Couldn't agree more, don't throw a curve ball at the advisors, this is not high school, if you have concerns, get straight to it, they don't have time for this guessing game. Besides, you are an adult that is capable of making your own decisions, if you told the advisor you want to transfer, he/she will respect that. Ydi

amen to that :)

how do you know she did ANY of that?

well if they didn't do any of that and are still failing, school isn't for them. sometimes tough love is the best.

Homework in college isn't generally graded, it's more for just your own benefit of learning how to do the material first hand rather than being graded yourself.

and homework in collage is harder, this is coming from a ninth grader

I too agree that making homework collages is harder. This is coming from a college junior.

*snicker* collage homework

I've never done a collage. This coming from a biochemistry major.

Seriously?!? It's c-o-l-l-E-g-e... This is coming from someone who knows how to SPELL.

homework is college isnt graded? phew, dodged a bullet there

57- Despite being an obviously distinguised speller, your sarcasm detector is missing a few bolts. Or maybe it's the operator that's missing a few. I'm a biology major myself, never made a collage in college either. Couldn't help myself though...

Well, while daily homework assignments might not be graded, things like term papers, tests, and quizzes are. Also, most of the time, it might be a LOT of work, but unless you're majoring in something like biochemistry (Hi BioChem Majors!) or calculus, it's not really DIFFICULT work. It's not hard to do research, and it's not hard to type up a paper. It might be time-consuming, yes, but difficult? It's not. The 8th grader has a point. It's not hard to be a student; it may not be just about homework, but the concept of studying and completing assignments to make a good grade is not hard. PS: This is coming from an English major. =)

73, obviously you don't know anything about other majors

"She didn't ask for a free grade, she asked advice on which school would be the best option for her given her current GPA. besides, even if she has screwed up thus far in HS, that doesn't mean she can't turn it around. " Go back to elementary school and learn to use pronouns properly.

To be honest, I didn't know that "they" wasn't an appropriate pronoun for third person, singular, of unknown gender until a couple months ago, and I'm in grade 12. I don't know very many people who -do- know this. Times are changing and "they" is becoming more acceptable.

So what pronoun are you supposed to use when referring to a single person of an unknown gender? I have tried looking it up online and so far the only real advice I've found is to write sentences like "He or she did it".

"He or she" would be correct, it just sounds messy, so I'm -pretty- sure you can just say "he." I assume people started replacing that with "they" because of the whole gender equality thing.

That and it probably takes forever if you have to have some kind of serious discussion about what the "he or she" did. Anyway, Thank you for the help.

Well, in this instance, we know that the OP is a girl, thus we know the proper pronoun to use, but, if the gender is unknown, this is what you say: He or she, as well as him or her. That/this person. (This person simply asked for advice or That person simply asked for advice.) To keep from being repetitive, though, I usually just stick to one gender - he. Some people won't do that because they think it's sexist, but it doesn't really matter.
