Punto FijoIs the IB Program going to help me get into my dream school if I struggled during the first two years of high school?
For reference I was averaging a 3.2 for my freshman and sophomore years of high school and now I have been accepted into the IB Diploma program due to my exceptional testing abilities alongside my out of school activities. I have made improvements to my schoolwork but I was wondering if it was possible for me to still be accepted into Ivy-League schools. Princeton or MIT are my ultimate goals, especially since I'm on the East Coast, and so does doing the IB Diploma program help me with this at all? Also does it help with the application of scholarships to aid my education, or is it simply an outside diploma that I can put on my resume?

What is the best time to take the SAT?
Is it easier to get a higher score during certain months? For example, I imagine many people taking the test in August will have just completed some sort of summer bootcamp, which would make it more difficult to do well for those who didn’t (assuming more people who take it are more prepared and therefore do better).

NakuruAre there particular internship opportunities you should prioritize while in college for Computer Science?
I'm planning out my first real internship at the moment, but I'm having a hard time picking from the opportunities available to me. I've heard "pick something local" for a potential job opportunity, but I've also heard "the bigger [the Org.] the better," because it's more notable on your resume. Does anyone have a fail-safe rule to go by? Or maybe an alternative perspective? #Fall24

How can you find fulfillment in whatever career you decide to pursue?
I think it's important to do what you love. But it isn't always so simple, so I was wondering how you can balance that with working a job because it provides financial security. For example, I want to pursue law school and become a lawyer, even though that wasn't my first choice for something I would thoroughly enjoy doing.

What is the best way to get involved with law in high school and how can I prepare? #Fall24
I'm in 9th grade. I am a dual-enrollment student. I am interested in psychology, writing, journalism, and law. I have done volunteering relating to immigration law. I find defense law very interesting. What is the best way to get involved with law in high school and how can I prepare.
Oxnardwhat inspired you to do corporate law ?
Hi I am in 9 grade and I was thinking about going into corporate law. I have done swap meet justice, it is basically where we help people apply for citizenship and help them renew their residency. I wanted to ask you, how did you know you wanted to be a corporate lawyer, what school did you go to, what was your major, and what was job hunting like. was it hard finding a job as a corporate lawyer.

Does university prestige matter in the Accouting industry?
I was recently accepted through Early Action to Western Washington University (WWU), an accredited university in my state with a 93% acceptance rate. I decided not to apply to the University of Washington (UW) because I knew I lacked the extracurricular activities and how hard it was to get accepted to their business school. I've heard the "if you don't try you won't know" speech from many people, but I didn't have the motivation to apply to UW. At one point, I even considered taking a gap year, but knowing myself I would get too comfortable and push back the opportunity of gaining hands-on experience during that time. I gained interest in accounting by taking a small business accounting class at the community college. Not knowing what career path I wanted to go down, I found out that accounting had some job security. I'm also a part of the Running Start program, which means I'll have enough credits to earn my associate degree by the time I start at WWU. The classes I'm taking right now, and in the future, are business-related classes like accounting and economics. I recently got my first job, which is a big step for me, but it also means that finding an internship right now doesn't feel realistic. My ultimate goal is to become a CPA. I'm open to working in either public accounting or industry, though I've heard that starting with public accounting can lead to more lucrative career opportunities down the line if you gain the right experience. I've researched if Big4 representatives come down to WWU, and they do, but the number of recruitments at WWU is very low. Mid-tier firms, like Moss Adams, recruit a bigger number. I guess the advice I'm looking for is from people who were in the same position as me. What did you do during your time in college? Am I ruining my chances of getting into the Big 4? A lot of worries have been forming in my head about the future, but I try to remind myself that I should be taking it one step at a time. Any advice is greatly appreciated. #Fall24

What should I do for my college future?
What should I do? I've been thinking about what I should take in college and really would love to work with animals. A vet assistant to then a vet technician would be my goals. Heres the thing, there salary isnt ideal for my future and I feel I need a second major or career choice. I would enjoy learning languages and want to travel the world. I wouldnt mind working and typing at a desk but only would really do it if its for animal care and i would work at a shelter or such. I have ideas for side hobbies I could do but they are small and not money worthy. Anyone know what i should do? I was thinking about taking a second major but not sure what the animal care field would have for that. #Fall24

AnaheimWhat advice would you give to prospective CRNA school students?
I have considered changing my dream health career choice many times. But a CRNA has always stood out to me, and has remained my #1 choice within the health field. I’m currently in college, expecting to apply for Nursing school next semester. I expect CRNA school to be more complex than Nursing school, so I was wondering to receive advice on this career journey of mine. Thank you!
