Thanks guys, looks like I'll have another publication under my belt before graduation! I'd definitely want people to know I wrote this, that's why I asked.

Hey everyone, I'm planning on writing a white paper for an internship. Is this something that can go under the non-peer reviewed section of my CV? The topic is as relavant to my studies as can be(higher ed). Just thought I'd ask here. I'm not too well versed in writing white papers/professional reports.

Hey guys, Any thoughts on Georgia Tech's MSPP program? I understand many haven't heard of this program, but it's a masters in public policy program that focuses on science and technology. I'm interested in studying tech-based economic development, technology transfer, university-industry partnerships and science and technology policy. http://www.spp.gatech.edu/academics/ms-curriculum

Same here! Any PMs/posts would be great!

Hi guys, I recently changed my major from the sciences to political science. I am aspiring to apply to higher ed masters programs after graduation. Can someone give me general GPA averages or assumed averages for higher ed admin programs? I'm looking at top schools. Everything else is steller, GPA is my only concern. Also, how big of a factor would withdrawn courses play on application? I'm thinking about withdrawing from two courses that I no longer need or want(due to major change). I'm involved in other things that I would like to put my time into. Since these two science courses will not bring me any closer to graduation, I don't see the need in them..but it will drop my course load considerably - I'm already part-time with one drop.

How do grad schools, engineers and employers see a biological engineering degree with a biomedical focus from a top 10 biological(agricultural) engineering school? Simple, broad question.

Can someone please help?

I don't know... I just spent all of today really soul searching. I considered careers in environmental engineering or biological engineering, but I concluded that it wasn't worth the delayed graduation and all the math. I'm not that good at math..if I wind up physically being unable to do it then I'm screwed. I'll never get through the program and if I do, I won't be able to make a good engineer. I'm analytical and creative, but I'm not a math wizz. I was thinking I could do a 5 year DDS/MS program. That seems to be enough to break into dental faculty. Then depending on life events and interests, I might start climbing the ranks by going back to school, doing more research etc. I'm scared of commitment. I don't know if what I feel is a breath of curiocity or a deep passion. I guess I'll have to figure out out. Keep the opinions coming though. These stories really help.

Omg I have to finish in 4 years. I'm going to deflate my school's graduation rate T_T

Hello everyone, I am a current 2nd year undergraduate biology student. I am pre-dental, but I am now exploring my options. Can anyone familiar with these programs please tell me what the difference is between the two? I have done a fair amount of research, but I haven't come up with too much just yet. What is the job prospects for these two professions? Avg salary and starting salary? An interesting question, what level of math is used in these fields? Is there a lot of field work? How does it compare to traditional engineering? Also, I am transferring from my current school next fall. I could either go to Georgia Tech or University of Georgia(both in-state tuition, plus scholarship) It's risky, because I lose a lot if I go to Tech for environmental engineering. I am a bio major, and I'm quite behind on the maths. I will likely end up delaying graduation by a semester anyways. If I choose to do dental school, then I'll be screwed with a dismal GPA and crappy undergraduate biology program. Tech doesn't have biological engineering and UGA's program is ranked 11th in the nation. On the other hand, UGA's college of engineering is brand new. They just formed in 2012. The biological & agricultural engineering degrees have been offered and accredited for sometime, but I wonder the perception of the program as a whole. I also know that UGA is pretty good for ecology and plant biology...would a new engineering program be a significant hinderance? Furthermore, I have dedicated all my time and resources to the pre-dental biology track(wanted to do DMD/PhD or DMD/MS). I have amazing ECs but they're all pre-health related(I was pre-pharmacy before) Biological engineering has so-so job prospects according to BLS Environmental engineering has decent job prospects according to BLS Most people say BLS is useless. Any advice? http://www.engr.uga.edu/degrees/b-s-in-biological-engineering http://www.engr.uga.edu/degrees/environ_bs Here are my potential programs.

New Grad school rankings coming March 15th. Just a PSA

Helpful, thanks

Can my high school voters please share their story? That's incredible that you knew what you wanted in high school let alone a PhD

Any advice for someone who may have to go an extra summer or semester..

Hey all, I am a current biology undergraduate student. I have a long history that I have posted elsewhere on this forum, but my question is what have most of you majored in during undergrad while wanting to go to grad school in higher education administration, educational psychology etc. I am considering a possible grad school route in education, but I'm not sure if my current major is suited for that route.
