Is my SAT and GPA good enough for UCLA or UNC Chapel Hill?

Is my SAT and GPA good enough for UCLA or UNC Chapel Hill?
Do you think I have a chance to get into UCLA/UNC with: -SAT score probably around 2000 -SAT Subject in French and Math 1 -GPA probably more or less 2.5 -Volunteer work in a hospital with children Also, I'm from Poland so I'm international student. If you think theres no chance for me to study in UCLA or UNC could you suggest other good universities that could accept me?

No, you're GPA needs to be at least 3.0. Most people who apply have more than a 3.5. And planning to get 2000 and actually getting 2000 are two different things. Life doesn't always work out the way we plan.
2 :
All public state universities in CA accept very few international students. UCLA has over 25,000 undergrad students and their international student population is only 2%. You are much better off looking into schools in other states. Your GPA is way too low. Most colleges will want a 2.7+ check out site below for other schools. click on the major you want to do, then a state to see all schools with that major

Questions about applying for a Polish visa LA, CA.?


Questions about applying for a Polish visa LA, CA.?
I'm applying for a student visa for Poland and I intend to stay for 6 months. Just a few questions. I'm applying by mail, and it doesn't make it clear on the embassy website where I should address the application requirements to. I'm assuming it's the Polish embassy near Santa Monica, CA, but just wanted to make sure. And also, what are their acceptable forms of payment for the visa fee? Is cash okay? Thank you in advance.

How are Poles treated in Edinburgh?


How are Poles treated in Edinburgh?
I am from Poland and I am planning to learn at University of Edinburgh. I've been many times to Scotland (I have relatives in Lochwinnoch) but I never actually lived there. Is there any discrimination among students? How do Scots treat people from Poland? I've heard about Scottish youngsters attacking people from Poland and shouting, that 'Polish people steal their jobs' etc..

Much better than they treat people from England!
2 :
Nobody ever attacked me in Edinburgh and i didn't see any discrimination. I am Polish too.
3 :
During world war 2, many poles trained near Edinburgh. Quite a few married local girls and settled down. So Edinburgh people are more than used to Poles and people with Polish names. Eveyone from Edinburgh knows somebody of Polish origin. There is no anti-polish predudice. They like Poles and even marry them! You will have to get used to the old jokes such as: !. Pole reading eye test chart " read it? I know him! 2. People saying "Mansion, kiwi, pledge, .well its Polish! ArgHHHHHHHHHHH!
4 :
No doubt, better than they are treated in Poland, or they wouldn't be coming here in droves.

I would go with Germany. The country helped each other after World War 2 and great countries don't forget their debt( as they are both). Check source please.

Adult primary, General practice or Internal medicine. You are right to go get checked out. It could be as simple as an iron deficiency. Good luck!
2 :
You would visit your Primary Care Physician. He/she will then refer you to the proper specialist if needed.

AIESECERS, what type of visa should I apply for a Development Internship?
I hold an Indian passport. I'm going to Poland this spring, and obviously being a non-EU resident I require a visa. I was wondering what type of visa AIESECERS generally apply for when they need one? Student visa? Visa with right to employment? Private visit visa, whatever? I won't be earning any salary since I'm on a DT. Best answer gets 10 points! Any help would be appreciated, please! :D

I did AIESEC in Krakow, Poland. I needed a working visa. My local AIESEC chapter told me the type of visa to apply for. Ask your local or the Polish AIESEC chapter.

Are there any programs for foreign students who want to improve their English?


Are there any programs for foreign students who want to improve their English?
I mean, I'm 16-year-old girl from Poland and I'm totally crazy about English and England. It's my dream to go to England and improve the language, visiting London would be awesome too! But there is always money problems. Do you know if there are some programs for students or something like that which offer the opportunity to come to England and stay there for not much money? I know it seems to be kind of unreal but why not ask?

Good question! Your question is very interesting. If you get answers, let me know it.
2 :
Well, you do NOT need any specific programs to improve your language skills at all if you are short of money, you can actually start on your own! Actually, broadening/improving one's language skills is a very broad concept, it should be done in more than one ways at the same time which is highly recommended. One can NOT become better ONLY in one area e.g. chatting or speaking, one MUST improve skills in ALL dimensions of the language! Learning language well requires being as active as possible and making the learning as FUN for oneself as possible. Taking lessons is always important, but equally important are these: 1) Listen/watch: Keep listening to internet radio stations like BBC, watch TV shows in English (use only subtitles, NOT voice dubbing in case you are not a native English speaker!), etc. 2) Write/communicate: Try to find discussion forums from the web about things that you find interesting (music/various artists, hobbies, etc.) and start communicating there with other people using only English. Start using instant messaging systems in case you find some new friends or start emailing them. 3) Buy yourself a proper dictionary, and each time when you see a strange word that you do not understand, look it up. Putting words into their context is one of the best ways to broaden one's vocabulary and grammar knowledge, the more you read and write the better. Memorising is NOT the best way to go with learning grammar or any other language areas! The main point in ANY language learning is to make it as fun as possible for yourself. Try to find topics that INTEREST you, read online newspapers (Times, Guardian, Independent...), listen to BBC/NBC and other radio stations online, if you find a discussion forum for e.g. your favourite hobby or your idols in music do participate there, etc. The key word here is CONTEXT, which means that it is easier to learn new words and their usage as well as grammar when you use/see them in their real CONTEXT. I'm sorry there is no easy way out with this, one really must develop language skills in ALL these language "levels" or dimensions in order to reach better language skills!! Last but not least: NEVER EVER use ANY online translators, they are nothing but utter rubbish!! English is practically EVERYWHERE in the online world these days, you just have to use your imagination to find it! Learning pace is always personal, it takes the time it takes so there is no reason to hurry it up too much. If you do, you will not learn so well. Good luck!

You don't need English to come to England. Polish will get you understood in at least 50% of restaurants.
