the heap and sometimes take these things seriously, especially since these meetings are in the public eye.
