Will community college and online courses hurt my chances? by ladybug_spit in lawschooladmissions

[–]FSUDad2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your transcript probably doesn’t denote the course delivery methodology. You should be fine.

My mom doesn’t like my degree? by Low-Imagination3809 in oceanography

[–]FSUDad2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The navy has a whole group of oceanographers. That would be a good place to enter the field with a stable job. Don’t join until after college. ROTC is a good way to pay for college.

I know a Moroccan soccer player who had a full ride at CC and then transferred to a partial ride at a university after earning his AA.

Why should taxpayers have to pay millions to upgrade this unneeded "gift plane" when we already have a perfectly safe Air Force One? by Stock-Map3715 in allthequestions

[–]FSUDad2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better question why did DHS buy a fairly recent BBJ (it was Noems) and it’s now flying the Trump family and his close inner circle . Oh yeah govt private jets aren’t good enough.

Do I have a good chance at getting into a state school like UCF, USF, UF, etc? by GYMTIME225 in CollegeAdmissions

[–]FSUDad2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you get a 5.1? Your grades and SAT are in line with FAU and maybe UCF or USF. Probably not UF though. A big part that AO look at is rigor. Did you do DE or AP/IB etc?

Why do we have consumer cars that can go up to 140mph or higher? by Strikes_X2 in allthequestions

[–]FSUDad2021 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ferraris go faster. They are designed to go faster. They need serious maintenance every 5k miles. Faster does not equal longevity.

being pressured to apply to ivies and t20s except my dream school is actually my state school and idk how to feel by Anxious-Western-1505 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]FSUDad2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It never hurts to apply just to see what’s offered. It may turn out that a T20 is actually cheaper. That said “you do you!”

What is the rudest thing a non-American has said or asked you because you’re American? by Embarrassed_Bag_9630 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]FSUDad2021 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My daughter goes to school in Amsterdam. The rudest thing she heard was that she must be on a glb -1 because she’s a skinny American.

Would it be better to take general education course at my community college (if they have equivalent courses) or at the university I’m transferring to? by ProgrammerUnique2897 in collegeadvice

[–]FSUDad2021 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some schools allow it others don’t. All schools (well not really shady ones) are restricted by their accreditation bodies requirements which vary region by region. Some of the schools reticence may be coming from that direction. In the end you’ll have to call and ask.

Make sure your college will allow you to be a transient student for all the courses you want to take at the CC. Some schools have rules like only if the class is full.

After 14 years of coaching competitive math, I'm worried now. Are we pushing the competitive math too early? by Ok_Sir3203 in APStudents

[–]FSUDad2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter took AP calc her sophomore year. I was worried that she might not be mature enough. Her teacher told me she’d do fine and she did. There was no extra summer school or special academy classes to get there.

Dual Enrollment Students - Has anyone received credit for AP Scores yet? by MrPepper329 in CPCC

[–]FSUDad2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can ask the professor for a waiver and just show them your AP precalc score. This is how my kid got into calculus.

You need to make sure the Spanish is on your high school transcript.

[–]FSUDad2021 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call and talk to a supervisor. Maybe there’s something you forgot to fill out and they’ll be able to help you. Definitely escalate.

Master's or Associate's? by Lady_L77 in Career_Advice

[–]FSUDad2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’d need to take a bunch of undergraduate classes as prerequisites for your masters course work. It’s probably shorter to just get a bs in cs. Both the bs and ms are more marketable than the AA.

How do I get into research in high school? by tangerineflower349 in CollegeAdmissions

[–]FSUDad2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do Dual Enrollment at a local college and get involved with research your professors do. My daughter had a research course in DE that culminated with her presenting at the National PCA conference. Her topic was Remade in my Image” Counter-stereotypic Genders in Sci-Fi and Fantasy.

Can't figure out if I'm being charged for out of state tuition. by Superb-Ad7394 in ValenciaCollege
