| shady117 asks: |
| do colleges really not look at your freshman year |
|
| adam32m says: |
| No, they look at your freshman year. They look at several things, and different colleges place more emphasis on different things, but they look at everything as a whole. Freshman year is important in two ways; first it shows how well you performed, and also how you progressed from your freshmen year. |

| Katy88 asks: |
| I'm applying to colleges. I wanted to know: A lot of colleges that I'm applying to have unlimited meal plans. I'm worried that I'll make a pig of myself if I get one. Should I take a lesser meal plan, even if there's a risk I'll run out of meals, and have to use money for it? |
|
| adam32m says: |
| I am one of the few people I know that have the max amount of mealplans. I like being able to eat 3 meals a day, but for most people that is either too many meals. It all depends on how often you eat. |

| Colleges will still accept you. You don't need a major right away, some schools allow you to be undecided for 2 years. |

| Vaprincess011 asks: |
| Me and my friends have been thinking about college since, forever. We have already decided to go to Gerogia State University, and everything. That we would be in the same dorm. But the time to go to college is becoming oloser and closer and i am starting to feel that me and my friends want be able to attend the same college, and if we do, how will be in the same dorm? it is all to confusing, because i can't be without them! help! |
|
| adam32m says: |
| You can request roommates. I have seen rooming with your best friends turn out badly more often than it working. College is a time when people will change a lot, you need to be open with each other on those things. If you don't go to the same school, it is still possible to remain friends. |

|
| adam32m says: |
| if you don't get into a college, you can get into a community college for two years and transfer into a bigger school. If you do well this year college's will notice and they will accept you. |

| arukab asks: |
| okay i`m still a freshmen so I know its early for me to be worrying about college but still.
My current career dream is so become a plastic surgeonist.
Yes yes, i know its alot of hard work.
Well a questions thats been bothering me is that if you go to a public or private school will that effect what college you get into?
Like i've been a private schoolie all my life, but i think im going to a public school when i move to san francisco.
So im scared, should i go to public, private, or college prep? or does it even matter?
=/ im so confused. |

| adam32m says: |
| It doesn't matter that much. |
