your delusions of grandeur weren't far enough along to merit the discussion.

though I would always opt for porn. keeping in mind of course that as a male, you get paid a lot more for gay porn.

I've heard that!

As far as your "Bio" goes....What's up with that?? It took you seventeen years to come up with those honors. A cut below some of us around here.
Are you well known???

I will always be a cut below certain people here....

Oh wait....they're not mine, they're Hossy's.

KRIM, because you value Chris Mccarron so much, I'll give you my honest answer(s) to your question.

1. Does your BF live in GA? If he does, get a phone line installed at his house under your name, and try to establish other types of bills that you would have to pay for there. Have them mailed to you at his address.

2. Who really cares about what school you go to? I mean, really, do you think that because one college is more prestigious than another that the curriculum will be more difficult, challenging, better, etc? It's all nonsense, and the sooner you realize that the better off you will be.

3. Go with what makes you happiest.

Me? I like reliving bad rides from the 80s.

I have decided to go to veterinarian school ...

However, with all of the requirements for admissions to NC State's veterinarian college (400 hours of volunteer service at 3 different veterinarain practices + 5 courses that I will not have upon graduating UNC)

Okay, let learn the proper terminology for your desired future profession :

It's "veterinary" school, not "veterinarian" school (DocICU, did you go to "doctor" school? ) - more properly a College of Veterinary Medicine; and it's "veterinary" college, and "veterinary practices".

You will not be invited to participate if that is the way you write it in your admissions application essay

What I would do: make an appointment as soon as possible with an admissions counselor at the nearest vet school - more than one if necessary. Usually these folks are in the Dean's office working with the admissions committee.

They will review your current bonafides to date (yes, they meet with many students who are currently undergraduate juniors), where you fit now in the applicant pool, and advise you on what you will need to do over the next year or few to make your application as solid as it can be.

These people are extremely helpful. Their job is to help you gain entry into professional school. Use them. They know what it takes to be admitted.

I have decided to go to veterinarian school after I get my BS Biology degree (took me long enough to come to this realization). I want to become an equine DVM/PhD, and, essentially, it is what I have been geared to do for my entire life. I don't know why I was fighting it so much, and I had to make a decision because I was running out of time.

However, with all of the requirements for admissions to NC State's veterinarian college (400 hours of volunteer service at 3 different veterinarain practices + 5 courses that I will not have upon graduating UNC) (this also sucks because I am well-known throughout the state), there is no way that I can fullfill them since I am late in my junior year. UGA seems like the best option since they do not have near the requirements, and since my boyfriend lives about 2 hours away from that campus. I am very confident that I could get into UGA with my past credentials and experience with the horses in combination with my GPA. I just have to do well on the GRE.

UGA gives preference to in-state students in addition to the difference between paying 33,000 a year and 12,000 a year (out of state vs. in state). Needless to say, I would need to establish in-state residency before attending. Wesleyan College is currently only 10 minutes away from my bf's place. It is an all-girl's school, and only has 700 students. It is a private institution, and only costs 16,500 a year to attend (not including other expenses). UNC costs about 16,000 total with dorm and other expenses a year. 100% of the students receive some type of financial aid at Wesleyan, and I am eligible for quite a few large academic scholarships. It has an equestrian team, and pre-veterinary curriculum, but so does UNC. However, Wesleyan is not UNC-Chapel Hill academic wise. I feel as if I wouldn't be challenged, and would breeze through that college. I am doing well at Chapel Hill GPA wise, and I really love the college (although I don't like the size of the classes and the impersonal nature or being away from my bf). I also don't think that all of my courses would transfer into Wesleyan, but I'm not sure how private institutions work when it comes to transferring credits. It the end, it's all about the cost of college and the GPA.

So, my question is this: Would you stay at the more lucrative and prestigious college of UNC-Chapel Hill, and work in GA for a year to establish residency in the state before going to UGA, or would you go to Wesleyan, a college that might be a little bit more expensive that UNC, so that you could go straight into vet school?

There are people chomping at the bit right now because I am considering giving up my seat at Chapel Hill so that they have a better chance of being accepted. Even if I do go to Wesleyan, it will never compare to that college. I will always be a Tarheel, but I have to make the most strategic and cost-efficient decision. I have time to decide, but I would still like other's opinions.

i'd continue posting these difficult questions until everyone is suitably impressed.

then, late at night, i'd curl into a fetal position and weep because it's just not enough.

Well, we can't have that...

I have decided to quit my job as an Investment Associate and become a Doctor just so I can make sure you're freaked out for the future.

No need to put all that effort into becoming a doctor.....you in a nurses aid position could cause enough anxiety...
