If you don't feel like reading just answer the question.

I am currently taking a gap year and I have no idea what path I should take. I started pharmacy this year but felt overwhelmed, overworked, unwell and so on, so I decided to take a year off from school and focus on making money and "resting" (not really since i'm working full-time). Now when the application time is approaching I have no idea what to do.

My first choice is veterinary medicine, then dentistry, medicine, maybe pharmacy again and biomedical engineering. I'm thinking that I will apply to and go where I'm accepted to but truthfully that has never worked out for me.

In my country you also go through the application process before highschool so with that mindset(I'll go where I'm accepted to) I applied to 4 hs. Got accepted into all of em. My choice was very random, i regretted it at some times but overall i wouldnt have chosen differently if i could go back. Earlier this year I applied to 3 unis and again I got accepted into all of them - here I think it was because I aimed for schools within my reach + one "dream school".

Anywayy I feel like this won't happen this time around because of the year long break. I'm also working full time so I don't have enough time to dedicate to studying but maybe I'll quit to focus on that but idk ... In any case, if I get accepted into all of them, how do I choose??

I also don't know if I'm applying to these programs because I'm interested in them or because I want the recognition/ I want people to think that the gap year was for a good reason.

Just a side note (for those who will recommend i talk to a therapist); I AM going to therapy but honestly the therapist sucks and I cant find it within myself to be completely transparent with her. I also have sessions with her like once a month/two months sooo I think that also might not be the best but it is what it is. During the first session she recommended weekly sessions and booked my next appointment in well over a month. I do feel like the weekly sessions would be ideal but she's overbooked and now that i'm working i cant just take a day off to see her even if it is only once a month. If you have any recommendations regarding that pls do tell.

I work at a tech company that makes apps for high school and university students around the world. We regularly speak to students who use our app to learn about how they study, prepare for exams and use our app. While the feedback is great, we'd love to talk to students who don't use our app and find out how they study and what challenges they have. These interviews are always paid too.

I've been trying to find some places to post this directly on school sites or discussion boards but not sure where to start. Does anyone have any suggestions? We're looking for students in the US, Canada, UK, Netherlands and Germany mostly for now.

Got a foundation biology exam on the 15th of jan. I know i’m going to fail it because i’ve been struggling with the course and i am not a smart person. The issue is i’ve already put a deposit down for my housing next year, and the contract states if you pull out you will still be charged the years 10 grand rent. If i fail this exam i will have to resit, if i fail that im out of university.

Not only do i feel like a complete failure, ive been reduced to a financial burden on my already struggling family. I’m so fucked and im beyond miserable. No matter how much i try i always feel like a let down.

Hi everyone!

My name is Kateryna, I am a senior student at Ukrainian Catholic University. Currently I am working on my dissertation about early detection of women’s health conditions, like endometriosis and fibroids.

Despite their significant impact on women's health and many reported signs that could help identify these conditions early, tools for early detection are still underdeveloped!

In my dissertation research I aim to shed light on this issue and potentially help other women by improving early detection and raising awareness. I would really appreciate your help!!

If you experience menstruation and/or have been diagnosed with endometriosis or fibroids, I invite you to participate!

Here is the link -> https://forms.gle/doCnWDDcGD115S2V8

It should take around 10 minutes!

Thank you very much, your input is really appreciated!

Hi, I'm interested in astrophysics but also stuff to do with robotics, like the rovers and satellites, but courses I see seem to only be these two separately. I thought I'd go with astrophysics because this is what interests me the most but jobs I see for it tend to be around banking, data management, or just research institutes and that's not really what I wanna do. Does anyone have any suggestions of uni courses that would combine these two? Thanks 🙏🙏

I've been sitting on the fence about applications for undergraduate to US unis for the longest time; I have 9A*s in gcses/o levels, 3A's in AS so far (a levels not complete yet), 1470 in SAT, been president of my school maths club for a year, a managerial position in an NGO i'm a part of, 2-time iklc gold medal winner..I feel like I qualify for acceptances into some unis but my financial situation is really bad; I would litr need 100% scholarship/financial aid, basically free tuition and even costs of accommodation preferably covered.. pls help me is there any chance of me qualifying for that in any US/Canadian/Scandinivian uni? If there are any specific ones that might offer, let me know abt them!

Hi, I’m thai and I’m looking for a full (or 70%+ scholarship). My SAT is 1450 and I used to be a student council and participated in many social activities. Right now I’m taking GED since I quit school about a month ago. Any recommendations on how I could get a scholarship? 🥹

Hello everyone, I'm trying to build a social media platform for students. It will include all universities and high schools around the world. If you are interested, please contact me. You can also check the project at profile. I'm looking for people that could help me promote it.

hey guys i'm planning to study in social sciences and i got 30 in ib and 1140 in sat. unfortunately i don't have enough money for uk or netherlands since i'm a non-eu student so do u have any reccomendation for me?

Hi! I need to write my senior thesis for graduation. I conducted qualitative research and interviewed 11 participants, and I have transcribed the data. However, I’m not sure how to conduct a qualitative analysis. Specifically, I would like to learn how to create a table or figure for thematic analysis where I can generate codes.

