what are you planning on studying?

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #2 on:** October 30, 2007, 02:11:31 PM »

Fuck the ACT. I didn't study and still passed it.

BTW if you're thinking of coming to Michigan for school, you only need to take the ACT; the SAT isn't required for any of the big schools in the state.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #3 on:** October 30, 2007, 02:13:40 PM »

You better study well. UT at Austin is a pretty good school. Standards for state schools are often higher even for out-of-state Americans so they're likely even higher for foreigners. But why would you want to go a state school? The tuition for UT is probably the same as a private school since you're a foreigner.

Arvie is not a distinguished black fellow. He has to do more than just pass.

Philosophy ... :'(

I doubt I will make Michigan so I might not even try. I really want Austin. Also I need to do well on the ACT to make up for my atrocious GPA.

Try Eastern Michigan lol. You'll get in no doubt

Concetrate on the verbal. Schools tend to care a bit more about the Verbal section unless you're applying to something like Engineering. And even the top engineering programs have very high verbal requirements. Memorizing Princeton Review's Word Smart would help a lot.

Princeton's study guides suck. get Barron's book. Or the Collegeboard's book. essentially you just have to take a bunch of practice tests so you know how to get in the groove of taking an SAT/ACT.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #25 on:** October 30, 2007, 03:01:53 PM »

yeah, business is pretty bullshit. I'd suggest a double major (2 similar majors that share like 60% of the credits) in something you like and get experience in a field you like. And adjust your stomach to ramen, not coffee.

Don't be intimidated by people telling you Philo is a useless major. You can easily go to Business or Law school with a Philo degreee. It's not really necessary to do Business in undergrad if you want to get a MBA.

I don't want to go into Business or law though, just philosophy for the sake of philosophy - which I agree is quite useless.

Though if after 4 years I don't want to continue with philosophy I could do law. Thats something to think about, thanks.

That's my point. Philosophy doesn't have to be a dead-end. There're even some med students that were Philosophy majors. They just had to do the 2 yrs of pre-med requirements.

I'm saying the tests/lessons in that book suck for preparing him for the SAT. Barron's tests are a lot harder and therefore better.

He shouldn't get a masters in philosophy but he should know that he may have to take a few classes. He should take philosophy classes for G.E. credits if he wants to go to them.
