Answer by Lux et Veritas et Veritas
I went to one called Center for Talented Youth (CTY), which is hosted by Johns Hopkins in the US (with several sites in different states), and has a sister site in Dublin, Ireland.

I learned a lot there, and worked hard but also played hard. There were classes in the mornings, and fun activities in the afternoons, plus special events, shopping trips, etc. on weekends.

They have courses in many different fields (including both business/finance and psychology, which you listed).

I ended up going to college at Yale after finishing high school, and I met a lot of other students at Yale who had been to CTY as high school students. We all agreed that it had been a great experience.

Answer by amsmithatc
Take a look at the United States Sports Academy… www.ussa.edu
They are located in Daphne, AL and are accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools

Check them out, I have several friends who have got their masters degree though them, and I am about to start my masters in sports medicine.

Good Luck!

Q&A: What are some Grad Schools in NY that fit my low gpa?

Question by la solitudine me: What are some Grad Schools in NY that fit my low gpa?
Ok, I’ll admit that my undergrad career is horrible to begin with. I’m looking for graduate schools in New York metropolitan area that fit my stats (match/reach).

I just finished up my last semester. Coming from a top 100 school. Psychology B.A. major.

GPA: Two of my other grades are not up yet, but if worse comes worst, I might end up with a 2.98 instead of 3.00 cumulative. I know it’s very low for a psych major.

I had a semester of Research, a semester of Independent Research.

I plan to take a year off to work as an R.A in a school before I apply for Fall 09′ admissions.

I have some C’s in my psych career.

I am wondering if I will have a chance at all to get into Masters program for General psychology or School psychology.

So far I’m thinking about Cuny hunter, St. John, and New School for Social Research (perhaps none of these will take me?). Are there any other suggestions?

I will practice the GRE and then take it in October this year.
no I have 1 C in my psych every semester. I just don’t know how to play with the hard teacher’s games. But I did well in 300/400 level courses, just not the 100/200 level requirements (which I didn’t take until junior/senior year because most of the 300/400 does not have a prerequisite). If that’s a total turn off for grad schools..
I mean I got the Cs for the 200 level courses.

Stanford University? DO I have a Chance?

Question by Marie: Stanford University? DO I have a Chance?
(You dont have to answer all the questions just answer what you can and thank you its apreciated)

I want to go to Stanford University to become a psychiatrist and major in psychology. Because one of the ways to become a psychiatrist is to go to medical school and then get certified by the board. SO ultimately I want to get into Stanford medical school (plus I am highley interested in other medical things besides psychology).

In 7th grade my GPA was 3.63 and in 8th grade it was still above 3.0
I am now currently a Freshman I was in a normal public school for the 1st half of the year I was in all honors courses, and I made the basketball team too (That would be my third year of being on my schools basket ball team two of which where higher level teams).
But for the second half of the year I am now in what’s called Roads Advanced Academics Which is online high school courses (I did this for personal family reasons). And I was wondering how this could affect my chances of getting into Stanford? Currently my GPA is some where around 3.0 to 3.36 (I plan on increasing it in the years from here on out)

These courses are the same curriculum taught in normal high schools and you have to take all the same required tests and reach all the required credits to graduate (sometimes they offer honors classes but its rare). Since I am involved in this program I will graduate up to a year earlier than I would have in public high school, and I plan on graduating with an Advanced State Diploma, the normal diploma is 22.5 credits and you just have to pass required curriculum

The Advanced diploma is 24 credits with required curriculum plus 1 extra credit in a higher math and another in a higher science class, (Stanford likes bilingual people so foreign languages are a must that I’m trying to get). I will be about 17 maybe 17 ½ when I should be eligible to graduate.
If the schedule I have works out ideally it will look like this
Freshman:
0.5 English I A
0.5 English I B
0.5 World Geography A
0.5 World Geography B
0.5 Algebra I A
0.5 Algebra I B
0.5 Biology A
0.5 Biology B
0.5 P.E. (basket ball class + team)
0.5 Life Skills
0.5 Computer lit. A
Total: 5.5 (Currently the only class I have left to take here is Biology IB)
Sophomore:
0.5 English II A
0.5 English II B
0.5 World History A
0.5 World History B
0.5 Geometry A
0.5 Geometry B
0.5 Earth Science A
0.5 Earth Science B
1.5 Elective (IA and IB foreign language) plus (Computer lit B)
Total: 5.5
Jr.:
0.5 English III A
0.5 English III B
0.5 American History A
0.5 American History B
0.5 Algebra II A
0.5 Algebra II B
0.5 Trigonometry
0.5 Chemistry A
0.5 Chemistry B
1.5 Elective (IIA IIB Foreign language) plus (Graphic Design)
1.0 PE (Tae Kwan Do)
Total: 7
Senior:
0.5 English IV A
0.5 English IV B
0.5 United States Government A
0.5 United States Government B
0.5 Economics
0.5 Calculus A
0.5 Calculus B
0.5 Physical Science A
0.5 Physical Science B
1.0 Elective (Career & Technology Skills A & B)
0.5 PE (Tae Kwan Do)
Total:
Grand Total: 24 credits = Advanced Diploma

What can I do to raise my chances? Is this good enough? Do I even stand a chance? More comuniety service? Get a Job? (Which I cant do until I am older) Is it possiable to go to another college for the basics and then enter Stanford for medical school? Would that depleat some eligabiliety for scholarships?
All the As and Bs next to the classes are not my grades for the classes those are the names of the classes because each class is usualy divided into part A and Part B

As for my Current grades I have
A in English I A and IB
A in World Geo IA and IB
C in Algebra IA and IB
B in Biology IB
B in Computer litrature part A
A in PE

Im only a freshman the rest I havent taken yet

Answer by eri
A psychiatrist has an MD (that’s the only way to become a psychiatrist), a psychologist has a PhD or PsyD. You don’t have to attend Stanford for undergrad to get into Stanford for med school; most people will not.

Colleges don’t look at any grades before 9th grade. Stanford is very competitive, turning down hundreds of 4.0 students, perfect SAT scorers, and valedictorians every year. You have way too many B’s to have a shot at Stanford – you need to get mostly A’s to even be competitive, and then you need to find some way to stand out from the crowd.

Drawing on ideas from both social and cognitive psychology, he will shed light on this relatively neglected aspect of the crisis. This lecture was delivered at the Association of Yale Alumni Reunion Weekend on June 5, 2009.
