What university is good to attend if you are seeking to obtain a psychiatry degree?
Q. Okay, my first choices for undergraduate are: Princeton UCLA Duke NYU Boston University And my choices for Graduate are: Johns Hopkins UCLA Are these good universities or do I need to change them? Any advice? Thank you! Yeah, yea dawg, I'm a freshman in high school, and Princeton has been my dream since I was 5. So, yeah, I think I have a shot. PS: I'm #8 in my class with a GPA of 4.1 and an IQ of 128. What now, bitches???

A. These are good choices. Just score high on SAT and have a GPA higher than 4.3 if you want to compete well. They don't care about your IQ unless you're in MENSA (like me). And as for Princeton, you'll either need to be filthy rich or distinguish yourself like submitting an academic paper in a journal, winning lots of awards, etc.

Is a university diploma suitable for work permit in south Korea teaching English?
Q. I have seen too many postings saying you need a BA for teaching English positions. Can you get away with a diploma - Engineering to be precise, Or do I need to go back to university? I have the 4 week Trinity College TEFL as well.
Asked by Paul - Sun Jun 8 05:39:09 2008 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments

A. You need a 4-year university degree. I'm guessing you are in England? In the US, a 4-year degree is a BA (or BS). If yours is the equivalent of that, you are fine. It can be in any subject area to get a work permit, though getting a job is usually a little easier the more closely it's related to English/teaching.
