Uhh... Fisk? You can't use normal calculations that people are accustommed to to calculate Calculus problems. It takes a fair amount of work in your head. Either that, or a REALLY advanced Calculator. And even with that, you're not allowed to use it on the tests.

True math takes a fair bit more than the usage of calculators. You'll know what I'm talking about in a couple years.

I know it takes more than a calculator, but... I could've sworn that it was Calculus that is mostly calculator work... it's probably another branch of arithmetic. ^^;

Either way, memorizing formulas would still help. It doesn't matter what mathematics class you're taking, that always helps.

Geez, you hit the bullseye Wyndisis.  I live in Toledo.  Rather, a suburb of Toledo.

Whoa, that's kind of creepy...  Oh well, probably just a lucky guess.  Toledo was the only city I could find in northwest Ohio; the rest was all farmland.

Whoa! If you're going to MSU, DW, then you're not that far from where I live! ;)

Wow, it's been over a year since I posted this topic, and I am still going to community college.  That is so depressing.  But in any event, I have an update.  In August I applied to Michigan State to enroll in the Spring semester and they still haven't made a decision.  I was kinda freaking out so I applied to a safety school, Northern Michigan University, which also has a zoology program.  They accepted me in a heart-beat, so apparently it isn't very competative.  I don't know why they made it so easy to get in.  Either they have lower standards or they just can't find anyone who wants to freeze to death in Marquette.

Hoo, boy. I got accepted not too long ago myself.

Maybe we'll see each other on campus in the future? :P

[Darth Wyndisis]

Into MSU?  Did they take forever to decide to let you in?

[Gamefreak]

I'm getting money together right now for Community College.  I'll probably have it by the time payments come around.

As for me, I'm pretty set on a political science major.

[MagmarFire]

Into MSU?  Did they take forever to decide to let you in?

Yes to the former, and no to the latter. I think I applied...maybe three weeks ago?

[Fishalicious]

I haven't applied to colleges yet, but that's going to be coming up next year- and I'm going to be applying for scholarships like mad this next semester.

[alical]

I think I still have two years before applying for universities,  but if I want to have any sort of chance of getting into Oxbridge it might have to be earlier. 
But I need back up because I doubt I'll even get through the interview process D=
I'll have debt for like 15 years but it's worth it, I'll just dig around for every bursary possible.
I can't wait to go to uni!

That was fast.  They say all over their website that it typically takes 8-12 weeks to make a decision.  It's been over 12 weeks for me.  Maybe it's because I applied for the Spring semester as opposed to Fall.  And it's not like I'm that bad of a student either, I mean, I have a 3.94 GPA and will have 60+ credits once the semester is over.

[MagmarFire]

Still, it might've been longer. I kind of dismiss these things from my memory when I don't need them.

[Darth Wyndisis]

So, I checked online yesterday and they said they made a decision (but not what it was).  The message also said that they mailed a letter to me, and that it would take 7-10 business days for me to get it.  Why?   It's not like I live that far away from there.

[MagmarFire]

Eh, postage. Can't fight it, it seems.
