My high school gpa is a 4.0, I have been offered a football scholarship by lsu, michigan, and usc. I want to go to a school that will allow me to get a good biology program and an opportunity to play football at a good school to get a chance to play in the nfl?Ranto I need your advice what college is best for me?
go to lsuRanto I need your advice what college is best for me?
Michigan and USC both have highly ranked academic programs and are similar in quality. If you are interested in getting a great education, then either of those schools is superior to LSU.
I don't follow football -- but know enough to realize that all three schools have highly regarded football programs. I would only choose LSU if you believe that it gives you a much better chance to play in the NFL. You would have to talk with people who know these programs and your skills to get a better answer.
For me the deciding factor would be that if you went to USC or LSU you would have to wear maroon and purple (which are bad colors for me) while at Michigan, you would get to wear blue. No matter which of these schools you choose -- you should change your screen name.

I am permanent disability, is there a site where I can get advice on losing weight free of charge?
I weighed 510 lbs earlier this year and now weigh 350 lbs but i have hit a plateau and need a boost, any suggestions?I am permanent disability, is there a site where I can get advice on losing weight free of charge?
Hi Crystal. First let me congratulate you on your weight loss success. If you are unable to seek professional advise through a Registered Dietitian (right now most insurance and medicaid will pay for three visits if you have diabetes or kidney failure), a good website to seek is WebMD. Their nutrition section is overseen by Registered Dietitians. My only caution to you when seeking free advise elsewhere is to know where the information is coming from and if it based on scientific research. Whenever possible, seek advise from a Registered Dietitian; they have extensive science based education and have been tested on there ability to give nutrition based advise. So many people, including physicians and ';nutritionists'; who are not registered through the American Dietetics Association (their website may also be a good reference and can help you locate a Registered Dietitian; www.eatright.org) are distributing information that may be misleading. Other website I would recommend are nutrition.gov and mypyramid.gov. I hope this helps and good luck to you!I am permanent disability, is there a site where I can get advice on losing weight free of charge?

What is your best advice for keeping safe whilst driving in the winter?
make sure you have a rear wheel drive car with an lsd, alot of people prefer front in the winter but if it understeers there is nothing you can do unless you use the handbrake which can unstabilise the car sending you into a four wheel drift. with rear wheel drive the steering wheels only need to steer and not do both. dont use too much throttle and change gear early if in the event of understeer increase the throttle slightly until the rear wheels just start to spin this will balance out the car and gain grip on the front if you have an lsd. dont use the brakes unless you have too try to use the gears to slow you down. take the ABS fuse out as it is impossible t stop with it on ice, they have it set so it doesn work under 10mph anyway but even at 30 you will slow down much faster if you lock the wheels up and snow builds up under them acting as a chock it just wont happen with ABSWhat is your best advice for keeping safe whilst driving in the winter?
1. Check the pressure and tred of tyres.
2. Safety check of your car, I am not good at this so I get is services twice a year - once as winter starts.
3. Have a plan for if you do break down. (Charged mobile, rescue cover, blanket in the car to keep warm etc epecially if going out without a coat).
4. Do not drive out in dangerous conditions.
5. If conditions are bad and you are driving keep to the main roads if it is icy snowing.
6. If weather making driving more dangerous to drive slower than normal, safer, and minimum distance between cars 4 second instead of 2.
7. If its slightly dark/over cast or heavy rain put on your lights.
8. Demist your window if driving so you can see.
9. Clear frost etc from windows in the morning before driving so you can see out all windows and mirrors, otherwise you get down the road and can't see to turn!
10. Keep ice scraper etc in car to clear windows.What is your best advice for keeping safe whilst driving in the winter?
good tyres, correct inflation of tyres, good wyper blades and plenty of screen wash,and keep the SPEED DOWN and think well in advance, and up here in Scotland a BLOODY good car interior heater.

