Is it rude to call the admissions office at a college and ask specific questions? What about leave a message?

I can’t seem to get ahold of the college that I have questions about, so do you think it would be rude to leave a message saying something like “Hi my name is Ashley, I’m currently in high school and I have a few questions about your school if you can please call me back at (555)555-5555 that would be great thanks.” …. What do you think?

Do medical schools care about your college course load each semester?

Do medical schools care about your college course load each semester or do they only care that you’ve completed the pre-medical prerequisites? What I want to know is would someone who took a full load of difficult classes each semester/term be chosen over someone who just completed the minimum prerequisites and spaced them out?

I’m about to get my AA degree in Arts from my community college in the fall and I will be transferring to a university in the spring. I’m hoping to graduate with a 3.5 cumulative GPA or higher. Do you know if I can apply to be in an honors program at a university? Or do you have to be in honors from the beginning? Thanks!

I might be transferring to a different college in the fall of 2008. I would have to leave my job if i went to a different college because it is in a different state . As of right now the department that I work in is short handed. Can my boss hold me back from leaving the department that I work in if they don’t hire anybody else by the time I would have to leave for college?
Can I call human resources about this?

I’m currently writing my essays for college applications, and I noticed that for most of them they allow you to “Create Your Own” question to answer. This pretty much gives you the opportunity to write about anything you like, but what are some suggestions for good topics to write about?

How Do You Feel About Taking A Year Off College?

About College



I know its sort of like tradition for everyone to go straight to college right after high school. But do you think its really that bad to take a year off?

I just graduated from high school and I plan to major in music. I’ve talked to my family about it, and they all think I should have some back-up plan in case the “music” thing doesn’t work out. They want me to get at least an associate in business or something. I understand where they’re coming from, but it’s not for me.

I’ve tried applying for business administration. But while reading the course descriptions, I was turned off. Dealing with profit analysis, accounting, macroeconomics, etc… Even if its a back-up, I don’t want to waste my money on something I don’t want to do.

I know they say that once you take a year off college, you don’t really want to go back. But I do. In order to pursue my career in music, I have to go back to school. I just want to take a year off to recollect myself and get everything together.

Thoughts?