I am currently completing the IB Courses (not the complete diploma ) which includes an Extended Essay, 3 HL subjects, and 3 SL subjects. I also have an SAT score of 1130. I am interested in Australian universities and have heard that Australian universities do not allow direct entry for students with IB courses.

I plan to pursue a bachelor’s degree in psychology starting next year and would prefer universities in Melbourne. Are there any good options where I can gain direct entry with my SAT score and IB courses?

Has anyone faced a similar issue and successfully managed to secure direct entry into Australian universities? Any advice to get direct entry would be appreciated.

I am a freshman in college and just finished up my first semester. I am not really content with my life at the school I am at and am seriously considering transferring. Most of my problems relate to my social life but I don't know if that is a good enough reason to transfer. I really just feel isolated from my peers and don't feel as if I fit in. I've met an indefinable amount of people and feel as if I have no real friends to show for it. The people I am surrounded by seem to navigate through the world differently than I do and I simply don't know how to adapt. Overall, this situation has led me to feel like I am alone and isolated. Is this a situation where I should just wait it out, try to find my people and move on or should I transfer (what my heart is telling me). I do want to say that I have no real problems with the school academically however the social aspect is something that eats at me everyday and is one worth more than the other?

Right now, I'm a very stressed and confused undergraduate student of Microbiology. Please guide me towards the right Master's Program based on my interests. I would be super grateful if the suggestions can come from professions in the field. If you have the time and patience to read this long post and offer some advise, I will be really thankful.

There are too many Master's Program offered by different universities which all seem to intersect at some point like:

• Cell and Molecular Biology

-Molecular Life Sciences -Molecular Medicine -Molecular Biosciences -Molecular Biotechnology -Molecular Biology and Evolution -Biochemistry and Molecular Biology -Molecular Cell Biology -Marine Microbiology -Microbiology -Evolution, Ecology and Systematics -Ecology, Environment and Conservation -Ecology -Ecology, Evolution and Environment

Please help me pick one of these based on my interests:

1. Molecular Biology:

From the moment I first read about central dogma in high school, I was fascinated. Studying gene expression on a deeper level in my undergraduate, I knew this was what I wanted to do. My interest ranges from Proteomics to Epigenetics. But if I have to pick one and be specific, I want to study the molecular mechanisms of cancer and apply it to cancer biology research to develop immunotherapies for cancer, especially like CAR T cell therapy for leukemia. My interest in leukemia is very personal as I lost my mother to Acute Leukemia. But I'm also aware that things don't go as smoothly as in your head and it's not a linear or path as I'm thinking right now. Research is much more nuanced and full of complexities. Me having this roadmap doesn't mean anything and it's never as simple as I'm making it sounds, I understand.

2. Cell Biology:

I had studied about organelles in school before but my first exposure to "real" cell biology was in my undergraduate where the mechanisms of Apoptosis and Cell Signalling were revealed to me. I was so intrigued, still am. With Cell Biology too, I want to understand the cellular mechanisms of cancer ranging from p53 gene and apoptosis to signalling in cancer cells and tumour cell plasticity. Basically, I want to study about proto-oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes (like the p53 gene, i love that gene so much) and how we can leverage p53 gene to develop cancer therapies. And is there any relevance in industry?

(NOTE: I understand my interests may sound childish and very surface-level with no real-life practicality or feasibility. And cancer research is extremely complex and dynamic. But it is only based on the level of studying I've done in my undergraduate, which is not an advanced course. This is also majorly why I want to choose a good master's program so I have the ability to choose a good research topic for myself in PhD.)

3. Environmental Sciences/ Environmental Microbiology:

This interest may purely be driven by emotions and my strong sense of justice but I want to contribute to the environment, give back to my Earth. But I genuinely have no idea how environment biology works on an advanced level.

I'm interested in working on Sustainable Energy and Bioremediation. But I have not studied environmental sciences in detail on an advanced level ever (not even as much as I've studied Molecular or Cell Biology). So, I'm lost on that. It's a risky field for me to dive into because I don't know the "scope" of it.

I would love to be guided on how feasible a career in environmental sciences is, and if I ever want to switch over to industry, if there is demand. I ask this because I'm not from an affluent background and I need to support myself and my parent. As much as I want to entirely devote my life to research, I also need a safety net in terms of finances.

4. Microbiology:

Given my background in microbiology, I do love microbiology but I have horrible contamination OCD so I want to stay far away from infection biology or clinical microbiology. I mention this because I interned at a Virology Lab with a clinical focus and I realised, I can't survive doing wet lab research in clinical microbiology because of my anxiety.

Although, it hurts me to part ways with my lovely microbes, I find that I'm just not interested in the clinical aspect of microbiology. I'm more interested in the ACTUAL study of microbes, like studying the metabolism of extremophiles like deep-sea microbes, the human microbiome, probiotics. Is what I want to study still profitable in the industry?

