Applying for University of Washington - Seattle.?
I am currently a senior in high school. I'm graduating a year early. I'm not incredibly confident that I'll get accepted at my dream school. Recent lack of optimism for various reasons is to blame for that. And I've heard it's pretty tough to get in. Also, my mother has said that she may not even let me go there since I would have just turned 17 when I left for college. However, I'm applying anyway. It's worth a shot in my opinion. If I don't get in... well, at least I tried. My question is... What exactly should I write about in the writing section of the application? I have to write a Personal Statement... 1. Discuss how your family's experience or cultural history enriched you or presented you with opportunities or challenges in pursuing your educational goals. - OR - 2. Tell us a story from your life, describing an experience that either demonstrates your character or helped to shape it. And a Short Response... 1. The University of Washington seeks to create a community of students richly diverse in cultural backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints. How would you contribute to this community? - OR - 2. Describe an experience of cultural difference, positive or negative, you have had or observed. What did you learn from it? The word "culture" is used a lot. I'm not exactly the most cultural person. I'm an over-sheltered, middle class white kid from Memphis, Tennessee. That doesn't exactly scream culture. Unless I can write about my psycho parents, gang activity in my neighborhood, or the hundreds of people from around the world I have met during the many hours I've spent on the internet because of that previously mentioned over-sheltered thing. My GPA is pretty great, I think. I can't remember what it is at the moment. I don't really feel like remembering because it's 10AM, I feel terrible, and I haven't slept in too many hours. And, hopefully, I did okay on the ACT. I just took it this last Saturday so I haven't gotten my scores yet. I'll be taking it again though. (And studying a lot harder for it.) I only know I did terrible on the Writing part. Thirty minutes is NOT enough time for me to write more than maybe 10-20 sentences on some silly topic that I really don't have much of an opinion on. Everything else I did great or will do great on. I have typed way too much. Sooo... yeah. Anyway... My worries: writing section of application, whether or not my lack of activities/achievements/skills will seriously hurt me, and if the writing section of the ACT is super important if everything else is great and I write an awesome essay for my application.

Well first of all, don't be disheartened. With a good GPA, a good personal statement and strong references, you have just as good a chance as anyone of else of being accepted. Try and stay confident, as confidence will show through in your writing, and also help to boost your spirits. Also, if you do get accepted, and your Mom is against it, then explain to her all the reasons as to why you are mature and sensible enough to go, and how beneficial it would be to you. Okay, so to answer your questions... If you choose: "Discuss how your family's experience or cultural history enriched you or presented you with opportunities or challenges in pursuing your educational goals." then you will need to find some kind of cultural niche to talk about. Maybe you could research your family heritage. There may be a relative from another country and you can describe the impact of discovering this in your answer. Or, you can talk about your own culture, and your own family background, and how living in a secure and loving family has shaped you and given you the support to go out into the world alone and try and be successful. If you choose: "Tell us a story from your life, describing an experience that either demonstrates your character or helped to shape it." then you will need to think of one particular event in your life which has been significant. Perhaps one where you overcame adversity, despite being faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. You could even use the experience of trying to go to college, against the odds. For the second part... If you choose: "The University of Washington seeks to create a community of students richly diverse in cultural backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints. How would you contribute to this community?" then you can talk about how much you enjoy learning about new cultures, and you find that being around people from other backgrounds is an enriching experience. You can also talk about how you feel you have your own experiences to add into the mix, and share with those students. If you choose: "Describe an experience of cultural difference, positive or negative, you have had or observed. What did you learn from it?" then again you will have to describe one specific event. Perhaps travelling abroad on vacation, or the arrival of a transfer student at your school would be something to write about. So, just stay calm and don't worry about it too much. And make sure that you get enough sleep, as that will help you feel better overall. To address your worries...you can retake the ACT, the writing section of the application you will do fine on if you follow the points that I gave you, and you need to be more confident in your skills, and try to focus on the positives, and not the negatives. Colleges do look for some extra-curricular activities though, so it would help if you had at least one or two (or even things like self taught musical instruments, or language skills, any sorts of club, even an online blog). Anyway, best of luck!

