About Can someone get into medical school with these requirements

Can someone get into medical school with these requirements?
My girlfriend is going to be z senior and college and she is trying to get in to medical school. She's works harder than anyone I kow and because of of it she has a 3.95 gpa and a 4.0 in her sciences courses. She has received numerous scholarships and cast year was accepted to a paid internship at the university of Toledo for the summer. Only 2 people were accepted out of about 100 applicants. She also has participated in research since her freshman year and has her named published with a specific experiment that was published. Unfortunately she does not do well at standardized testing, she only received a 19 on her mcat. Can she get in to medical school with everything I just listed? They've already asked her for her secondary application and yes she's taken a Kaplan course. She also has letters of recommendation from highly respected doctors. Thanks for your input. I was asking for myself I have no idea what the minimums are. I'm looking for possible personal experience or someone knowledgeable on the subject. Thanks for wasting your time to just to be a dbag.

She still has ~20% chance of getting at least one acceptance according to standard acceptance charts, but she needs at least a 25 on the MCAT, to get above the 50% point. There's something very strange about getting a high GPA in science courses but a very low MCAT. She may find Medical School too difficult.
2 :
Some people are just not good at taking standardized tests. Believe it or not, every admissions office knows this and looks at other qualifications before making an initial judgment. She will be going on personal interviews and THAT is where she needs to shine. With a stellar interview, her GPA, rec letters, published research, and her extracurricular work, there should be at least one administrator who recognizes her gifts. Yes, the admission standards seem like they are set in stone, but there ARE ways around them. Tell her to work on her interview skills and really wow them when she goes in. If they like her enough, rules can sometimes be mysteriously bent. ;-)

About What do you think of this Spanish vacation

What do you think of this Spanish vacation? Any suggestions?
I am working in Spain for 6 months, and my family has decided to come and visit me as their first vacation in Europe. They're letting me plan their stay, as I'm more familiar with the country than them. They're coming in the end of May. Originally, their trip was 7 days, but they extended it a day. I haven't filled that day with anything yet and am open to suggestions. Day 1: Depart United States Day 2: Arrive in Madrid (morning). Day in Madrid. Day 3: Day trip to Toledo (train). Day 4: Train to Zaragoza. Day in Zaragoza. Day 5: Day trip to Barcelona (bus). Day 6: Bus to Bilbao. Day in Bilbao. Day 7: Day trip to San Sebastian (bus). Day 8: Day 9: Bus to Madrid. Depart Madrid. Arrive in United States. Recommendations or suggestions for day 8? Or any changes I should make? Anything that doesn't say "day trip" isn't a day trip... It's pick up and move. So, the trip to Zaragoza isn't a day trip... It's go to Zaragoza. Reasons for the above places: Bilbao is where I'm living now. Zaragoza is where I lived previously. Toledo is my favorite place in Spain (personally). Madrid and Barcelona because, well, they're the two biggest tourist destinations. And if it is too hectic (which I realized as I was making it), what should be skipped?

