Yale Mba, MBA interviews
I read Robin Cole's message on the East Coast trip. I'm glad that the trip was worth it. I'm flying out to Chicago on 10/10 to visit UMichigan, UChicago, and Northwestern. I had made up my mind to go out there but was still unsure that it would be worth the expense. Now I'm more excited than ever. Does anybody have any information or experience with these schools? Any information on Faculty to see, Admission people to talk to, etc would be greatly appreciated.Sounds like y...

Gary Glen Price-Yale Law?
I just noticed that you posted a very interesting list of the 50 schools most represented at Harvard Law on the PR board. When you do it for Yale, I'd love to see it posted here, since I don't usually check the teen-angst filled Princeton Review board and Harvard and Yale Law seem to attract quite different students.The original posting of the Harvard Law list to which you refer was here on news:soc.college.admissions. Links to that analysis and discussions of it are shown below. ...

Wisconsin Mba, Distance MBA
Any advice on which schools to look at for a fully accredited distance learning MBA? Any thoughts on UT Dallas?Some of the regionally accredited MBA programs from a distance include the following: National/International Programs: Auburn University Auburn University, AL 1-888-844-5300 www.eng.auburn.edu/department/eop/ Availability: U.S. and APO/FPO addresses Baker College Flint, MI 1-800-469-4062 www.baker.edu Availability: Online/International City Un...

Widener University School Of Law, Which law school...
As I slowly receive my acceptance letters from various law schools, I'm faced with the deciding where to go. I do want to focus on IP and International Law. I've been accepted to Santa Clara, Chicago-Kent, and Case Western so far... Does anyone out have an opinion on which has the best IP program?For one opinion, see "Which law school should I attend if I am interested in intellectual property law?" at http://www.patents.com/opportun.sht#law-school . There were a limited ...

Widener Law School, Anyone know anything about law school?
I am a Senior in college and have decided that after I graduate I want to go to law school (in San Diego or Riverside area). I am hoping that someone can answer these questions: 1.Are you expected to have a high GPA (3.5 or above) to be admitted into many law schools?) 2.Is it relatively easy to get a job making a decent salary after you pass the bar? For example, am I going to be able to get a job making at least $80k in the first few years. It has to be worth it for me to ...

MBA Rankings, and Exec MBA vs. Regular MBA
This time the questions, for those of you who care to stay on topic, are: 1. If a school's full-time MBA program has a certain rating, will that tend to reflect on the part-time program as well? For example, I am thinking of doing the U of MD program (The Smith School of Business), since the location is good for me, and as in-state student I can actually afford the tuition. The full-time program is rated 25 by Business Week, which is not great, but it's not bad, either. Bu...

Should I get a MBA??
Hey I am about to embark on my jr year in undergraduate study at Samford Univ and I was wondering what yal think about getting a masters in Business Administration. I really do not like the feeling of 2 more years of school but nowadays it seems like the only way to be well off. I plan on getting married after college then getting a job then think about getting a masters although I do not want to go to anymore school? Is it realy necessary to get a MBA nowadays or is it ok not to ...

Whittier Law School, law school question
I would like to go to law school. I do not have a bachelors degree. I am a Registered Nurse. Anyone know of any "good" law schools that are accredited and will take less than a bachelors degree for acceptance?I don't know where you live, but in most states, you need a bachelor's to enter law school. California is one of the few states where you can get a license after going to law schools that don't necessarily require a bachelor's. Most of those schools are NOT ABA-accredited. ...

What kind of non-lawyer job can I get with a law degree?
If you'll indulge me for a moment - I'm a 2nd year law student at a middle of the road law school (low 1st tier/high 2nd tier). Long story short - I'm not doing so hot (~C/C+ average), especially after a mandatory grading curve implemented by the school last summer. I am worried about paying off my loans, much less supporting myself, after graduating from law school. Plus I can't seem to even get any interviews for summer clerkships/internships, even at the public defender's off...

What Can You Do With A Law Degree
Is there a law school that offers a degree program via the internet?Could have swore I saw on CNN's Burden Of Proof today that Regents had been approved by the A.B.A. to offer the degree via Internet. Could have been that they were asking for approval. I only caught it before they broke for commercial. I'm sorry, I didn't realise you were in the US, It's a bog standard LLB from the University of London, if you wanted to practise in the USA, you would have to sit the US bar exam...