In Michigan, it is against the law for a lady to lift her skirt more than 6 inches while walking through a mud puddle. In North Carolina, it is against the law for a rabbit to race down the street. In Georgia, it's against the law to spread a false rumor. In West Virginia, one can't cook sauerkraut or cabbage due to the odors and the offence is subject to imprisonment. In Missouri, a man must have a permit to shave. The law states that more than 3000 sheep cannot be herded down Hollywood Blvd. at any one time. In Texas, it is still a "hanging offense" to steal cattle.

can someone help me edit my college essay???!!!?
can someone help me edit my college essay???!!!?
ive written my college essay and i need somone's opinion on how it looks??? Growing up as a child I feel as if I have the great aspects of becoming a student in your college because; im intelligent a go getter, and I always accomplish what needs to be done. I grew up in Salt Lake City Utah, I moved their when I was two and stayed their for over 9 years, I traveled to over 36 states and NO! I wasn’t an army brat. This is how it all started off as I remember; when one night I woke up with this feeling that I just entered the world of reality I still to this day don’t know if I was dreaming or having a hallucination of some kind. It felt as if my whole child hood flashed before my eyes starting from when I was a baby to like 5 years old. It was a shock for me but that moment then I knew that I had a purpose in life. To be all that I can be because theirs only one life and you should cherish each and everyday of it. I remember as a child I always had friends older than I was… I was always an A student I use to stand up for other kids all the time because I felt it was the right thing to do, but one day I was 5years old and I was riding the bus home from school this girl ; looked as she was a giant over me. Pushed my friend on the floor of the bus, and took her seat I was so angry that I stood up and told her to get up. The girl stood up towering over me as if I was a midget of some kind, I looked up and said you herd me “even though I was terrified insideâ€. The girl looked at me and took her finger and slid it across her THROAT as if she was cutting something and yelled out, “your dead meatâ€; after that day I rode the bus hoping that I wouldn’t see her I was scared for my life I dint really stand up for anymore kids after that lol I had my own life to protect. As I was a child I had many hobbies playing basketball, kickball, soccer, football, softball, hardball, and volleyball. You might as well be able to say I was a typical tomboy I didn’t like to wear dresses or skirts even though I hated those girly type clothes my mother still made me wear them everyday. I played all types of sports in dresses, and skirts, but aye I didn’t care I just wanted to have fun. One day I was about in the 3rd grade, I went out for recess and everyone decided to get together and play kickball. It was girls against boys I was wearing a dark blue jean dress and some black slide in sandals. This was the first official day that I started playing sports; the girls were behind by 2 points and it was my turn to come up to the plate I pulled my foot back and kicked and missed the ball, I was so upset but then the other girls on my team encouraged me to keep trying. So I watched the ball as it bounced towards me and I kicked the ball my sandal flew in the air, and the red ball flew all the way over to 6th graders playground. It was almost half of the field I was so shocked looking at the ball that I had forgot to run until all the girls were yelling at me. I then ran to 1st, 2nd, then 3rd base and made an HOMERUN!!! I was so excited and happy after that day I decided to play all types of sports because I saw how much fun it could be. Also I use to play the violin in our school orchestra I enjoyed playing that instrument, but I had to quite when we moved to Memphis Tennessee. I was upset when we moved their because it took a large toll on me I had to adapt to an environment that I wasn’t use to. As I entered middle school my mother felt as if I should re-enter band and learn how to play other instruments, that’s when I learned to plat the clarinet, piano, flute now I know how to play multiple instruments. I draw the smallest picture like a sticker or something and can draw a large portrait of it. I wrote stories and poems since I’ve been in the 3rd grade from horror to science fiction, funny to just plain old boring. In conclusion, I believe that an education is one of the most important things to have; but I don’t believe that it should measure a person’s intelligence. As in my child hood I know that I’ve accomplished and done many things of which other students haven’t, but im okay with that im glad of the person I have become today.

first, be more forceful in your opening, "I have exelent qualities that will serve me well at your college." or something similar. It's hard to correct spelling through yahoo answers, you should have someone look it over or look it over yourself carefully for your spelling mistakes like their instead of there in the second paragraph, spell check won't catch that. The subject matter is good but there are many gramatical and spelling and sentence structure issues. I recomend you have an English teacher look this over.

I agree with Mr Fuzzykins. Your opening is very weak. It is also full of grammar, spelling and punctuation errors. It is impossible to edit it on this forum. It is something that requires a red pen to circle the errors. Talk with your English teacher. It is very important to build a good foundation of knowledge about the English language. Everything you do in the future requires it. Best of luck.

