I have university questions about med school. Please help?


I have university questions about med school. Please help?
I am a student from a Central European country, Poland, which now belongs to the EU. I study in the IB system and I'm aiming for studying at an American university, preferably Ivy League. My questions are: 1) Do I have a chance of getting in? I have always had very good results academically. I finished my freshmen year with a 6.1 average out of possible 7.0. I did very good in my exams, scoring 5/6 and 6/6 in every of them except one where I had 4/6. I got awards for outstanding achievement in mathematics, art and humanities. I participated in three after-school activities and have a lot of interests like painting, writing, traveling, windsurfing and others. I plan on getting even higher results academically in my sophomore year, also participating in more after-school activities and doing MUN to widen the range of my interests. I've also had a quite interesting storyline of life. 2) What are the financial policies of Ivy League universities? I heard that Ivy League colleges first accept the student, and then they worry about their finances, and that many students' tuition is covered entirely by the school. Is this true? How does it work? 3) Which of the Ivy League colleges is the easiest/hardest to get into? 4) I plan on either going to med school or interior design, or maybe even a more humanities-related subject if I get into Ivy League. But my biggest area is dental medicine. 5) Currently, I’m in the IB system, which guarantees that you will get into most universities without exams (if you finish, of course). If I get an IB Diploma, do I have to take SATs to get into Ivy League? 6) What are other great universities in the United States or United Kingdom, or generally in Europe, that are on the educational level of Ivy League? If you've got anything else to add, or you are a graduate of any Ivy League college, please feel welcome to share your thoughts with me. Thanks!

Hi, The Ivy League consists of the finest institutions known to man. I don't know how your exams work, but the schools are very strict about admissions exams. I think you would have to take at least the SAT, maybe more. IB is not considered much in the Ivy League, it is a usual standard for the students. The schools are very competitive, but your test scores and your unique situation may get you admission. Good luck!

i need you help and feedback on this essay!!?


i need you help and feedback on this essay!!?
This is for a scholarship, please point out any mistakes, even content related. THANKS!!!!! When at the age of thirteen I stepped into a plane heading for America, I had no idea of what lay ahead of me. My parents repeatedly told me that in the United States I would have a better future, and a chance to pursue a fulfilling career. In Poland, I was always a good student, but in America I had to do more than excel at schoolwork. I had to conquer the challenge of learning a new language and assimilating myself to a distinct culture. Fortunately, I was blessed with a caring, motivating family and an education that I learned to love and appreciate. My family always stressed the impact of learning, and the results that a college education can bring. However, I did not decide to go to college because it might grant me prestige or a better financial status. For me, learning is a joy in itself and I think that it celebrates human dignity. Reason makes people commit moral actions, which in turn contribute to peace and order in society as a whole. College so far has shown me how wide the horizons of knowledge really are, and how much more there is still to learn. I have a strong urge to complete my education with a master or a doctoral degree. I exactly remember when I was four years old and my grandmother thought me how to read. It was probably the best gift anyone could give me. Since then I began collecting books and uncovering new realms of imagination. It is mostly my love for reading that made me dream of becoming an English major. I think that if I can become a literature professor and translate this wisdom into others’ lives, then I can shape them into better human beings. What’s more, I would receive enormous satisfaction from constantly teaching and learning. When I volunteered at a kindergarten there was nothing more satisfying to me than seeing a spark of insight on a child’s face. This scholarship would be extremely helpful because my family’s funds are limited.Although my parents received college degrees in Poland, their inability to speak English lowered their chances of getting good jobs. Nevertheless, they inspired me to work hard and to dedicate myself to helping others. Being from a different country does not discourage me from learning, on the contrary it motivates me to be outstanding. The fear that I experienced when I walked into that plane five years ago, had passed. Now I am left with motivation, curiosity and a dream of an influential career that I have yet to fulfill.

Your English is really good!! Almost nothing sounds awkwardly worded or anything. There are just a few mistakes: On line 20, you put, "my grandmother thought"... you misspelled "taught". It should be "my grandmother taught". "I think that if I can become a literature professor and translate this wisdom into others’ lives, then I can shape them into better human beings." The following sounds better: "I think that if I can become a literature professor and translate this wisdom into others’ lives, I can shape them into better human beings." "Being from a different country does not discourage me from learning, on the contrary it motivates me to be outstanding." This sentence has incorrect punctuation. It should have a semi-colon, like this: "Being from a different country does not discourage me from learning; on the contrary, it motivates me to be outstanding." "The fear that I experienced when I walked into that plane five years ago, had passed." This contains an unnecessary comma. Instead, try this: "The fear that I experienced when I walked into that plane five years ago had passed." Those are the only errors I found! Good job. I'm also working on my scholarship applications today... I guess I'm lucky in that I'm doing them in my first language. Haha. Good luck!

