Duration : 4 min 45 sec
Hey guys, I am a high school junior and am looking at a couple of colleges which I really like I have narrowed it down to.
University of Alabama,Tuscollasa
University of Mississippi,Oxford (Ole Miss)
I like both of those schools equally and cannot decide which I would like to go. I have to figure this out by July because there are finiancial/housing benefits if you apply early in July. And I also need help with my degree.
I have narrowed it down to
-Accounting
-Law
-Finance
If someone could tell me their opionon on the schools and the degrees that would be great, and overall just a coach to help me with this situation.
Thank you so much guys,
Jeff
You need to apply to more than one school — so you don't need to pick one unless you get accepted to both.
In the US, law is a graduate program (you need a BA or BS first) — so you can't major in Law.
As for finance vs accounting — I like to say that Accounting is for people who can't do Finance.
If you really like memorizing rules that don't make sense — but exist because there has to be a rule — then Accounting is for you. If you are good at Math and like things that make sense — then Finance is for you.

I’m looking at UAH as a possibility for college (Junior in HS now) and want to pursue a career in aerospace engineering. Is this a good choice, because I never see it in searches of colleges.
I live in PA, but a family friend went there and is working on nanotechnology for NASA now, so that's how I heard about it. Another reason is that my older brother lives about an hour away, so the location was good. I went to their website (probably biased as heck) and it said graduate students were getting job offers before graduation. It is also near several NASA and military installations.
Looking for something in propulsion, aircraft/spacecraft design, or materials research.
I take several advanced classes (one year ahead in my science classes, honors english since 9th grade, and in Pre-Calc) but don't necessarily get straight A's. Only ever got a C average once last year in math. A's and B's are my average (would help if I studied).
Managed to raise the C in the third nine weeks.
Eh… U Alabama in Tuscaloosa would be a stronger choice. If you did decide to go to Huntsville, check to see how the graduates of their aerospace program do re: finding jobs in their field after graduation.
And no matter where you chose to study, do an internship in the field you hope to enter, and that will *really* help you get a job when you graduate. I can’t stress that enough.
In case you’re looking for additional options, the best engineering colleges in and near Alabama – and you’d need to check to see if they offer aerospace – would include: Embry Riddle – one of the top aerospace programs in the US, actually, along with Georgia Tech – as well as: Baylor, U Texas Austin, Virginia Tech, Texas A&M College Station, Rice, Duke, North Carolina State U Raleigh, U Florida, U Virginia, Vanderbilt, Auburn, Clemson, and U Tennessee.
Of engineering schools in AL, Auburn is the strongest. If you have the academics, then it may be one to put on your list. U Alabama Tuscaloosa is another strong program in AL, and worth looking at.
If you don’t mind travelling, Embry Riddle, in Florida, has more or less the same admissions stats as U Alabama Huntsville – same GPA, around the same SAT scores – so if you think you’d get into Huntsville, you may be able to get into Embry Riddle. And Embry Riddle is one of the top aerospace engineering programs in the US. It’s very well respected. Could be worth a look.

My name is Lola and I'm a junior in high school. I really want to be a french elementary teacher, but I can't seem to find a college. I live in north alabama so any colleges around where I live would be preferred, but if there is none that offer this degree anywhere in alabama will be fine. I just don't want to have to pay out of state tuition 
Any more information on this degree will be helpful also.
Thanx,
Lola
I would double major in French and Elementary education. It would make it easier and then you could go to many colleges.

I want to go to Ole miss in oxford for my pre med and then go to southern Alabama or Jackson MS for to finish up medicine, right now I'm a junior in high school and I'm not quite certain on how things work, what are the certain classes I have to take during my pre-med to get into med school, I'm assuming each college requires something uniquely different but can someone give me the general gist? Also in actual med school, what do you learn, when do you start you residency, and what will you be doing while doing your residency(planning on being a general practitioner)
I'm really mind set on becoming a doctor but I want to understand most of what is going to become of my schedule in later life so if someone could please help I would be greatly appreciative.
Thank you,
Justin.
I live in Alabama, and I'm applying to medical school next year. I just want to let you know, that in Alabama and Mississippi, they hugely favor in state students for medical school. So it would be a lot more difficult for you to get into an Alabama medical school than the one in Mississippi.
You'll start by getting a degree at college (4 years). You'll have to take Biology 1 and 2, Chemistry 1 and 2, Organic Chemistry 1 and 2, Physics 1 and 2, and labs for all of those. Some medical schools require an English and math class, but you'll have to take those for your college degree anyway. Most medical schools say upper level biology classes (microbiology, genitics, biochemistry, cell biology, etc.) are helpful, but not required. Pick a degree in anything. I'm a biology major with a concentration in medical technology (medical technology is my back up in case I don't get in medical school) with a dance minor.
The summer after your junior year you'll take the MCAT which is required by all medical schools. It's like having to take the ACT/SAT for college. The MCAT tests on all of the information you've covered in the classes required for pre-med, so make sure you've taken all of those classes prior to taking the MCAT. You'll also start applying to medical school that summer. Once you do the initial application, schools that like you will send you a secondary application. If they still like you, you'll asked to interview. From there the school will make a decision and let you know.
The first two years of medical school are bookwork in a classroom. The first year is spent getting to know the human body in its natural state. Then you'll have a summer vacation like normal. The second year is learning about diseases and how to cure them. You'll take the USMLE step one at the end of that year. If you pass, you'll move on to clinical work in your third and fourth year. You will no longer have a summer vacation; you'll go straight from your second year (with a short break) into your third year. The third year is spent in a hospital doing basic rotations such as surgery, ob/gyn, pediatrics, internal medicine, psychology, etc. The fourth year you get to choose elective rotations.
During your fourth year, you decide what you want to specialize in (surgery, etc.) and apply for a residency. You'll have a "match day" where you'll find out what hospital you'll be doing your residency in. You'll then take the USMLE step 2.
The residency lasts at least 3 years depending on what you choose (for example, surgery is 7 years). The first year you'll be an intern, the last two you'll be a resident. Each year you'll gain more responsibility. After your first year, you take the USMLE step 3 (last one!). After you finish your residency, you can take the board test to get certified in your state. If you want to do anything specific you can do a fellowship. For example, let's say you want to be a neonatal doctor, or a cardiac surgeon. To be a neonatal doctor, you'd do a residency in pediatrics, then a fellowship in neonatal. For a cardiac surgeon, you'd do your residency in general surgery, then a fellowship in cardio. For a general practitioner, you should just need 3 years of residency. During residency you work with a team of doctors, residents, and interns to learn about your specialty in depth while actually performing medicine.
Hope all of this makes sense. Good luck.
