My GPA was 3.67 but they were looking for 3.7 and up - can't change that - and my test score was not high enough to be a "shoe-in".
OK. Well I guess you are on the right track then. Gettin in teh field as a paralegal will certainly increase your chances.
Best of Luck on that.

Here, we use both terms interchangeably. We often use the term "university" when specifying the name of the college.

For example:
RRS to Alex: "So Alex...what are your plans for the next year or so?".
Alex to RRA: "Aaaahm.. I have decided to go back to college"
RRS to Alex; "Oh, thats great. And what college are you planning on attending"
Alex to RRS: "Uuuh..University of ETJ"

Re: Going back to school, but for what?

I know you use them interchangably in the US.
We use them seperate. Colleges are like trade schools here. Universities are considered of an academic nature. College here - mechanic, paralegal, etc. University: BA,BSC, etc.
I think it's awesome Alex! I get bored easily too. I am so ready for a change!

Yeah. I have had a life-long fascination for things philosophical by nature. Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology...Anything and everything that makes us question Who we are, Why we are the way we ara nd why we do the things we do. I just can't get enough of it.

LOL!!! LOL!!! U know what Alex...I plead the 5th.....I started to mention that in my post. Naw they tend to have always moved on from me.....I was too good for them so a couple said or they wanted the fun gyal in me yet not the commitment. In essence they did not want to put the work in that is required in a meaningful relationship.
