Universities overseas: How important is it that the University is relatively well known?
Q. I m applying to university this year and am seriously considering sending in applications to several universities overseas. However, the few that I have in mind aren t very well known where I reside, and I m concerned that post graduation this may create some problems for me when the time comes for me to establish a career. So my question to you is: do you think that if I were to attend a more unknown university overseas, would it have much of an impact on me when trying to establish a career in my native country? Thanks for the help and advice!

Does the university of your undergrad make a difference to your medical school application?
Q. I am in the Nanotechnology Engineering program at the University of Waterloo, which is the best engineering program at the best engineering institution in Canada. I am planning to take some of my pre-med courses like Biology and Immunology at my University. Would it make a difference if my university is not that well known for undergraduate studies in sciences? Or does my MCAT score compensate for the quality of my university?

A. The university does not matter. It's like you've imagined, the MCAT compensates (or tells) for it all.

What's the difference between University of Bristol and the University of West England Bristol?
Q. This year I will start my degree in the U.K and some people suggested me to apply to Bristol as appears to be a nice city for students. When I was applying through UCAS I selected UWE( university of west of England) and apparently it is totally different from the University of Bristol. I would prefer University of Bristol because is one of the best universities in the universities' ranking of the United Kingdom, EWU seems to have a lower level. EWU has offer me a place in the degree I wish to do. What should I do?

A. My daughter has just done the rounds of university open days and interviews as she will start her degree this October. She has luckily been offered a place at the University of Bristol. The two universities you mention are not even on the same scale. Bristol University is seen as very, very good and is difficult to get into, the other one is way down in the rankings I'm afraid. Don't want to put a damper on your offer, but I'm just being realistic. Without knowing what other offers you have or where you have applied to, it is difficult to judge. If you have no other offers, take this one. If you have offers at higher ranking universities, take one of those. People judge you on where you went, not what you studied I'm afraid.

What university has the most fans and what university makes the most money selling apparel?

So basically, I just want to know statistics on universites to figure out which one has the most fans and I also would like to know which university makes the most money selling university products. I guess what I am trying to find out, and this may be hard to find. Even though it would have to be broken down by states of course, which university has the most fans overall (fan population) and also perhaps some statistics about the overall university incomes.

A. ... you would need to take Medicine. Glamorgan doesn't offer med, generally only the more 'prestigious' universities do, and their entry requirements are very high - a large handful of A grades in 'proper' A levels (Chemistry is a must), a very large handful of A* grades at GCSE, plus a very good personal statement and lots of extra-curricular activities. You would need to take, and do well in, an aptitude test such as BMAT.

A. The requirements for a teacher varies by state. You will need a certain number of subject matter classes as well as prescribed education classes. You will probably not be able to do all three of the things listed above as an undergraduate. Take one language and education classes. Your state may also require that you pass certain tests. You can also contact your own state department of education for specific information./ The certification requirements for your state will also be found below./

Asked by Luke H - Tue Jan 13 19:22:44 2009 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments

A. You can get a pilot's license with almost any degree. That said, it is very expensive, and hard to get the flight hours. The two places to consider for college would be Embry-Riddle and the US Air Force Academy (where they will also fix your eyes so you can fly). Embry-Riddle is expensive and the Air Force Academy, while free, gives you a commitment to the Air Force afterwards. Air Force ROTC and OTS is similar to the academy, but the odds of getting a pilot slot aren't as good. If neither of those things work for you, then you can try to get a private pilot license, but it is a lot harder to get hired anywhere.

Is the modern University system the most practical way to train professionals like Engineers, Accountants etc?
Q. Universities are expensive. It's an ethical dilemna that we have to go into 150K of debt just to try to obtain the American dream. Universities have a lot of requirements that have little to do with the jobs of accounting and engineering. In the distant (maybe not so distant) past these jobs were trained through free apprenticeships, not university, and you didn't have to start in 6 figures of debt just to try to obtain a middle class job.
Asked by Daniel John - Wed Jan 20 09:55:12 2010 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I think you are correct in that the university system is not the best way to educate many professions including engineering and accounting. In Great Britain, medical doctors are trained for the medical profession right after high school (their equivalent) and omit the courses normally required in a liberal arts education or the first two years of a University in America. If I recall they spend four years in med. school followed by two years of internship and another year or two if they are in a specialty. Therefore, they can be out and practicing medicine after six years or 23 or 24 years old or 25 or 26 with a specialty. I think accountants and engineers should spend 2 years in a school or university and another 2 years as interns… [cont.]

Asked by walz - Wed Oct 28 14:51:04 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There are internships at both universities. I've met Syracuse grads, but I haven't met BU grads yet... but likely that's because I live in PA, not in the North east. BU has a good reputation as well... so you'd probably do well at either. Visit both campuses and get a vibe for the departments. Then go to the one that feels right for you. Let me give you an example, when visiting med schools, my girlfriend visited Johns Hopkins, which is often ranked in the top 5, but she got a feeling it was really cut-throat when she visited there, and chose to go elsewhere for med school. I'm sure she'd of been a successful doctor either way, but she was successful where she went, and really liked her program.

A. There are two parts to a website; the graphics and the things that you can do with the site. Two different skill sets and taught quite differently. Some people will claim to be able do both but they require different kinds of brain so it isn't really possible. To study graphic design you will need to go to Art school. For the 'parts that move' you will read Computing at a regular uni. This will give you the skills to create the dynamic part of the website plus teach you many other important areas relating to websites such as security, databases, distributed processing etc.

A. In the US there are state an private universities. State schools are funded mostly by the government. Most money comes from the actual state the school is in and these schools take a majority of kids from their own state. State schools are cheaper than private universities and colleges. Most can not afford the resources that top private schools offer. You are more likely to find very large classes at state schools. Most states have many schools in the state system of varying quality. In California, a huge state, the system is enormous. It has Ucs, it's top schools, CSUs, it's middle tier schools and community colleges. Over the years the lines have blurred, so there are some CSUs (CA state schools) which are now better/harder to get into,… [cont.]

How important is university name in obtaining a job as a professor?
Q. How important is the name recognition or prestige of the university when applying for a job as a professor? Would the university you got your PhD at be more important than the one you got your Masters from?
Asked by gt5879c - Tue Aug 4 09:57:47 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The prestige of the institution(s) you intend can be a factor in the kinds of positions you will be offered (in any field). However, there are generally more important factors for those wanting to teach at the college level, including professional experience, performance as a graduate assistant, recommendations, academic records, and area of specialization within a discipline. Rather than complete a masters first and then begin a PhD program, it is easier, and generally faster, to enroll directly in a PhD program. The institution from which you earn a PhD will generally be viewed as more important than the institution(s) from which you earned prior degrees.

Honestly, besides Nursing, an associates doesn't lead to much around where I live anyways. I went to a university, which is a 4 year school to get a bachelors degree. It does offer graduate classes, so I am unsure if it has to offer graduate classes to be a university. The way I differentiate is that I see it as they are all colleges but only ones that offer a Bachelors and on (4years +) would be a university.

If you are set on becoming an ophthalmologist, you will first need to get into a good medical school. Rankings for medical schools can be found through US News. After that, you will have to apply for a residency program in ophthalmology, which is an additional 4 years. I don't believe there is such a thing as a primary care university, however, many medical schools are part of a larger research university.