Are there any Ivy league graduates out there that can give me advice?
I'm a sophmore in high school, i'm in all the honors classes i can take right now, i got all A's my freshman year, i'm getting all A's this year (except for honors chem in which i have a B), i'm in CSF, i'm in a variety of extracurriculars but i focus on what i like, i'm doing tons of community service hours, but i know that once i apply to Harvard, i'll be in a pool of thousands of other people with the same kind of qualifications as me. what can i do to make myself stand out from the others? This has been a lifelong dream of mine and i'll do whatever it takes to get there.Are there any Ivy league graduates out there that can give me advice?
You are doing all the things that highly motivated students do, but you're not setting yourself apart from the herd. Look deep inside yourself and ask yourself what you're truly interested in--not what you think the colleges want you to do/be. Then throw yourself into your interest. Find a mentor and volunteer in something related. A hint: What do you love to do, think about in your free time? Whatever answer you give, this is a genuine interest of yours. Make sure to mention your interests and what you've done to educate yourself in your essays and any other part of the college application you can. Show your true colors! Good luck! And if you don't get in, don't despair. Ivy Leagues are very expensive, and sometimes overrated. You can always try transferring in as a soph, or junior. Or grad school. wishing you all good things in life...Are there any Ivy league graduates out there that can give me advice?
Score a perfect or near perfect score on either the SAT or the ACT, it will get their attention.
Better bring that B up. 4.0 looks a lot more impressive than 3.95.
I STRONGLY recommend saving an expensive Ivy League education for your graduate degree. Very little financial aid/scholarship money is available to undergrads there, but as a grad student you are likely to receive fellowships that will cover tuition costs. Attend a less expensive university, work hard to set yourself apart on campus there, then apply to Harvard for grad school. This is a much more economical way to obtain a ';name brand'; education. If you are interested in field for which you will only need a bachelor's degree, it probably does not warrant the expense of an Ivy League in the first place.
I really don't understand why you need an Ivy League grad to answer your question. As a college student who has been through where you're at right now, I can tell you that no matter where you are applying to, from your state university to a private college, pretty much everyone were in CSF and had straight A's in high school. To dishtingusih yourself from others you must have something far more than just typical school stuff that any more-than-average student can do - Scouting, having some kind of Musical Ability, some kind of summer study abroad program, etc. Trust me when I say that most of these more prestigious colleges don't want nerds, they want applicants who are as experienced off the bookshelf as they are good students.
Lastly I assume that your CSF stands for Cal-Scholarship-Fed and not Christian Special Forces?
My fiance graduated from an ivy league school recently. You seem to be doing similar things in regards to grades and community service, but the one thing he did that really made him stand out was taking college courses in high school. He applied to Stanford when he was a junior and went to the west coast and took three intensive summer courses there with college students.
This was a great idea because it demonstrated his abilities and those credits were transferred to his university as well.

What is the best advice you have ever been given regarding your career in the military?

My Command Sergeant Major taking to the side and saying to me ( a young E-6) ';You are going to be my replacement someday. Get enrolled in every school you can take and complete your civilian education';. Well I didn't replace him but I made it to Sergeant Major by doing exactly what he said.
By the time I took over my own CSM slot some ten years later I was highly trained in the Army Education System and had two college degrees.
I did not stop there. When I retired I went back to school and got my MBA and even more certification. I now have a second career in Government and have a great future.What is the best advice you have ever been given regarding your career in the military?
My Dad told me to listen to what the DI told me, but to let it go in one ear and out the other. In other words, don't take the BS to heart, but listen to what they have to say because it may save your life one day.
But what would have been nice to know was that the phrase ';You owe me!'; had nothing to do with money. That's right, I was the geek who reached for his wallet when the DI said that to me. Only to find out that that just increased the number of push ups I was about to do. Even if I did hear the rotten SOB laughing as I walked away later.
Before leaving for USMC boot camp, a mentor told me to remember that out of every 1000 people I meet, 999 of them will be complete and total *ssholes. I don't know how this applied to my training, but it sure explained a good deal.
1. Whatever task you are given, do it with a smile.
2. Always keep an ';in'; with the ';outs'; (your subordinates). Take care of them and they will take care of you.
3. Never get caught between the dog and the lamp post.
Be where you are supposed to be, when you are supposed to be there. Do what you are supposed to do, when you are supposed to do it!
Everything else will take care of itself.
My uncle was in the Air Force. Recently retired. He tried to convince be to join. Since he has been in the air force, he has been able to provide for his family better than any one else in my family. They have basically traveled the world, be evey place you can imagine. They are able to afford a big beautiful house because the air force have really taken care of him and his family. He has been able to provide his family with whatever they need, money has never been an issue. He has a college degree that is also fully paid for, he doesnt have to worry about loans of any kind. He is in his 50's and is living the life he always hoped he would, all because of his service. He wouldnt trade it for anything.
The best advice I was given was pay close attention to your leaders. Someday you will be in a leadership position so look at your current leaders, and take leadership traits from them you like, and discard those you do not.
Take one outstanding leadership trait from all the leaders in your life and apply them to your own leadership style....you'll never lose.

USMC was not an experience or an adventure, it was life changing! It changed my very view on relationships, life, people in general...everything. I would never ever regret or forsake my time in the Marines......great years! I like to think I answered the ';Calling'; and i'm glad I did!

I believe it was the Marine Gunnery Sargent who told me to dig your hole as deep as you can, keep your head down and kill the enemy before he kills you.
