I Need Help Choosing Study Abroad School- Korea U Or Yeonsei U?


I currently attend a state university in U.S.. My major is Biology/Life science, and I plan to take some advance science courses and maybe a couple basic course. First, Korea University is actually affiliated with my home school, so it will be easier for me to go through the process, transfer credits, and it will also be cheaper. But I also hear good experiences from Yeonsei. The thing that worries me most is the difficulty level of these schools since they are one of the top schools in Korea. I’m looking forward to the cultural experiences, so I don’t want to be stuck at school studying hardcore 24/7 but I can’t let my gpa go any lower because I plan to enter med school after I graduate. I’m also fluent in Korean but I want to take all my courses taught in English since I’m more used to hearing all those scientific words in English 🙂

What Is Wrong With Going To A Community College?


I’m going into my Senior year of high school and I’m seriously considering going to a community college next year. I have to pay for my education on my own, and my SAT scores were a slightly above average 1790. I have a 4.5 GPA, I’m very active in my community, I have minority status as a tribal-affiliated Native American, and I’m just enjoying life as a seventeen year old girl. I don’t really know what I want to do with my life, and a community college seems like a smart financial decision and an easy stepping stone to transfer into a 4-year.
But all of my friends are dead set on getting into 4-year Universities and State Colleges. I’m in the top 5 of my graduating class and part of me feels like I should be joining them. But I think I’ll save a lot more money in the long run if I play my cards right in the community college system. And it won’t be as stressful and ego-shattering if I get rejected from Harvard or UCLA or Colorado State University. Not to mention the money going down the drain with application processing fees.
Maybe I’m just afraid of rejection. Should I bother applying to a University right out of high school when I can get the same degree for a fraction of the cost after transferring from a community college? What are the benefits of going to a 4-year straight out of high school? A 2-year?
I know I can apply for grants and scholarships for 4-years, but is it worth my time if I can go to a community college and transfer somewhere else later? I guess that’s my main concern.

Am I Good Enough For Top Universities?


I’m currently a junior attending a public high school in the southern region of the U.S.
As of this year, I am currently the salutatorian of my class, however, there is a good chance that I could become the valedictorian by my senior year. My cumulative unweighted GPA is a 3.97; my weighted GPA would be a 4.32
My most recent ACT score is that of a 31, however, I will retake it until I make a 34 or 35.
I took 2 AP tests during my sophomore year and made a 3 and a 5. I am taking 7 AP tests this year.
I am the assistant principle to concertmaster in my school orchestra; I have auditioned and attained seats in a regional and state orchestra. I volunteer at my state’s art museum, volunteer at a food bank, and will tutor other students in the summer for social science courses. I will also be attending an accredited 4-week summer program with other juniors. When I was affiliated with a church, I volunteered during a week-long community outreach program in Pennsylvania. I wrote many articles and provided photographs for my school newspaper during my freshman year; I was made editor-in-chief of my schools newspaper during my sophomore year.
I have received e-mails from schools such as Princeton and Washington University in St. Louis. Would I be good enough for such schools? If not, what else could I do to improve my chances?