Day 8: RELAX ALL DAY
2 :
edit. O.K it would have been a HUGE message other-wise Day 1: Depart United States Day 2: Arrive in Madrid (morning). Day in Madrid. Day 3: Day trip to Toledo (train). I would of said that is o.k but try and get an early train to Toledo so you can see it but then be back and explore Madrid some more. Day 4: Train to Zaragoza. Day in Zaragoza. Day 5: Day trip to Barcelona (bus). I understand why you have done this. Good idea, however inless the bus is a lot cheaper than the train, or even check flight's. I would die of 6 hours of traveling in one day Day 6: Bus to Bilbao. Day in Bilbao. Day 7: Day trip to San Sebastian (bus). Day 8: maybe you can visit the French side then ? and make it into the Basque country. if it's Summer, then you've visted one of the best beaches Donostia. Bilbo is "quite" near some great Green beaches also Day 9: Bus to Madrid. Depart Madrid. Arrive in United States. =) I think your trip should be o.k then So then maybe in day 8 it should be to relax or look around Bizkaia and Araba. I think you would be able to fit in Gorbeia or another Natural park in Bizkaia but inless they really want to. I wouldn't. I hope they have a nice trip
3 :
Okay, first, if you are living in Bilbao now, WHY are you putting it on your trip? You have one, sleep deprived day in Madrid. Madrid merits at least 3 fully awake days. You take a train to Zaragoza, and then "spend a day there." HOW long will the train take? And HOW early are you willing to get up, pack, and get to the train station? Day trip to Barça? Are you KIDDING? Again! At least 3 - 4 days! AT LEAST! What time are you departing Madrid? I'd just go there on Day 8, and spend a little time, there. Do you know people in these places? Are you going to try to hook up? Do you think they will be able to drop everything and see you then? (I found a whole week in Madrid wasn't enough to get together with two friends...and I went to one's family's restaurant TWICE! And still couldn't hook up with her!
4 :
Too many day trips, too much time spent on buses. A transatlantic flight is a killer, wether you slept during the flight or not, so the first day should be one of recovering and taking things easy. Most of those cities, specially Madrid and Barcelona are definetely worth more than one day. You are trying to go to too many places over a too short period of time. Skip at least 2 cities, cos you're gonna kill your beloved ones and they will leave Spain without knowing where exactly have they been to. Personally I'd write off Zaragoza, and Barcelona (a must see, yes, but too far from both Bilbao and Madrid, unless you go by plane). So, I'd stick to this; days 2,3 and 4, Madrid, day 5 Toledo, days 6,7 Bilbao, and days 7,8, San Sebastian and perhaps the countyside, or Biarritz, Hendaye in France, or Pamplona.
5 :
Your family will know more about the public transport system than anything else! How about staying at least 2/3 days in one place to soak up a bit of atmosphere and get to know the place a bit etc?
6 :
I think that your trip does sound hectic, but do-able... You'll just be traveling a lot and getting up early to make sure you're leaving yourself enough time to see these places. I have taken day trips to both Madrid and Barcelona from Zaragoza, and have seen a lot of things both times. Not everything, but a lot of things. I also have flown from the US multiple times and can run on adrenaline fine the first day, and after a good night's sleep, am fine by the next day. Maybe day 8 could be another day trip from Bilbao to, say, Santander. Or just spend it in Bilbao/Madrid relaxing and doing some more leisurely exploring. Have fun.

About What are my chances of getting into Michigan State University as a transfer student with a 3.3 GPA

What are my chances of getting into Michigan State University as a transfer student with a 3.3 GPA?
I am a Michigan resident currently attending the University of Toledo. I am a second-year student (with enough credits to be considered a Junior) with a GPA of 3.3. I am working on getting it back up to at least a 3.4 at the end of this (my final) semester. My GPA used to be 3.6, but due to a terrible experience in a Calculus class dropped a bit. I am a member of a few organizations, including the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, and all of my grades so far, except for two, are B or higher (one of those two is a C+, and the other is a passing grade). Before I went to UT, I attended a community college for one semester and had a GPA of 3.7 there. In high school, I took two AP courses in my junior year (received a 4 on both exams) and received a National Honor Society scholarship, among other awards. What are my chances?

Hell yeah! Go STATE! 3.3 should be fine future Spartan :) I know people who got in with 2.5's from HS... not saying you should. Although if you want to get into certain schools within the university you need higher GPAs. Your GPA never transfers, only credits, so when you transfer you will start fresh. I was in the Eli Broad Business College, and to get into that you need at least a 3.4 GPA. For accounting program you need at least a 3.5 GPA. But that's AFTER you get into State, plus most departments don't have any requirements either. Hope that helps. Good luck! State is so much fun, god I miss college, graduating has its perks but school was a blast hahah :P Btw, I mentioned the GPA req for colleges within the university because some majors are easier to get into than others. Plus if you're going in as a junior, you have to pick a major and be in a school. Hence, my advice is apply to a school easy to get into, like maybe school of human resources or sociology at MSU. Once you're in, you can always switch majors and stuff easily.
2 :
It doesn't matter what your HS GPA was. All that matters is what your current GPA is. I don't know what the average GPA requirement is at Michigan state university but your GPA should be higher then their average because you are a transfer student and it's always harder for transfer students. I knew someone with a GPA of 3.7 at Arcadia, she tried to transfer to Penn State to be closer to her family but they wouldn't take her.

