I am doing bachelors in electrical & electronics engg & wanna do MS in some electronics area. So, which subject exam should I give, maybe maths as there is no subject in area of electrical or elctronics?

I can’t even read the 1st 3 words of a sentence without those thoughts, & they’re repetitive. It’s depriving me from learning, & professors say I don’t follow directions, & that I don’t pay attention. I can’t control my mind wandering, trying to fight these thoughts away. & I can’t let the thoughts succeed & go through. I don’t want to. They’re poisonous thoughts that I can’t get out of my head. This causes me to fail exams & not do well in school. I have a BA in Spanish, but with a low GPA. So, I have the opportunity to take extra courses to raise my GPA & take the GRE, & I’m having the same problem studying for the GRE. Nothing is sinking in. Nothing I read or study. I don’t want this do destroy me & me feel like a failure & unable to get into graduate school to study linguistics & continuing my Spanish studies.

I am currently ending my junior year of obtaining a b.s. in econ and an additional major in Statistics from a Big Ten school. I was wondering what my chances are, with the grades i currently have in my math, statistics, and econ classes, of getting into a top 25 or even top 15 grad school.

intro to micro…4.0
intro to macro…4.0
intermediate micro…3.5
intermediate macro…4.0
econometrics I…4.0
international econ…4.0

calc I…3.0
calc II…3.5
calc III…4.0
linear algebra…3.5
real analysis I…3.5

Stats I (400 lvl non calc based)…3.5
Stats II (400 lvl non calc based)…4.0
Stats & Prob I (400 lvl; calc III prereq)…3.5
Stats & Prob II (400 lvl; calc III prereq)…3.5

I still have to take my GRE, and theory of mathematical interest, actuarial models, advanced econometrics, and ill probably take real analysis II as well. The only thing I have a concern about is first semester of my freshman year I slacked bad and was on a path to 2.0 calc I, so i dropped it and got a failing grade for it, then retook it. Its on my transcript, but I feel like i proved myself with averaging a 3.5+ in the rest of my math classes. So with it being such an introductory course 2 years ago will it affect me that much? And will the grades i have obtained help me to get into a top 25 grad school?

I feel like I can’t function in everyday activities, like work & school. I already have my Bachelor’s degree, but I had a low GPA, due to my disability. It feels like everything is hard to me. Is this a mental blockage or what? I would like to go to Grad School & get my Master’s degree & get a PhD, but looking @ my school’s course descriptions, I freak out. I feel dumb. I think I’d be wasting my time if I continue with school because I don’t think I’ll make it to Grad School since I don’t do well on research papers & I feel like the GRE is too difficult. It seems like I can’t function normally like other people, & as far as employment goes, I can’t keep a job because people say I work too slow. If I were to rush, anxiety would kick in & I’d have a panic attack or accidentally mess up or break something. I’m getting disability benefits, but I don’t want to make such small income for the rest of my life. I want to know how I can make myself more functional.

GRE- exam is CBT(computer based test) & TOEFL is iBT(internet based test) test

A recurring (daily!) theme on R&S is the mantra that Christians are irrational, illogical, stupid, and _________. (Supply your own taunt based on your own experiences here.) Because there is such a constant demand for EVIDENCE and DOCUMENTATION, how about everyone including a summary of their C.V. in their profile, along with academic degrees.

So why not be more empirical and post one’s basic background information? Of course, whenever I ask this, I hear backtracking that starts to nuance: "I didn’t really mean unintelligent in general. Just in relation to views of the Bible, religion, etc. etc."

I’ve made this challenge to many — immediately after they have accused me of stupidity, "brain damage", and you name it. Yet, whenever I make the challenge, the discussion seems to end at the point. If someone truly believes in their intellectual superiority, why aren’t they willing to document it (or "provide evidence" as the demand is so often made of Christians on this forum). I’d even settle for GRE, LSAT, or even an SAT set of scores.

So are such taunts of irrationality and lack of intelligence sincere?…….or simply argumentative and resorting to name-calling when all else fails?

(I’m even willing to look at the responders’ profiles to look for evidence of intellectual accomplishments. So feel free to update your profiles before posting your answer.)

"Why not pose the question to the people you claim are doing this?"

If you will send me a mailing list, that would be great. Otherwise, the only way to reach the anonymous people on YA R&S is to post to the same forum. (Think about it.)
_____

Those who have stated that intelligence, academic degrees, IQ’s, and test scores are not the issue ARE EXACTLY RIGHT. And precisely BECAUSE that should be so obvious,I’m amazed how often that insult is thrown at Christians (and sometimes theists in general)on this forum–even though when we actually discuss it out in the open, there is a consensus that intelligence per se or academic credentials per se is not the issue.

Also related to this issue is the frequent claim on this forum that anyone who believes in God or some set of religious doctrine is MENTALLY ILL. Of course, if this was true, there would be an entry and diagnosis code in DSM-IV for TFD (Theistic Fantasy Disorder) or RPD (Religious Personality Disorder). Yet, I see this one at least once per day in this forum.

However,despite the frequency of these phenomena,when someone (like me) mentions it explicitly as a frequent occurrence on this forum, nobody admits that they do it! Amazing.But somebody is doing it!
___________________

It is interesting how many who answered clearly understood the tongue-in-cheek nature of the question — while others didn’t.

But my favorites are those that simply reaffirmed that Christians are brain dead and that their own logic and thinking skills are still superior to those who disagree with them. (I could hardly ask for more.)

