What should I think about when choosing between CSU's and UC's for film major?
Hello! I am an upcoming senior (Class of 2027) and I am deciding between CSU's and UC's for film major. I have heard that CSU's offer more hands-on work which is what I prefer, while UC's are more research based. However, I do care about prestige as well. What kind of factors should I consider and how can I pin point what is the best? Some film roles I am curious and interested in are directors and producers because I have creative ideas in mind that I want to bring alive.

What should I do...?
Hey everyone, I’m 17 and trying to plan out my next 4-5 years, but I’m feeling a bit confused and overwhelmed by my options. I come from a traditional background as an only child, and I really want to make my parents proud while building a career that is long-lasting and high-earning. The plan I have made is to major in Software Engineering (ideally targeting the aviation sector), and I want to minor in Religious Studies to honor my mom’s wishes. On top of that, I have a deep interest in law and politics, which I feel could really strengthen my long-term stability and career leverage. However, I also have a massive love for creative fields like fashion design (which is a great practical backup skill to sew for a living if needed) and filmmaking. I’m naturally great at multitasking, so my idea is to focus heavily on my main degree during the semesters, and then use my summer and winter breaks to take short courses or self-study law, politics, fashion, and filmmaking rather than trying to get full degrees in them.Does this sound realistic, or am I trying to take on too much? I'd love to hear from anyone who has successfully balanced multiple heavy academic interests and creative passions during university! Options and opinions all are welcomed I really want to hear your thoughts and changes that could be made to save my future
AP Exam Score Relevance for Architecture Major?
Hi, my name Sanvhi and I am planning to major in architecture. I am currently a junior and my dream school is University of Pennsylvania. I have listed the AP's I have taken with the score I have received, and the ones I plan to take. All the following AP's I hope to get a 5 on, but if I were to get a 4 on any, they would most likely be APUSH, both AP English's, and possibly Calculus AB or BC. I plan to put majority of my focus on AP Physics 2 and Research to show growth from a 4 in AP Physics 1 and Seminar to a 5 in those, as well as AP 3D Studio, Art History, and Calculus. AP World History Modern: 4 AP Microeconomics: 5 AP Precalculus: 5 AP Macroeconomics: 4 AP Seminar: 4 AP Physics 1: 4 AP Art History: AP Research: AP Calculus: AP English Language: AP Physics 2: AP 3D Studio Art: APUSH: AP Calculus BC: AP English Literature: Other than my exam scores, I have been doing research outside of school on architecture and domestic violence and plan to publish it, founder of the Engineering Club (integrated the Society of Woman Engineers program in it), applied for a SWE award (hopefully a recipient) and to be a SWE Influencer, applying for the Scholastic Art award and other architecture contest, SGA president for 3 years, and a youth ambassador for a domestic violence nonprofit working for university outreach. I have not taken the SAT yet, but plan to try my best to get around a 1500. I know nothing is set in stone and things can change with my results in contests, real SAT score, and more, but I was just wondering how important my AP scores would be for UPENN. Again I know there's no definite answer but I just wanted some others opinions! Thank you!!
Based on my current profile, do you think I have a realistic chance of being admitted to a competitive UK undergraduate Neuroscience programme?
Based on my current profile, do you think I have a realistic chance of being admitted to a competitive UK undergraduate Neuroscience programme? I'm looking for an honest assessment rather than reassurance. If you were reviewing my application today, would you consider me a competitive applicant, or are there significant weaknesses that would likely hold me back? To be honest, I'm feeling quite discouraged. Although I've worked hard throughout secondary school, I sometimes feel that the Italian education system hasn't prepared me particularly well for highly competitive international applications. When I compare myself with applicants from other countries, I worry that I've simply had fewer opportunities to build the kind of profile UK universities are looking for. At the same time, I do believe I have a strong personal story to tell and a great deal of drive. My application will be submitted in October, so I only have a few months left. Here is my current profile: * Current school grades: **10/10** in every subject except Mathematics, Physics and Natural Sciences (7/10), although I feel these marks may not fully reflect my abilities due to inconsistencies in teaching and assessment. * IGCSE Biology (A) and IGCSE Mathematics (B). I took these initially out of personal interest, without realising their potential relevance for university applications. * Highest GPA in the Dual Diploma programme. * English C1 and Spanish B2; I'm currently studying additional languages such as German and French. * National-level Taekwondo competitor, although I have not yet achieved a black belt. * I write interdisciplinary scientific and theatrical pieces for a non-profit organisation in my spare time. * I'm considering volunteering in a nursing home to gain more experience working with people. * I don't have programming experience yet, but I'm considering learning Python. * I have access to a microscope and I'm actively looking for meaningful ways to gain hands-on scientific experience before applying. My current UCAS choices are still being finalised, but I am considering a range of universities including highly competitive options (such as Oxford (maybe I shouldn't even bother tbf), UCL, King's College London, Edinburgh, and Manchester) alongside slightly less competitive but still strong programmes. One concern I have is that, despite my interest in science, I haven't always had the opportunity to receive strong teaching in every STEM subject, so I'm unsure whether my current profile accurately reflects my potential. Given this profile, do you think it's realistic to aim for competitive UK Neuroscience programmes? If so, what are the two or three highest-impact things I could still do before October to strengthen my application?
