University of North Carolina at Charlotte Top Questions

if i went back in time to tell my high school self how to better prepare for the transition, i would say to train harder and join the football team like my coaches always told me to. And also i would say to choose the high rise dorms to live in do to the fact that there were more people to interact with. And also simply to keep up the acedemic prowess i maintained all throughout my grade school years. One of the big things i would tell myself is to not be afraid to be a part of as many campus organizations as i possibly could without overwhelming myslef. Theyre all very inviting and interactive both with the campus and the community around it.

My senior year of high school was incredible and I honestly wouldn't change anything about it. During my senior year of high school, I was also a college sophomore. I began attending college during my junior year of high school and was very fortunate to have graduated with my Associate in Arts degree with a 4.0 GPA during my senior year. I also graduated as class salutatorian for my high school with a 4.58 GPA. During my senior year of high school I learned not to give up and put in all my effort into acheiving my goals becasue the two years I experienced in college taught me that hard work truly pays off. I learned that studying and staying focused on a short term goal is the key to acheiving success and is a great way to get closer to my long term goals. I would advise any high school senior to never give up and keep trying their hardest to acheive their goals, no matter how hard it may seem and no matter what challenegs they face because from experience, I can well say that hard work and determination are the keys to success.

Oh my gosh! Allison, is that you? You look great, but what have you been doing for yourself? I can see you are still more interested in impressing your boyfriend and friends, rather than setting yourself up for an amazing future. Well I'm you, in the future and I am here to give you advice about college and the transition to getting there. First, raise that GPA! A higher GPA will get you scholarships, which means more shopping money for you. Second, give back to your community. The world needs helping hands and it's a great learning experience. Third, be dependable! Now I know you are feeling anxious about leaving your norm, but relax, it's your time to discover yourself. College has so many helpful tools to make the most out of your time there, use the resources. Money is a big deal, keep your finances in check and it will save you in the long run. Remember there are many aspects to college and life is played out by your actions now! So go use your spare time to study instead of daydreaming about your boyfriend. Success is more attratcive than failure.

For some people, their senior year of high school consisted of either taking all AP courses or taking easy classes just to graduate. However, for me my senior year consisted of juggling AP courses, sports, and trying to get into college. If I could give my senior year self advice now, I would have three major advices. The first advice would be to take the SAT and ACT seriously. Those are your tickets for recieving scholarships and getting into the college you dreamed to go to in the beginning. If you do not take the time to study then you will not get the outcome you are looking for. The second advice would be to attend more tutor or extra help session to fully understand the courses you were having difficulty in. The third advice would be to apply for scholarships early. Finding scholarships is a tedious journey, but in the end it is all worth it for you and your family.

I would tell myself to go to UNC Charlete first. That a four year school is the besThat way you dont loose credits. Dont be afreid to make changes. Go and look at all the schools before you make a final choice. Start looking at schools your 2nd year of high school. This way you could find the right fit.

I would advise myself to enjoy college more and work a little less. College is a time of fun, experiences, and of course a road to your future. If I worked a little less I could have had more time for fun and studying. I would tell myself that college is going to be the best time of your life. At the same time I would tell myself not to change anything because I have meet some of best friends for life and my college sweetheart, which has been amazing. What I did before lead me to be accepted into law school and a masters program at the same time. When comparing these two options the second is better, going through college is a once in a lifetime experience and I would not change it in the world for the reasons listed above.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would say, "find a balance". You don't realize until you get into college that you have to find a balance in your studies, social life, and sleep. In high school, I never really had to worry about such things. I was always going to school and then coming home. At UNCC, however, you have classes, studying, social life, and sleeping you have to mix successfully together. The first month of college I was so booked in social time I stayed up late, sacrificing my sleep in order to have time for studying and homework. Of course, this is not something you should do if you are not use to it at all. After second semester I finally found my balance, with an appropriate amount of sleep time to boot. Another thing I would tell my high school self would be "the universe will let it happen, so don't sweat the small stuff." Your studies are important, but dont sweat over it too much or you'll get sick.

I would have made a better study habit for myself so that I would have entered college knowing exactly what I needed to do instead of wasting time and not taking all of my classes seriously. I would have gotten a job so that I could have helped my parents pay for school because it is a struggle and loans cost way too much to pay back in the end, especially with high interest rates that may double in the future.

I would tell myself that choosing a school based on the availability of finances versus the choosing a school based on it's academics is not worth it. In addition I would tell myself that pursuing a career based on it's median income over choosing a career that you are going to enjoy is going to make your life miserable. The choices you make now are teh ones that will effect you for the rest of your life. I would also tell myself to save a lot of time and start studyinh excercise science from the begining.

Assuming that I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to take risks and not to fear failure. During my college application process, fear of the rejection letter led me to neglect my application to my dream school, The University of South Carolina. Of course, hindsight is always clearer and looking back at my college career thus far it was actually the mistakes I've made and the risks I've taken that brought me where I am today. As the President of the Delta Kappa Chapter of the Chi Omega Fraternity, a laborer on my campus through the Campus Outreach Ministry, an Inductee into the National Society of Leadership and Success, and a proud UNC Charlotte Forty-Niner, I can confidently say that hard work and assurance in myself through any circumstance got me exactly where I was meant to be.