What Can You Do With A Business Degree
Does the Master have the authority to "drop down" the Lodge, so that EA's or FC's can participate in the business of the Lodge without taking part in any vote?Nothing an Oxford dictionary can't solve. It defines `class' as "all of the college or school students of a particular year" and "a group of students or pupils who are taught together." It refers to "students" in the plural. I will presume that your school teaches them how a lodge operates, as some lodges here have a me...

what can I do with a law degree?
what can I do with a law degree? This is what my eldest daughter asked me tonight?You can do lots of things with a law degree - Defendants have made a number of (interesting but probably anatomically impossible) suggestions to me over the years :-) Oh I don't know. one particular spineless solicitor in the Prenton area of Birkenhead could quite easily manage it I'm sure (and then still make a mess of the small print :-) It's a perfectly respectable academic degree qualification...

What Can I Do With Accounting Degree, Would like advice on accounting degree?
Hi. I have a degree, but would like to get a second degree in accounting. There seems to be Masters of Accounting degrees and the general Bachelor's degrees in business concentrating on accounting. Is the Master's degree actually worth more than the Bachelor's degree? Because I was thinking of getting the Master's, but I've never seen any accouting job listings asking for the Master's degree. Do they even care or is it a fluff degree some schools offer for "professionals"? Any opinio...

What can you do with a Social Studies degree?
I noticed some people here are talking about going to college to study social sciences and history. But what can you do with a degree in that field? What is the point of going to college to study something like Ancient History? While it may be interesting, what can you do for a job once you get out of college (besides academia)?But seriously, you need to develop some job skills so you can get a job in business somewhere. Your major probably won't lead directly to a job, but if you...

Wharton Mba
Is it true that graduates of the undergraduate program at Wharton do not need a master's degree and go straight to a job and make gobs of money?That's what Wharton wants you to think. The truth is that you will get the degree of success in life, and from your education, that relates to your effort. Wharton students occasionally think that, because they are there, they are the only people who will ever be successful-- and the school encourages this-- just look at the T-Shirts for sal...

Westlaw Law School, Macintosh and Law School
I am going to be a first year law student this fall and I want to know if other law students who use mac are able to access Westlaw and Lexis-Nexis through modem. Any information would be greatly appreciated.Accessing Lexis and Westlaw on a Mac via modem is relatively easy, once provided with the requisite software. The two companies should provide you with software, once you arrive at school. Be forewarned, though, your school may not allow 1ls to use Lexis or Westlaw. The rational...

Virginia Law School, Shooting at VA Law School
Dean of the school and a professor are dead, three others shot, suspect in custody. This all happened at the Appalachian School of Law in Grundy, Virginia.Three people were killed and three wounded in a shooting spree Wednesday at the Appalachian School of Law, officials said. Among the dead was Anthony Sutton, dean of the school established in 1997, said Ellen Qualls, spokeswoman for Gov. Mark Warner, a former member of the school’s board. Also killed were a student and anothe...

Virginia Dental School, Dental school students at Tufts
Are dental school students at Massachusetts' Tufts University School of Dental Medicine... http://www.tufts.edu/dental ...under so much pressure as to interfere with the quality of dental school clinical patient care and followup?Probably not. If patient care is compromised, the student will fall into academic dodo with the administration. What the unnecessary pressure placed by dental schools on their students does is cause severe interpersonal problems with spouses, friends, an...

Vermont Law School???
Would anyone recommend me VLS as a good choice if I want to do Environmental Law??Unless there is virtually no question about your desire to become an environmental lawyer, you might want to look at a school that has other strong programs. I am not sure how strong Vermont is in other fields. Being a third year at Oregon (also ranked fairly high in environmental law), I have seen countless students arrive with the intent to go out and work for the EPA or Sierra Club, only to complete...

Study Questions Value of an M.B.A.
I think one needs to differentiate the full-time Top 100 programs and the rest. Grads of the better known programs see a nice bump in salary and often are in better firms on a better career path. That said, it certainly is possible to do well in many business areas such as sales and marketing without and MBA. Let's face it, most jobs are 90% comon sense and effort with only a small amount of knowledge and skills required--at least skills that are easily taught such as leadership...

Ut Dental School, Choosing a dental school
I recently got accepted into UT-Houston dental school and Baylor College of Dentistry....to those who have graduated from there or have heard of these TX schools (UT-San Antonio also), what are your opinions/comments? Also, has any dentists out there gone through the Army/Navy/Air Force Health Professions Scholarship program?I do not know about the Texas dental schools, but if they want to make a bonfire of any kind, I would go elsewhere. worry about except graduating form dental s...