Given that I have limited time before submitting my UCAS application in October, would you invest that time in learning Python?
I'm applying for undergraduate Neuroscience (/Experimental Psychology at Oxford) programmes and want to make the best use of the months I have left. If you think Python is worth prioritising, would you recommend focusing on a recognised course or certification, or would it be more valuable to build one or two small independent projects that demonstrate practical skills? I'd also appreciate recommendations for courses or certifications that you think would genuinely strengthen a competitive UCAS application, rather than simply adding another certificate.
How realistic is it to AIM for a career as a senior academic researcher today?
Research feels almost like a vocation to me because what motivates me most is the possibility of contributing new knowledge. If that contribution isn't realistic, I'm not sure pursuing science would make sense for me. For context, I am now considering neuroscience, or maybe molecular genetics. I don't see myself in clinical practice or teaching in secondary school. What I hope for is a career centred on research, ideally combined with university teaching, scientific writing and public engagement. From your experience, is this still a realistic ambition today? Does academia still allow people to spend most of their careers doing meaningful research, or has the reality changed so much that I should rethink my expectations? If you were advising an 18-year-old with this motivation, would you still encourage them to pursue this path?
Is it realistically possible to build a successful career in biological research in Italy?
I'm considering a long-term career in neuroscience or genetics research and I'm trying to understand whether Italy can realistically offer the opportunities needed to build an impactful academic career. From your experience, can researchers do internationally competitive work while staying in Italy, or do most eventually need to move abroad because of funding, career progression or research infrastructure? I'm especially interested in hearing from people who have worked both in Italy and abroad.
Which countries would you recommend for someone aiming for a long-term research career in neuroscience?
My goal is to become a researcher, not a clinician, and I'm looking for undergraduate programmes in English that provide a strong foundation for a future PhD and an academic career. Beyond rankings, which countries do you think offer the best environment for training future neuroscience researchers? Would you still consider the UK one of the best choices today, especially given how quickly AI is changing biomedical research? Additional information At the moment, the UK is my first choice because of its undergraduate Neuroscience degrees. I'm also open to countries such as the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany or the Nordic countries. In Italy, I've mostly ruled out studying, except for universities like Trento or Pavia, as I haven't found programmes that fit what I'm’m looking for. Do you think that's a sensible approach, or should I reconsider Italy or other countries?
How would you choose an undergraduate field if your long-term goal was to make a meaningful contribution to research on human biology?
I'm trying to identify the field in which I could make the greatest long-term scientific contribution, rather than simply choosing the subject I currently find most interesting. I'm drawn to research that helps us better understand human beings, especially questions at the intersection of biology, cognition, behaviour and ethics (i am really into philosophy and am good with languages and both creative and scientific writing!). I enjoy connecting ideas across disciplines, thinking about fundamental questions, and communicating complex concepts through writing. However, I'm still unsure whether I would be happiest in a predominantly wet-lab environment or in more computational, theoretical or integrative research. I'm also uncertain how advances in AI will reshape biomedical research over the coming decades, and whether this should influence the choice of an undergraduate discipline. If you were advising a student with these interests, what criteria would you use to choose a field? Are there particular traits or experiences that predict whether someone is better suited to neuroscience, genetics, or another area of biomedical research? What do you think will matter most for building a career with lasting scientific impact? Additional information At the moment, I'm considering undergraduate Neuroscience programmes in the UK. In Italy, since there isn't really a direct equivalent, I'm also looking at Molecular Genetics as a possible alternative foundation. I'm genuinely open-minded and would value an unbiased perspective on how these paths compare, especially for someone whose ultimate goal is a research career rather than clinical practice.