About Eviction process for The State of OHIO, Month to Month lease

Eviction process for The State of OHIO, Month to Month lease?
I am currently living in a 2 bedroom apt. in Ohio, (Toledo) and have a month to month lease. Due to being laid off and my wife not making enough income we are 2 months past due on rent and received both a 10 and 3 day notice. They wanted us out by Thursday the 12th but I have yet to receive any court papers regarding an eviction. I'm thinking that either the Ohio laws might not require that for a month to month lease, or that they don't want to spend money to file and have us be here longer so they are trying to "bully" us out. I need some legal insight please. I'm not sure how the laws works in this situation. i can move out by this coming Tuesday. but not by tomorrow

EVICTIONS in Ohio on a month to month agreementt.~ In addition to any one of the notices described above, tenants are entitled to a three day notice, delivered to the tenant or at the premises, demanding the tenant to move out. This notice must include the following words: "You are being asked to leave the premises, if you do not leave, an eviction action may be initiated against you. If you are in doubt regarding your legal rights and obligations as a tenant, it is recommended that you seek legal assistance." This is not only a required notice, it is good advice. An eviction notice is the most serious legal problem most people will ever have. It forces a tenant out of a home, and costs the landlord money and lost rental income. Eviction records are public and can seriously hurt tenants' credit ratings and references. Landlords who fail to follow proper legal procedures can end up owing their tenants damages or delaying even a legitimate eviction for months. Evictions should never be considered lightly and always deserve the attention of a lawyer. Landlords must deliver a notice to vacate to the tenant at least three days be- fore they file a suit of eviction with the court. The tenant does not have to move out during this time. If the landlord and tenant cannot reach an agreement within these three days or the tenant does not move out, the landlord can file an eviction with the court. This eviction complaint is called a Forcible Entry and Detainer action and will claim either that the lease has expired or that the tenant has violated the law or the lease. The Court will serve the tenant with a Summons by leaving it at the tenant's residence, by certified mail or personal delivery, notifying the tenant when and where to appear in court. The tenant is entitled to five working days between the service of the summons and the date of the trial. Stapled to the Summons will be the landlord's complaint usually prepared by the landlord's lawyer, asking the court to order the tenants to leave the premises and to pay any unpaid rent. The Summons also tells the tenants to contact a lawyer or the local Legal Aid Society. If the tenant does not show up for trial according to the instructions on the Summons, the court will probably order the tenant to move out and pay whatever rent is claimed to be unpaid. If tenants do not want to argue about their evictions but contest the amount of money that is claimed owed to their landlords, they must file a written Answer. The Answer must deny the amount owed and must be filed with the Court according to the instructions on the Summons. Ordinarily, if the tenants or their attorneys show up and raise questions about the landlord’s right to the eviction, the judge will postpone the trial for up to eight days, or more if the tenant pays a bond to protect the landlord’s interest. If the tenant fails to appear in court or the landlord wins the trial, the tenant usually still has up to ten days to voluntarily move out, depending upon what the judge orders. If the tenant does not leave voluntarily the tenant’s belongings will be moved and the tenant will be prohibited from returning. In most jurisdictions in Montgomery County the landlord must pay a fee to the bailiff or sheriff to lawfully remove the tenant from the premises, by force if necessary, and out the tenant’s belongings in storage. The moving and storage company doesn’t have to take all of the tenant’s property. Clothes, medicine, food, pictures, and damaged items are usually put in a dumpster. The tenant must pay all storage costs before the storage company will release the belongings from storage. After 3 days the storage company can sell the tenant’s property to pay the storage fees. In other jurisdictions, the tenant’s belongings are put on the curb. You can check with the clerk of courts to determine what is your local procedure.~

ABC Warehouse lines?
I was shopping there today in the Toledo, Ohio store. Showing up at 8am, I was able to nab the tv I wanted and get in line which was about 100 yards long. I was about 70 yards from the checkout counter where they only had 3 clerks working. We moved about 15 feet in 40 minutes?! I finally had to give up due to fatigue incurred in lines at other stores earlier this morning. I have purchased digital recorders, tvs, mp3 players, and a refrigerator here before. with each purchase taking far longer than it seemingly should. My question is this: "What is the cause of their ineptitude at the checkout counter?" I watched a guy with a microwave spend 1/2 hour at the counter. I commented on the situation to an employee near the door on my way out and he said he believed it was a success because there weren't any fights......yet.

