University of Michigan-Dearborn Top Questions

There is a huge difference between college and high school. If i could go back in time to talk to my self, i would say to me that take the higher courses as possible so that you will be more succesful in college. I would also say to my self to master in all the topics to have more than 3.00 GPA, and also master on your SAT test. With all those best score you will applie in to the best universities, and also applie for scholarships that will help you pay for your tuition and books, which will help you achive your goal. As a college student I found that there is pleinty of time and when people don't use that time properly their fell, base on that experience I would say to my self befour or alfter graduating to walk around the universities or colleges you would like to attend, and ask question about your major and every thing else you want to know , and see what you life as a college student will be before atteding college, so you will be prepare to deal with most of the difficulties that most of the freshman have.

The advice that I would give myself would be to apply for everything, and apply everywhere. Because things change and theres nothing wrong with going home. I would tell myself to find a new way to study and bug my teachers for even more help. And the biggest piece of advice I would give myself is to just breathe and let the storm pass because it will all get better no matter what and there are more important things to focus on. Lastly, I would tell myself that all of the stuff that seems worthless and seems like it's just a waste of time, to be careful when I choose what to skim over because some of the simplest stuff is actually important.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would make sure I study for all my test in my classes. My senior year I kind of slack and i knew if i actually studied, I could be at Florida State University right now instead of Palm Beach State College. I would always make sure I got involved with more school activities such as, student government, helping with the marching band, help at the track meets, and FBLA. As in now, I am focusing and getting straight A's in college so I can go to Florida State University. I just wish I didn't slack in my senior year and if I could ever go back, I know I would of made smarter and better choices.

My advice would be to get into the habit of studying more. There is only so much time in a day and more of it needs to be alloted to studying. Once you are in college there are more things in your life that you have to do yourself. Your parents don't handle as much for you as they used to do. If you don't have ingrained study habits you can have problems managing everything. I would suggest to myself that along with study habits, better organization would help too. Time management becomes more important and being organized in your home life and school life helps simplify the process.

Don't wait for things to come at you, make an effort get what you want. College is the beginning of your future take advantage of every opportunity you have. Apply to as many sholarships you can, there's so many out there, that people don't even notice or don't realize. And overall set your goals up high, because everything is possible, you just need determination and the will to do it.

I graduated highschool with a grade point average of 1.67. I was ranked 217 out of 232 students. My horrific GPA was not a reflection on my learning ability, but rather my emotional state of mind. I was raped the summer before my Freshman year. I didn't tell a soul. I sank into a deep depression, not caring about anything, certainly not school. By the time I reached my Senior year, I had nope hope of being accepted into a quality college. I attempted Cummunity College, but didn't fare well there either. It wasn't until I moved home at 27 to care for my dying mother that I returned to College. My mother was adament that I had a degree, so she could have peace of mind knowing I could support myself when she was gone. I enrolled In a Radiography program. I graduated with honors, although my mother didn't live to see it. Looking back, I would tell my younger self to tell someone, don't allow this tragic encounter define and posess you. You have a beautiful mind! You can acomplish anything you put your mind to! My mother would be proud.

Now that I am almost finished with my undergraduate degree, I look back and reflect on my transition from high school to college and realize how beneficial certain advice would have been. The first thing I would advise myself on would be to focus and work my hardest my freshman year. This would help for 2 reasons including starting with a strong GPA in which I could build off of, and this hard work could also free up time during my senior year in which I could use to find work or internships in the field I intend on graduating into. I also would encourage myself to be open and receptive to new things. I didn't realize how much I would be exposed to and experience because of the freedoms that come with college education. Life experience is so important in self discovery and involvement in many things would contribute significantly to one's education. So work hard! Be involved! You'll learn and accomplish more than you can ever imagine if you're willing to work for it.

The University of Michigan Dearborn has provided me with the opportunity to grow mentally and socially. Prior to attending college I was unsure about every aspect of my life; my future career, my attitudes on certain issues, etc. After my first semester of college I became actively involved in several campus groups; Amnesty International, Pre-Med Program, minorities for Pre-Med, and the Golden Key International. My college forced me to socialize and therefore not only learn about my peers but also myself. I am more self-aware than I have ever been and am confident in my choices. Though the economic situation in my household is challenging (my father is a single dad working for General Motors, who recently received a significant pay cut) the University of Michigan- Dearborn provided me with a scholarship which has greatly helped pay for college. Most importantly, my college has not only challenged me intellectually and academically but has also challenged me to discover myself and that is what has made my college experience truly priceless.
