I’m a home schooled SOPHOMORE, planning on going to college for premed. I would like to major in either Neurobiology or Psychology and minor in Women’s Studies.
I’m wondering if I have a chance at school like U. of Michigan – Ann Arbor, U. of Wisconsin – Madison, U. of Maryland – College Park, UNC – Chapel Hill, Johns Hopkins, UW- Seattle, Tufts, UCONN, U. of Rochester, etc. What do you think??
Classes I’ve taken/will be taking (9th and 10th grade):
•Anatomy and Physiology, Nutrition, Health, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Physical Science, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Trigonometry, U.S. History, Advanced World History, Debate, Human Geography, Biology, Advanced Psychology, Chemistry, Grammar, Grammar and Composition, Vocabulary, Keyboarding/computer, Format Writing, Writing, World/English Literature, Introduction to Geography, Consumer Math, Medical Terminology (online and textbook), Art, Anthropology, Advanced Macroeconomics, Ancient Latin, German language, German history and culture•
Extracurricular Activities:
Since I want to go to medical school, I volunteer at the hospital, shadow a doctor, tutor kids at an elementary school, library (work with the little kids), YFU, cancer advocate (team captain), Habitat for Humanity (during the summer), dance, take pilates and yoga, I’m in a German club, Knitting club, and book club which I founded.
FACTS:
4.0 unweighted GPA.
PLAN (preliminary ACT) score was 30 out of 32.
I’m also in the National Home School Society (like the National Honor Society)! (:
Over the summer in between Sophomore and Junior year (summer 2010) I’ll be taking a couple courses at my local Community College to become a certified Phlebotomist and will be working in a funeral home as an assistant. I will also have a job as a waitress.
BTW: Just so you know, I live an a very small town, I can NOT take AP classes where I live (they only offer 3 at the Board of Ed. And the tests are over 3 hours away!) but by the time a graduate I will have taken Honors Biology, Honors Chemistry, Honors Physics, Honors Pre-Calculus, Honors Calculus, and Honors German language.
Thanks for all your opinions and advice! I will pick a Best Answer. (:
The problems with applying as a home schooler are that you have no class rank and your GPA will be taken with a grain of salt. The CC classes are going to be what they consider seriously.
Many find it difficult to make a distinction between fibromyalgia, also known as FM, and chronic fatigue syndrome, particularly because the symptoms of both illnesses are very similar. Even doctors and experts, up until now, cannot definitely say if CFS, short for chronic fatigue syndrome, and FM are two different diseases with like symptoms, separate aspects of one disorder, or two completely distinct illnesses.
Issues surrounding fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome became even murkier after an FM/CFS expert released his findings in a National Fibromyalgia Association publication in September 2002. According to the findings of Dr. Charles W Lapp, around 70% of people suffering from FM also qualify for CFS, and about the same percentage of CFS sufferers also manifest symptoms of FM.
Definition of FM and CFS
Fibromyalgia is a condition characterized by chronic musculoskeletal aches (particularly in tender points such as spine, neck, hips and shoulders), insomnia, and fatigue. Although it is unclear what causes such a disease, it is believed that lack of nutrition and problems with the hypothalamic and immune functions could exacerbate or trigger the syndrome.
Chronic fatigue syndrome, on the other hand, is characterized by severe fatigue, experienced during not less than six months. Sufferers of CFS also experience muscle and joint pains, sore throat, non-restive sleep, and general malaise after performing physical activities. Sometimes, especially after a strenuous activity, CFS patients display temporary concentration, cognitive and memory lapses.
Similarities between chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia syndrome
As mentioned earlier, the two conditions share quite a number of similar symptoms. If you think you are suffering from one of such illnesses, you need to consult several doctors. A physician whose expertise is in infectious disease might see your symptoms as chronic fatigue syndrome, while a pain and rehabilitation doctor could look at your symptoms as FM.
Most common indications or symptoms of both FM and CFS sufferers are joint and muscular pain, severe fatigue, inability to concentrate, memory lapses, numbness, malaise, and weakness. Meanwhile, clinical likeness of the two includes non-restive sleep or insomnia, lowering of growth hormone and serotonin levels, and diminished blood flow in certain parts of the brain.
Aside from having similar symptoms, both diseases are also more common in women than men. In FMS, women are about eight times more susceptible than men. Both diseases also occur more often in adults than in children.
Differences between CFS and FM
Although patients of both illnesses suffer muscle pain and fatigue, the degree or severity of the two symptoms will help distinguish chronic fatigue syndrome sufferers from fibromyalgia patients. People who experience predominantly debilitating fatigue suffer from CFS, while those whose main symptom is chronic pain in joints and muscles have FM. Another stark difference is that CFS is prompted or initiated by an infectious illness, such as influenza. On the hand, FM is usually triggered by injury, surgery, accident, or a type of physical trauma.
How CFS and FM are diagnosed?
Unlike in certain illnesses where laboratory, blood and x-ray findings help determine the disease, both FM and CFS can only be determined through medical history and clinical findings. If you feel that you are suffering from either one of the diseases, you should be more precise in describing what you are feeling. It is important to tell everything to your doctor, even the minutest discomfort or changes in your body, because these little things will be a great help in diagnosing the disease.