As the credit card commercial describes it: "Priceless!"
___________

Yes, it is SO impressive when someone mentions the words "curriculum vitae".

(Once again: "Priceless!" Of course, the idea of "impressing" such an auspicious assembly of inquiring minds wanting to know is kind of cute in itself. Yes, ya really can’t make this stuff up. It keeps me coming back. It is kind of like driving past an accident on the highway. People hate to admit it, but they can’t help but look.)

Thanks. Keep ‘em coming!

It’s a bit early for me still yet–I am on my 73rd hour of my BS in Psychology. I am starting my core sciences for medical school, but I am confronted with a problem: my GPA is 3.846 based on junior status, and this is competitive for both medical school and doctoral programs, however I know that if I continue with the pre-med track (Organic Chem, Physics I & II, Bio II remains for me), my GPA will certainly be lower (let’s face it, they’re harder classes).

Now I can continue with my BS in Psychology and write my honors undergraduate thesis and then apply for a PhD program in Clinical Psych., or I can sign up for the MCAT next year and try my luck with medical school, thereby lowering my GPA and competitiveness for the PhD program.

PhD programs in Clinical Psych. generally do not require the heavy science load that MD programs do, and thus the GPA requirement is a bit higher for PhD programs than MD programs, although the GRE is supposedly much easier than the MCAT.

I don’t want to go for medical school and hurt my competitiveness for PhD programs, but I’d really like to get an MD because i’m interested in psychiatry and pharmacology (I want to practice as a psychiatrist).

I’m not particularly interested in other things physicians do, but I know an MD is a requirement for psychiatry.

What do you think the best course of action is?

I need to take the GRE to enhance my Graduate school application. What is the best approach for studying for the GRE? How much time should be alloted to study for it, one month, 3 months?? What are the best sources for the exam (online & books)?

So I am not a physics major, I am a history major, but I have taken a lot of physics and math classes and was wondering if I would have a shot at getting into physics grad school if I did well on the GRE and in those physics and math classes I did take.

I have done math through Math Methods for Physics Majors and all the stuff before (multi var-calc, linear algebra and such)

I did well in the regular calc based mechanics, waves, optics, e&m and thermo courses.

I did well in Modern Physics including: Atomic Physics, Statistical Mechanics, Molecular Structure, Condensed Matter Physics and Nuclear and Particle Physics.
But I did not do so well the relativity and quantum mechanics intro….which was first modern physics course.

What would I need to do to get into grad school? If I have letters of rec would my chances improve?

i wanted to know about how the exams
are conducted &about the websites offering information about this
i wanted to know whether some coaching is needed for these exams from which year of engineering should iu take coaching

I earned my BA in History from San Francisco State, but while I was attending school I worked in the school library’s circulation department where I learned how to checkout books, deal with patrons, and learn how to read call numbers (mostly Library of Congress) in which I gained an interest in working in a library. (I have loved libraries since I was a kid)

As of now I am working on my Library Tech degree at City College of SF (I will finish the Library Tech program this fall semester) and I plan on taking the GRE in August so I can fulfill the requirement to go to Grad School either at San Jose State or UCLA for Library & Information Science. I have just recently passed the cataloging requirement for the Library tech course with a B grade the class itself was very detailed oriented and had a lot of numbers.

For most of my life I did well on most subjects, I was average in writing, but was terrible at math and to this day I still have trouble with math especially my times tables which is a source of shame & embarrassment, but now the GRE requirement has reared it’s ugly head I have read most of the material and the math always stumps me.

I was wondering if math is a major requirement for Library & Information science and if so I worry that my hopes of getting into Grad School will be blown out of the water!! Please help!!

I’m 26 years old and I have always dreamt to be a doctor. I’m currently working as a CCU nurse in an acute care hospital for 3 years already, and I’m eligible to become CRNA. But of course, I have to take my GRE exam. As for entrance to med school, I could actually get in already this coming 2011, whereas for CRNA school, I could start by 2012. It’s a matter now of deciding which path to take. My highest potential is going to med school. What I’m anxious about is may be I’m too old already to be a doctor, considering all the years that it would take me to study – 4 years of med proper, plus 3 years of residency plus may be 2 more years of fellowship. I’ll probably be 38 years old when I’m done. I would appreciate your comments and advice on this matter. Thank you all!
Oh yeah, as with the med school application, everything’s settled. I’ll be going home in Manila, Philippines for med school (provided I’d pursue it) & since I’m a US citizen already, it will not be hard to come back here in US and apply for a match.

I work for Educational Testing Services (ETS), we’re a standardized testing company that hosts various exams such as the GRE and Praxis.

We sell study material directly off of our website in the form of E-books (Electronic Books) all of which are copyrighted by us, the makers.

One day I was bored and I searched for one of our guides on ebay to see if there was any used copies. I found this guy selling our ebooks (printed out and shipped), this guy purchased our e-book and is not printing out copies and mailing them to people who buy them off him on ebay.

I’m am wondering if this is legal or illegal because he’s not actually sending the file electronically, he’s printing off the file in full and mailing physical copies.

Here is the ebay listing for this guy – tell me if you think this is illegal or legal because of the method he uses to send them.

I was wondering if I only solve the writing/verbal section and leave the analytic section, is that ok? I don’t want to do the math again and get a lower score. Please help I searched ETS no info I even asked no response yet. Thank you in advance.