Ut Dental School Houston, Advice please
As a predental student, I have been recently accepted to all 3 dental schools here in Texas (UT-Houston, Baylor, and UT-San Antonio). Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences at these schools? Any advice is greatly appreciated.Congrats on your acceptance letters!! Im here at UT also, and patiently waiting to hear from the dental schools, but nothing yet :( since my grades aren't too great. I wonder if you could answer a couple questions for me... When did you get your accept...

Dental treatment at US dental schools?
What are dentists' opinions on getting extensive dental treatment done at dental schools in the US (for financial reasons)? I'd also be interested in hearing about patients' experiences.Around here the dental schools are expensive. That said, it depends on what work is needed. I am sure a root canal or a crown might represent some savings, but do not go there with the intent of getting a complicated treatment done. It will take them five years to do. Remember, you are the te...

USC LAW SCHOOL ACCEPTANCE
I finally heard from a law school, and at least it was an acceptance- -by USC. Any information, anecodotal and impressionistic or otherwise, on USC's reputation and placement clout both locally and nationally? Cost issues aside, how does the school compare to UCLA --both in terms of image, prestige and so on, and in terms of actual quality of teaching, breadth of curriculum, intellectual level of student body, etc.? Also, the acceptance letter said nothing about any financial ai...

Which are the best Dental schools???
Can anyone tell me which are the best Dental Schools in USA and in canada tooYou can't really put the name "best" on any given dental school. Each school has its strengths and weaknesses. Its like saying (I understand you're from Canada) which school is better, Waterloo or McGill. In the field of engineering, McGill is not fit to hold Waterloo's jock straps but if we shift to sciences, Waterloo is no match. One dental school may be strong in the research, another may be strong in...

U Of M Dental School, Michigan Dental Schools
I have recently been accepted to both The University of Michigan and The University of Detroit/Mercy Dental Schools for the fall of 2000. I was looking for any advice on which to choose, as they both have their merits. Uof Michigan is older and located on the campus. Of course it has the reputation of UofM and it happens to be ~$10K/yr cheaper! UofD is private so they are more expensive. Their facility (clinic, sim-lab) was new in '97 and is awesome. The main difference...

online MBA or MIT ?
Hi. I am intested in doing an MBA or more preferably a Masters in Information Technoloy online via distant education. The school must be accredited and recognized. Any suggestions/comments/recommendations?I did my MBA from www.leics.ac.uk. They have MBA with various branches, IT, HR, E-Commerce., etc. Don't know about your location but I did mine through their local agent. 100% genuine and accredited...because I was there 2 years when I did my undergraduate, so it is not a ma...

University Of Washington Law School, Angry White Female Sues Univ. of Washington Law
Here's one for the list: a white woman with a 3.65 GPA and 94th percentile LSAT was denied admission to the Class of 1997, and now has filed suit alleging reverse discrimination. At first glance, her case seems strong: those numbers are very strong, and many "diversity" admits have weaker statistics. So what made her different?Washington posts its 1996 admission stats by GPA and LSAT at: http://www.law.washington.edu/ This woman would fall into the 3.50 - 3.74 GPA row and, I ...

University Of Washington Dental School, Which dental school to go to?
I am applying to Dental school this summer to enter in the Fall of 1995, and would appreciate any information that you could give me that would give me a better understanding about the school you went to. Tell me about both the good and bad aspects of the school.I am starting my fourth year at the University of Washington Dental School. It is a very highly regarded school (I think it was ranked 3rd nationally this year - however, these rankings are somewhat arbitrary) which is good...

University of the Pacific School of Dentistry
I'm a pre-dental student here in Chicago and would like to know if anyone is or was a student at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry (UOP) in San Francisco, California. I am hoping to find someone who has experienced their dental school career at that school and would like to ask them questions. If there is anyone in this forum that's been to UOP, please contact me via e-mail. I sincerely appreciate it.You might also ask someone to pass along this post to IDF which is ...

University Of Texas Law School, Texas Admissions encourage grade grubbing, exclude blacks/hispanics
The law's effect on the student body makeup at UT-Austin has been subtle. Overall, the proportion of top 10 percent students in the freshman class has edged up to 53 percent in the current first-year class, from 46 percent in 1997, just before the law took effect. After the initial, sharp drop in minority enrollment following the appeals court's decision, the 10 percent law has helped the numbers of African American and Hispanic freshmen recover approximately to their previous le...

