I plan on getting a bachelors in Respiratory Therapy. However I'm joining the Coast Guard as well. The program for the Coast Guard is called "College Student Pre-Commissioning Initiative" (CSPI.) The University of the District of Columbia is the only school that offers a Respiratory Therapy bachelors and the CSPI program as well.
I'm 19, grew up in New York, current GPA is a 3.7 and I have 1 more semester until I graduate with an Associates in Humanities, and planned on going to SUNY Stony Brook but found out the Coast Guard didn't offer the program there. So right now I'm stuck between Stony Brook or going to Washington DC where I've only been for 1 week out of my entire life! I loved it there!
Top Answer:
The University of DC (UDC) is NOT a particularly good school, sadly. While (barely) accredited, it continually has problems of one sort or another. About the only folks who attend UDC are folks who live in DC and have no other options.
I would not recommend attending UDC unless there is truly no other option.
On the other hand, SUNY Stony Brook is a high quality school that has a solid academic reputation. It has a nice campus with residential housing, a strong faculty, and no problems in keeping its accreditation.
im making a list of the top colleges that i want to go to for indoor and outdoor track and field bc i have to start sending out letters and videos and stuff and i have to kinda narrow it down a bit. ive heard alot about ivy league schools and im mostly interested in d1 and d2 schools tho, i have a d3 school on here also. i do have the qualifications for the d1 and d2. so out of these colleges which one would you prefer on your own opinion or own experiences, and do recommend any colleges that arent on this list..thanks so much guys!
so these are my picks:
-University of Miami
-Brown University
-Georgetown University
-Columbia University
-Princeton University
-University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
-University of the District of Columbia
-St. Lawrence University
-Utica College
and it doesnt matter the area, i do love city places but i also really wouldnt mind a quiet, rural place either, and as for major..im not completely sure, im only a junior haha, but i want to major in maybe law and forensics, and minor in maybe physical therapy..
Top Answer:
If your qualified academically then I would focus on the Ivy Leagues, Georgetown, Miami, and UNC.

Okay, basically, what I'm trying to figure out is will the community college I'm going to attend allow me to grasp all the general education requirements I'll need in order to transfer to a 4-year school. I'm going to be going CCDC (Community College of District of Columbia) and taking up Liberal Studies with a focus of Journalism. When I read how many credits I'd be able to get, it said I could get 32 credits for one year and 63 credits for two years. I get that part. Now, here's the confusing segment. I looked up one of the schools I'm thinking of transferring to, ASU (Arizona State University). Once admitted, I would be trying to get into the Walter Cronkite school, and I saw something that said I need 80 general education requirements and 40 requirements in the major. If I can only get 32 to 63 credits from the school I'm going to be attending, does that knock me out of having a chance of getting into the school. Or will they let me fulfill the remaining requirements once I get that after the one or two years? Same thing goes for another school I want to transfer too, NCCU (North Carolina Central University). They're saying that I need at least 6 semesters or 9 quarter hours transferable college credit. Again, would I be able to get this after one to two years at CCDC? Thank you!
Top Answer:
All community colleges and four year colleges expect you to take 60-64 credits over two years. This school (Cronkite) is going to require additional general education credits at the junior or senior level. These upper level courses need to be at the four year college and you are therefore fine.

Top Answer:
Columbia University, an Ivy League premier school, is highly selective and it's difficult to get accepted. Northwestern University is a "good" university, but is not one of the best. Keep this in mind for early decision, which can improve you chances at acceptance by 16%!