It is not ineptitude, it is greed in hiring people to properly staff the store for this, as far as lines moving slowly, it could be the cashiers aren't properly trained and it takes them longer(store's fault) or a customer who starts asking questions after they get to the counter, not aking advantage of the sales people befor getting in line or maybe there card is declined and they are figuring another way to pay. Lots of possibilities, at least there was no fights. I would contact ABC wearhouse and see how they could remedy the situation/

There are no federal programs for first-time buyers and most local programs ended a few years ago. You'll need to find out if your city has any specific programs (some still do). No program helps you around having no credit - but it might help you with some down payment money. You will not be approved by a lender without decent-to-good credit -- unless you can find a private investor willing to loan you the money (unlikely). Good luck to you.
2 :
In order to purchase a house of any kind you would need a down payment as well as a credit score that would allow you to apply for and be approved for a mortgage loan. Before you bother your realtor friend the best thing you might do is apply for a FHA mortgage loan with a FHA lender.. FHA has a program where you might get the down payment from relatives, friends and charities. The down payment could be as low as 3.5%. If the price of the house is as you say then the down payment would be around $2,360.00. If your offer is below the asking price your down payment would be less. The down payment from friends or relatives would have to be a gift. It can not be an under the counter loan. Whom ever give you the money would have to sign a letter indicating that this is a gift and not a loan that you would have to repay. You, in all probability would be required to come up with closing cost of your real estate purchase. This could be around $1500.00 which you would have to show as an asset in your bank account, 401K or some other financial instrument that you would have immediate access to and would have use of these forms. Call a mortgage broker that do FHA mortgage loans. Once approved contact your real estate friend. If you are approved then everything else would fall into place. You and your girlfriend should make an agreement between the two of you as to the division and who would live and pay for the property if things do not work out between the two of you as you plan. It is too late after the yelling and finger pointing start. I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck. "FIGHT ON"
3 :
If you don't have money or credit then what is your question? Even if the property was given to you how would you keep up with expenses? The two of you need to focus on the next two years of getting things right. Steady income that is reported to the IRS, money in the bank, little or no debt, credit score that will allow you to apply for a loan. In two years you could have money for a down payment, be married, have a good credit score and be ready to look for a house to buy. It is better to wait and do the above. You will let this house go but there will be another one that hopefully will be in better condition.

How can I make money as a poor college student in serious debt?
I'm living on my own and my parents aren't paying for school. I live in the Toledo, OH area and was originally from Monroe, MI so jobs around here are hard to find. Even when you can find them, they only pay 7 dollars per hour and they don't give you enough hours (not that I can take them anyway, being a full time student). I did work one of those jobs at one point, and after rent was paid I still didn't have enough to pay my other bills, so it seemed a bit fruitless. Now I'm living off of loans I know I won't be able to pay back, and I don't want to take out too much because I don't want to endanger my cosigner. I'm in a lot of debt because of medical bills and some other things I probably shouldn't have done but seemed like a good idea at the time, like joining a sorority (not drugs or shopping or anything). I need to make money fast to get this stuff taken care of. I don't want to whore myself out, and I've thought about selling drugs, but I'd rather do something a little more rewarding and... legal? My house has no heat and there are roaches in it and the landlord won't do anything about it. My life is shit. Thanks for putting up with my bitching, I don't mean to do it.

Check out this web site: http://www.moneylife.org/ Live at your parents, be frugal and live on a budget, work part time (yes even minimum wage jobs help but high end waitressing like cocktail waitressing can be lucrative), go to a state school, get financial aid, major in something that will pay off.

For reliable information about pharmacy check the website of the AACP - that is the official national organization that coordinates info about all accredited US schools of pharm. In theory, at least, you can get into pharm school from community college, but the competition is tough. You will need excellent grades in all the prerequiste courses. Usually prereqs are a year of bio with lab, a year of general chem with lab, a year of organic chem with lab, and some other courses. There is a big demand for pharmacists so the money for pharmacists is great - they make about $80,000 a year or more. But there are only about 80 colleges of pharm in the USA (out of more than 1500 universities) and many of them are rather small, so there are just not very many spaces for students who want to enter these schools. That's why you need to have top grades and top recommendations, as well as a high score on the difficult PCAT test (similar to SAT but much harder). The courses in pharm school are pretty hard and involve a lot of difficult materials - kind of like very advanced biology and chem. Becoming a pharmacist is a great career, but you need to be dedicated and hardworking and smart to make this dream come true. Good luck.