Top 20 Dental Schools?
Does anyone have a list of the top 20 dental schools (as selected by U.S. News, or another similar survey)? I am going to be attending and am in the preliminary stages of gathering information. If anyone has such information, and would be willing to e-mail me a copy, it would be much appreciated.In this issue they ranked several different ways...like one category for perio or whatever. If you find this info I sure would like a copy of it. U.S. News & World Report ranked the top...

University Of Texas Dental School Houston, dental schools
I am a junior at the University of Notre Dame. I'm taking my DAT in April, but before I can fill out my application, I have to decide which schools I should apply to. I'm from Iowa, and I know that Iowa has a great dental program. I also know that it is very competitive to get in. My Cum GPA is a 3.265, and my science GPA is a 3.0. I have taken General Chemistry, Biology, Organic Chemistry, Physiology, and first semester physics. I am currently taking Cell Biology and second ...

University Of San Diego Law School
I don't know if the list is down or just slow; I haven't received much mail recently. Anyway, here is the brand new, and revised, USN&WR law school ranking. As usual, I don't like the ranking and I don't quite agree with their results. But this version is better than the ones they have had in recent years, and at least it doesn't have major name schools not in the top 50, like last time.I call it the "Kornfeld Effect." Now that you and your tiresome and unceasing "watch the BU/B...

University of Phoenix - Online Degree Program
I am interested in pursuing a masters degree in Computer Science. The University of Phoenix offers a Masters of Science in Computer Information Systems via online. It appears to be legit and accredited. Does anyone have any information regarding this program?A State Univ. in Missouri (Southwest Missouri Univ.???), can't remember the exact name, is now offering a Masters in Info. sys. online or through DL. This, I read recently, is new and fully accredited. City University also o...

University Of Miami Law School, DL Law Schools - LLM possibilities (Long List)
This is a list of American Bar Association approved Law schools for LLM studies that MAY accept DL JD degrees. This list was compiled from the individual web sites and therefore may not be 100% accurate. Perhaps John Bear can verify? Anyway, no flames please. I thought this would be useful information to those looking at DL Law degrees and the *saratoga* LL.M. end run to be eligible for the bar in States other than California. I did this research because I am looking at DL...

Online University of Maryland Online Vs U of Phoenix?
I'm looking for an entirely online BS program in MIS or CIS and I'm looking at UoP or UoM. Apparently University of Phoenix has been doing distance education longer and has a much more slick and streamlined program that is likely to go smoothly. U of Maryland is new to distance education and my have a clunky and experimental online education pilot program. Anyone have anything else to add? I will look at other schools, but I won't be interested in any programs like Regents Coll...

MS of Software Engineering/University of Maryland/Thoughts?
I've been thinking about graduate school, particularly getting a Masters in Software Engineering. First of all, I'm not entirely sure it is worth it - I mean, would a MS in Comp Sci be better? Secondly, I'm limited in where I would take in - Washington, DC and surrounding area. First of all, does anyone have any thoughts on the value of the MS of S/E or MS of Comp Sci? I'm currently a computer consultant, I guess you would consider me mid-level in my career. How valuable woul...

University Of Maryland Dental School, Dental Schools
I'm a Junior at Lehigh University (doing well), and I'm applying to dental soon, rather shortly. I've already taken my DAT's and did well on those also. So far I'll be applying to: University Of Connecticut University of Maryland at Baltimore Boston University Medical Center Harvard School of Dental Medicine Tufts University Creighton University University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey Columbia University New York University State University of New York at Bu...

University Of Law School, Concord University
I've read through many of the past threads regarding Concord University. I am still considering an education there since it really is the only option given my financial and time constraints. For me there is really no other way to go to law school. The alternative is to not pursue it at all. If there is little value in graduating from Concord (I live in NJ)then I would choose not to pursue. I would love to hear any opinions from this group. If there are current Concord or oth...

University Of Houston Law School, Working in Law School
As a VERY POOR law student facing the daunting tuition fees of the University of Michigan, I have found out to my utmost surprise(yea right), that I think I will need to work about 10-15 hours a week to have some money. Is this feasable. Most teachers and councilors say never to work while going to law school, HOWEVER, I have met alot of students who do work and are successfull at law school. Are the councilor statements just overrated like my H.S. councilors who said I wouldn't be ...

University Of Detroit Dental School, Michigan Dental Schools