5. Immunology:

Again, my interest in immunology lies only to develop immunotherapies for cancer, like Monoclonal Antibodies, Interferons, CAR T Cell therapy.

That's all I can think of right now. As you can see, I have emphasized on my interest in Cancer Biology multiple times. My interest and desire to work on cancer probably comes from an emotionally-driven thought process and I should try to work on separating my thoughts from my emotions, I understand. It may also come off childish, I'm aware.

From each point, I would HIGHLY APPRECIATE if someone working in the same field can tell me how valid my thought process is, how feasible it is, and if it has any relevance in the industry. I ask for industrial relevance because of my need to support myself and not having a financial backup. I hope you all guide me to the right step. Thank you for reading.

How important are A Level grades for an Uni admission in Europe or Australia?
I got less than average grades in A level.

I’ve been on a quest, developing more interactive assignments and a question came up in a discussion with colleagues - how interactive are assignments at other online schools, especially really huge ones like SNHU. It seems like it takes a lot of heart and commitment to bring rich multimedia courses to life, so how that would scale is not clear. Any experiences you’d like to share as a learner or instructor?

I’m a stranger (brazilian) and i’ve a 74% of chance of getting into this university according to an estimate of what is required and simulations, and I wanted to know if this is a good option, I don't know the course yet, I wanted recommendations

And no, I'm not Catholic

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well!

I write this post here because I'm totally desperate. I'm a French student at the University of Bordeaux Montaigne, and I have a UX project on the website "Conservatoire de l'Air et de l'Espace." It's a French conservatory that restores, preserves, and shares information about aviation, with a strong focus on aviation history. I need to collect as many answers as possible from aviation enthusiasts, people who work in the military, etc.
For now, I don't have many answers, which is why I'm here. International answers are so needed in this project, so that's why!
If you wish to help me, you can answer my quick survey, which can be completed in 5 minutes!
Thank you again for your support and your help!!

I am trying to transfer from community college and I want to know if UOR is worth it? I'm a bio major trying to do Pre-Med but the only issue I have are the costs. Obviously Medical school is so much more expensive so I don't want to pay too much for my undergrad. But, at the same time, I still want to go to a good university. UOR is like my top school to transfer to but I just want to know how good is are they about money? I have a 3.4 GPA right now because I messed up last semester, but my grades are pretty good standing with being on Phi Theta Kappa and the Dean's list two consecutive years. I still have one semster left and I think if I stay in good standing I should end up with at least a 3.5. I also graduated highschool with a 3.8 GPA, JROTC cadet, and an advanced diploma. Any thoughts to help me out?

I'm a first year student at the university. I have no idea what to do. Can someone help me?

For some background info, I am currently in my 6th year of a bachelors degree (I did 4 years at a previous college and transferred to another so it’s taken a little longer) I have really bad ADHD and haven’t been able to manage that properly yet, I’ve been concussed, dealt with depression, on going anxiety that’s all affected my grades and have failed a few classes and I feel very overwhelmed. I get into almost a state of paralysis where I have trouble functioning properly and that affects my school life TREMENDOUSLY. I’ve been in a degree that I liked but haven’t had an end goal because I didn’t know what I wanted to do with it but I recently discovered a different path I want to take and I want to change my degree, which means changing schools (again). It will most likely be another 4 years to complete that one and I wouldn’t graduate until I’m 27/28. I feel like I’m so behind in life and it’s a bit overwhelming because I feel like (for lack of a better term) a loser for taking this long to get one degree.

I don’t know what I’m expecting by posting this but I wanted to put that out there in case someone else is feeling the same way to know they’re not alone (even if I feel like that right now)

Hi everyone I finished my alevels two months ago...my results are not out yet but I wanted to make an early research...does anyone has any information about the application dead line in Italian universities? Like when does the application starts and when does it end Pls if you have any idea feel free to drop it down...appreciated!

I’m struggling with Harvard referencing and I just don’t get how it’s done properly 😔. My course doesn’t do assignments as much so I was able to get away with it in 1st year. But now I’m in second year and I just don’t want this to reduce my grade. And also how does critical thinking work recently realised that most of my work is descriptive. Can someone help me pls !!!

I wanted to ask if it was possible to get into an ivy league when I have a bad grade (sophomore year) in a technology class when I want to major in Philosophy?

I have done prior exams (as a preparation) but realized i'm not fully ready and also had an idea of doing many of the straightforward subject in the normal session of the exams then prepare for the "rattrapage in french" or the second session of exams of the same semester that takes place after a month after the normal session , and it is usually for those who had some sort of problem in the normal session or had a bad grade in that session , people say it is harder than the normal session but usually it depends on the teacher.

Should I proceed with the idea ? I thought of it as it made some sort of sense if I was looking for very good grades.

Had a final presentation today, while presenting, the professor did not look at me at all, which I ignored, after a few minutes, he pulled out bread and some spread and started preparing a sandwich….in the middle of me talking and presenting. The smell irritated the second professor next to him so he started waving a book around. When I froze after seeing him making the sandwich, he looked at me and said “What? I am listening”. What do I even do?
