USA High School System
USA High School System?
Can anyone tell me about high school in USA, if I were to attend high school in USA, does it mean I'll start attending college when I'm 19? How well do I have to do to get into UC Berkeley?

You usually graduate from high school when you are 18 and then enter college at 18. Assume to get into UC Berkeley that you have to get the highest grades in the hardest subjects that the high school offers. You can't go wrong with that formula. Oh, and take debate class, preferably in 9th grade and every year thereafter. Very very useful life skill is taught in that class. You may have to argue your way into UC - Berkeley and the practice you get in debate class will be invaluable then!

You would start attending college when you graduate from high school, which generally happens sometime between the ages of 17 and 19 (when exactly depends upon into which class you would be placed when you moved here). UC Berkeley is a very selective school, and you would have to do very well to be admitted there.
3 :
U.S. high schools are usually 4 years (grades 9-12 with students usually entering 9th grade at age 14-15 and graduating high school after completing the 12th grade at age 17-18). There is no particular advantage to attending high school in the U.S. if you remain on a student visa; students on visas will have to apply to UC schools as international students regardless of where they attended high school. If you are able to obtain permanent residence to the U.S., then attending high school in California will qualify you to apply as an in-state applicant where you will receive priority consideration (against out-of-state and international applicants) and the benefit of lower tuition fees. To prepare for UC schools (including Berkeley), you should complete the a-g requirements (ask your counselor for the approved courses at your California high school or check online at http://www.ucop.edu/doorways/ ), study and do well in your high school courses and standardized tests (SAT and/or ACT, and SAT II), take as many honors and/or AP courses as you can handle, participate in educational preparation programs available at your high school (see a list on my blog), and commit to one or two extracurricular activities in which you develop leadership skills (more is not better, quality is better than quantity). UCs (including Berkeley) will weigh the following components of your application (in the order of importance): 1) your essay (Berkeley publishes a guideline on how to write your personal statement at: http://students.berkeley.edu/files/Admissions/Personal_State_07.pdf ) about your academic achievement, talent or extracurricular activities that highlight your motivation, dedication, and/or initiative to achieve, your potential to contribute to the university, and any special circumstances like hardship; 2) your grades and any grade trends (improvements are better than just maintaining a high GPA); 3) your test scores, including SAT and/or ACT, SAT II; and 4) number of AP courses completed compared to the number of AP courses offered at your high school. Other factors are taken into consideration, but to a lesser extent.

whats the best vet school in usa
whats the best vet school in usa?
im 14 and im trying to think about going to vet school and i was wondering which one is the best vet school besides uc davis .....

uc davis maybe ohio state

In eight years you may be admitted to one of the approximately 28 vet schools in the US if you have a top college record, veterinary clinic or animal care experience, top test scores, etc. At all of them you will receive a fine education. Most pre-vet students apply to over twelve vet schools and are lucky to be accepted by one of them. It is not usually a question of choosing a "better" one and where you attend will seldom affect your practice unless you want to do research rather than primary care. Tufts University has one of the best research programs.
3 :
Cornell has a great vet school, and it's one of the ivys that's a little bit easier to get into. If you start now, you might be able to get in! Good luck!
4 :
That's really not something you should be asking. There are only 28 vet schools in the entire country. They are all excellent, have very high standards and are extremely competitive. You don't necessarily choose your vet school, rather they choose you. Most schools have some sort of residency requirements. They accept X number of in-state residents and X number of out of state. In most cases, in-state students have more seats than out of state. In some cases, schools have contracts with other states to offer them seats. As a result of this some schools (Davis for example) are impossible to get into unless you meet the residency requirements. You need to find out (and you have plenty of time) if there is a vet school in your state and if not is there one that your state has a contract with. If neither is true, then look at those schools that accept a fairly high number of out of state students. Bottom line here is that all vet schools are excellent programs and you will have no better job prospects by going to UC Davis than by going to Kansas State.

Cornell. Ivy league vet school.