What can I do to make this paragraph better and/or smaller?
What can I do to make this paragraph better and/or smaller?
On this history trip, you will see many important sights that were in the history of the Civil Rights Movement. You will get to see the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site which commemorates the landmark Supreme Court decision aimed at ending segregation in public schools, Little Rock Central High School, which is the school where federal troops had to escort nine children who were refused admittance because the school was an all-white school, and much more! You will also be taken from Selma, Alabama to Montgomery, Alabama, which is where the Selma to Montgomery Peace March occurred. It is important for you to see these sights because they all played a huge part in the Civil Rights Movement. From Greensboro, North Carolina, we will go to Washington D.C, which is where Martin Luther King Jr. made his famous “I Have A Dream†speech. Then from Washington D.C, we will head to Detroit, Michigan, which is where blacks rioted in response to social, economic, and political equality. From Detroit, we will go to Chicago, which is a very important city to go to since it is where Cicero locals assaulted Martin Luther King Jr. and other participants at the peace rally to address northern poverty and segregated housing. From Chicago, we will go to Topeka, Kansas, then to Little Rock, Arkansas, and then to Oxford, Mississippi. In Oxford, Mississippi, James Meredith was the first black person to integrate at University of Mississippi, and due to this integration, violent protest followed. From Oxford, Mississippi, we will go to Selma, Alabama, and from Selma we will go to Montgomery, Alabama. From Montgomery, we will go to Birmingham, Alabama, which is where George Wallace, who was the governor of Alabama in 1963, personally blocked students from integrating the University of Alabama by standing in its doorway. Finally, from Birmingham, we will end our trip in Memphis, Tennessee, which is where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. Due to Martin Luther King’s assassination, riots of protests broke out in over 100 cities. I chose to visit these historic cities in this order because it was geographically easier and was chronological in the sense of the Martin Luther King era. By seeing all of these historic sites and visiting these important cities, you will learn about the Civil Rights Movement in a way that you never have before. Hopefully you can visit me of this great journey of history! My teacher says that I am supposed to write a "short paragraph", is a paragraphwith 413 words "short"? If not, how can I make it shorter but still keep the point? Also, are there any revisions I can make? Is there anything that I could say to make this better? Please help me! I will gladly appreciate it!!!

I will not re-write your essay for you, but I will try and guide you. Try to replace long word strings with shorter vocab. For example: "On this history trip, you will see many important sights that were in the history of the Civil Rights Movement." Could be simply stated as "On this trip were many exhibits from the Civil Rights Movement." You make a very extensive listing of various sights, which can be shortened- cut out a few, and combined a few into a single sentence. And more importantly, rather than a long list, teachers prefer when you provide personal insight. Good Luck!

Dont listen to those other answers (SCAMS). Grocery stores are good places to look. They are usually looking for workers.

this is a good test for you. do your own research.

First see an academic advisor at the university you want to attend, ask them about course requirements and if U of Tennesee has those courses. Obtain your undergraduate degree first, which will require some amount of liberal or general education studies in fields outside of the sciences, if that's what you choose as a major. During this time it will be easier for you to make up your mind as to what degree is best.

Many colleges in TN have prepharmacy classes. The general requirements are 1 year of bio, 1 year of chemistry, 1 year of organic chemistry, 1 year of physics, 1 years of english, and 1 semester of public speaking. However, the requirements vary from one pharmacy school to another. If you are serious about pharmacy school, please visit http://www.pre-pharm.info

what is wrong with my paper?!!!!!?
what is wrong with my paper?!!!!!?
my teacher marked all through it! idk what is so bad about it? My name is I was born in Memphis, Tennessee on October 15th, 1993. I moved to Nashville when i was a child and haven't left since then . My current location is not too far from Nashville State. I have not yet graduated from high school. I am still attending high school at Middle College High School where I am a junior and will graduate in 2010. My high school is located in Nashville State Community College. I was born in America so, naturally I speak fluently in English but, I also have completed Spanish two on the high school level which means I can speak a little Spanish. I am currently unemployed due to my busy school schedule. At Nashville State I plan on studying anthropology. I am not sure as to what I am going to do with my degree considering the minute jobs choices in this field. The skills I need to have a successful college and high school career would be to have the ability to read by the masses opposed to small increments of books like I have been. For specific class of composition 1, I plan to leave with the ability to organize papers grammatically, coherently, and logically. You are “answering questions†below here, not developing an essay. As far as my personal and social life, I do not tweet, I try to avoid texting, and try to avoid social networks because is, to be bluntly stated, a wasted of moments, time, and energy. I play guitar, piano, and synthesizers in my spare time. Instead of participating social networking, i revolve my life around music. I have two albums on my computer that I wrote consisting of over forty songs. My favorite and most influential bands are Radiohead, Animal Collective, Led Zeppelin, King Crimson, MGMT, and any early Psychedelic music.

What was the title of your assignment? It does sound rather more like a list than an essay, but we could advise more with more information. And maybe you could post in the Education section, as your question is currently in Drawing & Illustration (all about art). I think you could work up a wonderful essay from your last paragraph, as you are obviously passionate about music.

It sounds too much like something a third grader would write. "I did this. I did that." You need to be using longer sentences and a more adult sentence structure. For example: "My name is John Doe, and I was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on October 15, 1993. When I was a child, my family moved to Nashville, and we now live not too far from Nashville State. I attend Middle College High School at Nashville State Community College where I am a junior. After completing Spanish Two, I can speak a little Spanish, but my first language is English. Due to my busy school schedule, I do not currently work. After I graduate in 2012, I plan to study anthropology at Nashville State. Due to limited jobs in this field, I am not sure what I will do with my degree."