Managing FM and CFS
Since there is no known drug that could cure fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome, doctors usually concentrate on treating the symptoms or the triggers or causes of the conditions. Given that there is no definite cure for both illnesses, the best that you can do, if you suffer from CFS, FM or both, is to manage the disease. Here are some tips that could help you:
Know your illness
The first thing you should do, when diagnosed with either of the two conditions, is to research and learn as much as you can about your condition. It would be easier for you and your doctor to communicate and discuss the disease and possible treatment plans or options, if you have a certain degree of knowledge about the disease. The Internet, local libraries and journals and magazines can help you with learning more about FM and CFS.
Eat healthy and have plenty of rest
It is very important for people who suffer from both CFS and FM to eat a well-balanced diet, particularly because some diseases can trigger them. Furthermore, some types of food could exacerbate your symptoms, like too much caffeine could make it difficult for you to sleep well. Adequate rest and sleep could also help alleviate some symptoms, like depression, stress and non-restive sleep.
Laugh and have fun
Stress and depression can only make matters worse. Thus, you need to be happy more often. Remember, that sometimes laughter is the best medicine.

Business, any business, is about making money, right?
You’re in business to make money – it’s a great thing. There is absolutely no reason to have a business unless you’re in business to make money. You need it to live on, to make the world a better place and yes, to have fun. Even if you’re a non-profit organization – your goal is to make money and then spend it on your organization’s mission. Adding a membership site to your current business is a great way to increase that bottom line and make more money.
<b>So how do membership sites make money?</b>
First and foremost your members will be a captive audience. Better than a lead list, your members have proven they’re interested, they’ve practically committed themselves to being loyal customers. That means each and every new product or service you offer is going to have a stronger conversion rate with your members. In addition to being able to sell your product and services to a focused group of people, your members, you’re now able to profit off of the subscription income.
While many membership sites are free, some make millions of dollars annually just off of subscriptions. Subscriptions can also come in different levels. You can structure your membership site to offer free memberships and allow access to a portion of your site, silver level memberships and access to a little bit more of the site, gold memberships, and platinum memberships that allow access to your entire site. This way you’re appealing to all income levels and all levels of commitment.
Plus, when you offer different levels of membership, you can market to each segment differently. You can create high end products geared specifically for the customers that you know can afford it and appreciate it. And you can offer incentives to upgrade!
Whether you charge for membership like Match.com or if you offer membership for free like YouTube, the opportunity to profit is huge.
<b>Multiple Streams of Income</b>
Once you have a membership site up and running you will have the opportunity to generate multiple streams of income. You can sell affiliate products, make money from AdSense and advertising sales, and you can profit by selling information. Information in the form of books, reports, audio recordings, video recordings, tutorials, workshops, seminars…the sky is the limit. You can sell private label rights information.
<b>A Billion Dollar Exit Plan.</b>
Did you know that you can sell your membership site for a profit? YouTube did it for 1.65 billion dollars. Yep –billion. Do you need an extra billion?
The opportunity to make money with your membership site is limitless. There are so many amazing opportunities there’s no reason not to add it to your business model today.
<b>What business are you in?</b>
The truth is that you don’t have to have a business up and running to start a profitable membership site – but you do need a market. In fact, you need a highly targeted market that wants the information that your membership site will provide. It’s a very unprofitable idea to start a membership site without any initial target market or demand research.
Here are a few tips to find a niche if you’re just getting started:
First, consider what you like to do, what you’re interested in, and what you’re good at. This can be ANYTHING! If you’re passionate about organic gardening then begin researching that niche. If you love tropical aquariums then research that niche. If you have years of experience as a weight loss counselor then you have a niche, if you have years of experience helping people organize their lives, fix their cars, train their birds, or choose software for their businesses, then you have a niche. Research it!
Consider a sub-niche:
With so many markets over saturated and being so highly competitive, it makes sense to carve of a sub-niche within a niche and to try to dominate that sub-niche.
Here is a quick example of a sub niche:
Children’s Health: This is a fairly general term. A few sub-niches of this term might be nutrition, diabetes, weight loss for children, meal planning for busy children, nutrition for children with special needs like allergies – those are sub-niches of Children’s health which are more targeted. I’m sure you can come up with even better, more targeted ones.
Sub-niches are important not only for getting to the top of the search engine results but also for effectively communicating with your target market. Think about it for a minute; if you’re targeting a huge group of people who want to feed their kids better, how do you relate to all of them at once? Do you talk to them as parents of overweight children, parents of children with illness, or busy single parents?
You can’t do it. You can’t effectively communicate with a group of people who are all very different and have very different needs. By zeroing in on your niche market you can speak directly to your target market and solve the needs of that group. You can communicate effectively with them, know what offers to make to them, and ultimately make more sales.
In the next section, we’ll talk about researching your market. For many research is the drudgery of being an online marketer but if you look at it like a challenge, a challenge to see just how much money you can make, then market research becomes exhilarating.
