Does your ethnicity play a key role in being considered for a scholarship?

Why don't admissions officers tell students why they were rejected?

I have been receiving my college acceptance (and sadly, rejection) letters lately. I understand that admission officers have to read literally thousands of applications but it hurts to not know why you weren't selected for their school. There are students out there getting rejected by their...

Honestly, what is college like?

What is a typical college day like? What do you do? I have some friends who love their college experience and others hate it. I want a holistic but honest idea of college. I am looking forward to it but I just want to know. Everyone's experience is different but I'd still like to know....

After applying to universities as a transfer student, how long does it usually take for schools to get back to you?

I applied to many schools before December 2017 as a community college transfer student. I sent my fall 2017 transcripts to these schools back in January and I still have not heard back from four of them, so I'm just wondering how long it should take on average. #college #transfer-admissions

What exactly does it mean to be a board-certified surgeon?

Why is it that board-certified physicians/surgeons are held to a higher standard than others? What exactly does it mean to be board-certified? Just more certificates from exams? How does one become board-certified? #boardcertified #surgeon #physician #doctor #certified

What is a typical day for a neurosurgeon like?

I want to know more about their shifts and the time they spend at a hospital. Also, how they manage their time to work and rest throughout the day. How long are most neurosurgeries? #neurosurgery #medicine #hospital-and-health-care

Is it wise to try and balance school/a career and a fairly intensive hobby at the same time?

I'm passionate about art! However, I don't want to try and make it into a career. I won't go into the reasons behind that right now, but I do want to keep creating on the side and continually improving, something that's really only possible if I dedicate a lot of time and effort to it, in...

What events (in university) helped you decide what you were going to do after university?

I have a general goal I want to achieve- make people's lives better. At this point in time, I have equal interest in doing so either through studying psychology and becoming an advisor or something that can provide greater mental health resources in institutions/communities or by going into...

What are the pros and cons of attending college out of state?

As of right now I am debating between attending a UC that has offered me almost no financial aid and a college in New York that has offered me a considerable amount in scholarships. What would be the pros and cons between the two? Would the cost of living expenses in New York outweigh the...

How does being waitlisted for a college work?

I recently got waitlisted to UCLA and admitted to UCSD. Should I accept my position on the waitlist for UCLA? Am I able to be on the waitlist for UCLA while also accepting the admission to UCSD in case I do not end up being accepted to UCLA?

How can I be taken more seriously as a striving women engineer?

I have been studying to become a geological engineer and recently was accepted to a very prestigious engineering university. The only problem is many classmates and teachers have told me that because I am a girl I will struggle to find work in my field and should look into something else....

How did you know your major was right for you?

I recently chose my major for college but I've been having some second thoughts. I don't have any close family members who went to college and it would be really great to hear from someone who has experience how exactly you knew you'd made the right decision when choosing your major. #major...