What do do with my spear time?


What do do with my spear time?
I am a medical student from Norway, studying in Poland in the second year. This semester I have allot of spear time, something I am not used with. I want to use this time to do something "cool" and interesting. I look at myself as a charismatic person with a wide variety of interests and skills. I have thought of e.g Write some articles and try to have them published, try to do some research about something that interests me, learn a useful skill etc. Generally speaking, doing something which I can have benefits of later in life, personally and in my career. But I cant think of anything yet! Do anyone have a good idea?

Start chucking those spears! I think you mean "spare time".
3 :
You might consider an English class, to help you in your spelling...
4 :
If you have "spear" time then try practicing to throw the javelin for the Olympics. Or go hunting.
5 :
how about SPEAR throwing in your SPARE time!
6 :
I would practice on standard archery targets at about 20 meters.
7 :
spare* and volunteer
8 :
you can try using your spear to catch fish or lance it at targets far away. maybe you can train throwing the spear as far as you can and hopefully qualify for the javelin team in the next olympics. just dont impale anyone with the spear.
9 :
Shame on all you people! Making fun of a simple spelling mistake made by someone whose first language is probably not English. Oh! ha ha ha! My advice would be to read some of the classics. Perhaps Shakespare.

Cheating 23yrs.how do?

Cheating 23yrs.how do?
I previously posted a question on what to write to my cheating husband of 23 years, most of you said there's really not much to write. I him 6 times,he said it was just emotional, now i found out he was living with a foreign exchange student that he hired from poland for 5 months in our bed at our vacation home where he was opening a restaurant. I spoke with her she admitted all the details(she back in her country)and wants forgiveness because she was only 19 when this happened. I filed for divorce, and I've been vomiting up to 3times per day, they just released me from the hospital with 8 bleeding ulcers, I still feel like crap and he brought me flowers, still won't admit it, how do i live in this house will him for the next 60 days. not only that, he got us into forclusure we lost the other home and he used the money to fund his business. I feel so stupid how do i get the strength to get through this shattered life?

first and formost..i'm sorry for boys with stupid penises...they don't deserve you.....how dare him....after what you have been through...you shouldn't feel sorry for yourself...pick your feet up and go.....in the bible it says..."what goes around, comes around" or was that justin timberlake?? idk.... and if anybody gives me a thumbs down..you know better...and if anybody reports this...they know the cold hard truth.......BLESSED ME!!!

That is a lot to have to deal with. Is there no where else you can stay while you wait for divorce to go through? It is going to be hard to be in the same house with him. If you have to stay, you have to gather yourself up and consciensly put a guard up and refuse to engage him.

I'm not a religious man... but one thing I do believe.. karma is the best revenge. What goes around comes around. Leave him, get yourself healthy and your mind cleared and move on with your life. Sounds like he moved on 23 years ago.

Put this in the hands of god he's big enough to handle anything if you trust and believe.

Think of all the things you always wanted to do but couldn't because you had this millstone around your neck. Think - once you're free of him you can get a job and a little place to live - even a studio flat will seem palatial when you're the queen of all you survey. You make all your own choices, eat what you like, clean up when you feel like it (or not) sleep on the sofa if you feel like it, get any pet you want, do whatever you want.... My life shattered too, but now I have a better one because it's all mine!
10 :
Cheating is something that goes on a lot everywhere. It is so common that i would probably have to say a lot of men and women who are married do it. I know how you feel. As little girls people learn to have this great wedding and great husband and etc. Well sometimes life throws you a curve ball. In your case it is several curve balls. This is what you need to do. Don't go digging deeper. Just let it be. Sometime it is better not to know than to know. Just leave him and don't ask for additional detail. Just remember you have done nothing wrong. He has to live with this for the rest of his life.
11 :
You need to dig deep inside yourself to figure out whether you can forgive him. 1. The interesting thing about the pain you are suffering is that you perceive it as inflicted by him. Do you know that the pain you are feeling is due to his deceit and your perception that you are the victim? 2. While it is true that you are the victim, the forgiveness you (and only you) have the power to offer may affect him in a small way. He might be relieved. 3. The truth about forgiveness is that it actually affects and cleanses and purifies the person forgiving. I have felt victimized by deceit - it took me a long time to forgive the person who deceived me. 4. It did not affect her that I held that enmity in my heart; it affected me; it affected my personal relationships with my friends/ my family/ my future girlfriend. 5. It may sound backwards but the sooner you forgive him - the better you will feel and the sooner you can move on. Good luck, strength comes from community - look to your family, and your church. Sharing this story over and over will hurt, but each time you share it will become a little less painful. You may also need to be on a PPI (e.g. Nexium or Prevacid) - talk to an ENT, or a GE Dr.