I'd love to go to a christian school, but I'm afraid I won't get the type of job I want if I don't attend a very well known business school. If I don't attend a christian school, I definately want to be a part of a larger campus ministry. Also, I've heard that Miami University is very preppy, and I'm not sure how well I'd fit in there. Sorry this was so long, I just don't know who to talk to about all of this. If you have any suggestions on where else I should look, please let me know! All of this is really stressing me out.

Ohio State and University of Cincinnati. Stay in state- save your money. You will need to go to grad school anyways and that will add to your total education bill. You live in a state with good schools- use them!

haha I'm in a very similar position as you, I'm an upcoming high school senior, so I actually am not the person to be answering, but you mentioned that you don't know who to talk to. If you have a favorite teacher in your school, or your guidance counselor definitely should be able to help you. Also, do you know any friends who are already in college? Maybe try talking to them too.

Miami should be your first choice, since you want to go into marketing. That school is highly respected in the world of Ohio business, and you'll make some very valuable contacts there. Visit the campus and take their tour. You'll probably like it. OSU and Cincinatti are also good schools, but I don't think they have any special marketing/business reputations. Out of state, the University of Pennsylvania (not Pittsburgh) is the #1 ranked marketing school in the nation. Indiana is also among the best schools. (US News 2008 ranking)

Depends on how you define "good." To be honest, I don't think it's going to be absolutely vital to go to a name-brand school as an undergrad. That having been said, there are a couple schools (prestigious according U.S. News & World Report's rankings) that aren't that much farther away that you could try, most notably Michigan. (I'm using USN&WR simply because it's the one that most people look at, much to my chagrin.) If you're OK with attending your state school's rival, I do know that the business school is pretty respected and that many people get placed into well-known companies, but I assume that's the case for many business schools; business students are usually really driven. Certainly, in-state schools are probably cheaper, but I think that with a background like yours, you'd be eligible for a pretty good financial aid package, which may or may not include scholarships. I'd probably restrict myself to a couple out-of-state schools and a bunch of in-state schools if price is a big factor for your family. Not to say that the in-state schools aren't as good; they may actually provide a better, more individualized learning experience than Penn, Pitt, OSU, Mich, etc. The big-name schools are generally research institutions, so a lot of the faculty is hired with research in mind; teaching may be a secondary concern. That having been said, I personally feel as if you're buying too much into the prestige thing. It helps with connections, true, but getting a job is just as much about advertising yourself as it is your social capital, so I don't feel that going to a smaller school or a Christian school hurts you as much as you seem to think it will. If you want a compromise, you could look at schools like Wheaton College (highly-respected Christian alma mater of Billy Graham) or... Carleton College (A book I read I think said that Carleton has cranked out the most CEOs as of a few years ago, but my memory's fuzzy). Of course, it's going to depend at least partially on your drive to succeed at whatever school and in whatever jobs you end up in. As far as an on-campus fellowships go, even if you go to a Christian school, I think it's definitely worth your time to join a fellowship. I have friends at Wheaton who find their fellowship (Koinonia) a much more intimate expression of their faith than just heading to the school-required stuff. Personally, though a couple conferences run by InterVarsity, I've gotten to know the OSU IV staff and the revived Pitt IV chapter, and they strike me as being very solid. A couple of other friends from my time at Mich really like Campus Crusade and the Navigators (This guy was with Mich's IV during med school and Navigators at UCSD during undergrad), so I'd heartily recommend those if they're on whatever campus up you end up on. If you go on college visits, see if you can schedule a time with a campus staff worker and talk to him/her about the group's beliefs, pros/cons, and atmosphere. Most of the info (or at least a contact page) is available online, so it shouldn't be too hard to do. College is one of the most influential times in your life, and if you want to grow your faith, it's gotta be nurtured well. If I can (try to) help in any other way, feel free to send me a message.
