I'm currently a third year computer science major, and I've recently discovered a passion for data science and machine learning. I've been trying to learn more about it, and I've found many online resources (Udacity's data analyst, machine learning nano degrees, Stanford's Intro to Machine...

I remember when I was just an upcoming freshman at my high school and I was eager to get involved with my school and the community around me. However... I'm getting more and more stressed out on one area where colleges/universities like to see in their applications: extracurriculars. I haven't...

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...

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?

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....

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...

I love science but I also love writing short stories and sometimes I wonder if I will ever regret not choosing English as my major. I love biology and everything that involves it but how do you know if you are making the correct decision?
#undecided

I have realized that I don't know how to study, I could be reviewing vocabulary and the next day I'll forget it. I have tried many methods but I don't think they are helping.

I am a high school senior who has always wanted to pursue a career in veterinary medicine, and I have been doing thorough research on the various aspects of the occupation. I am very interested in veterinary dentistry or surgery, and I would really like to specialize in these areas. Is there...

I am a high school senior who is considering going to UC Davis and majoring in animal science. I plan to go there because they have the best veterinary school in the nation, and the vet school also accepts around 40 undergrad students from Davis, which is the most, and around 10 students from...

After having a career as a programmer and business analyst leading teams and projects for over 20 years, why am I always overlooked for a promotion to management, though I've expressed interest? #notpromoted #howtobecomeamanager #needadegree

I currently work as a Behavioral Interventionist. Recently, I've grown an interest on maybe pursuing my graduate studies in Applied Behavior Analysis. What's the process to become a BCBA? How do you make your way up, etc? Thanks! #boardcertified #psychology #aba #behavior-analysis

I'm looking to taking the Registered Behavior Technician Examination soon! Any tips in what I should look forward to? #rbt #psychology #applied-behavior-analysis #behavioral-intervention

Can anyone in the field give me an explanation as to what it is and what they do? Thanks! #industrial-organizational-psychology

Just wanted to get tips from other BT's out there! #behavioral-intervention #ASD

I'm currently almost finished with my Bachelor's. I also currently work as a Behavioral Therapist. But are there alternative options? Psychology is a pretty vast field and you can do so much with it. I was wondering on what everyone's thoughts were. #psychology #school #college #associatesdegree

Hello! I have been considering in Minoring in something lately. Of course, I'd like to minor in something beneficial to my major. I'd eventually like to pursue Applied Behavioral Analysis or Clinical Psychology in Grad school. Any tips? #college-minor #college #college-major #psychology...

I was looking into pursuing this field of study for grad school as well. But can anyone who's already in the program/or beginning their graduate studies in the program share their thoughts? #family-therapy #individual-and-family-services #counseling-psychology #therapist #psychology

Currently, I work as a Behavioral Therapist. Would this be a good way to get my foot into the clinical aspect of the psychology field? #clinicalpsychology #psychology #mental-health-counseling

I'm definitely planning on pursuing my graduate studies. But I don't know in what. Any suggestions and ideas would be greatly appreciated! #psychology

I get really nervous before a job interview and feel like I may come across as less confident because of my nerves.

I sometimes find it difficult to figure out the best way to study for exams and tests. I feel that no matter how much time I give myself or how early I start studying, I still don't feel as confident as I would like to.

I'm open to answers from both fellow students and former students for this question! I'm currently taking a literature class, and I absolutely love it, but that's in regards to all the novels on our reading syllabus being outstanding reads and my own innate passion for literature. When it comes...

Rather than being one or the other, I'm wondering if you can be both. I'm aware that each type of editor has a different skill set; however, I love the idea of doing both types of editing and I wouldn't want to limit myself to one type. Plus, wouldn't the flexibility of being able to do either...

Most of the schools that I've applied to offer summer programs that have classes and they offer college credit. Should I do that or should I just go to the CC nearby and then move for the school year? #college #Summer #Puzzled

I've been accepted to some colleges and I am stuck in deciding where to go. Some are kinda pricey and I don't know whether to keep it safe and go to a low cost school or take the risk and go to the more risky schools.
