I need help in my college application?

radiology — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 10:48:36 +0000

I applied at Houston Community College.
I already submitted my application and received an e-mail saying they have accepted it.
But I remember when I was filling out the application I put Performing and Visual Arts…thinking Photography fell into that category.
But it turns out it doesn’t.
And I was wondering if I could change my Program/Cluster thingy..because I accidentally put Preforming and Visual Arts.
Like, I really don’t want to get a certificate in Photography anymore….I want to major in Radiology.

I just turned 17 and was home-schooled and I know nothing about applying in colleges! I really need help.

This is what the e-mail said (My questions are in all caps) :

Dear Student:

We have received and accepted your application for admission to Houston Community College that you submitted via the applytexas.org website for the (Summer and Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 semesters).

As part of the process, you have selected a Program/Cluster, but you will also need to declare a specific major plan for your educational objective. Financial Aid students must complete this step before they can receive their award. (WHAT AWARD ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?) Other students (WHAT DO THEY MEAN BY OTHER STUDENTS? :/) are encouraged to use this link, http://imc02.hccs.edu/ccp/career-clusters.htm, to complete the Educational and Decision-Making Tool before the end of their first semester. You can print the final page and take to a campus to meet personally with a HCC counselor/advisor at any of the HCC centers to discuss your educational objectives, or email the form to online.ss@hccs.edu.
International students will need to go to the International Student Office at 3100 Main to complete their I-20 certification before proceeding.

To complete the admissions process, you will need to do the following:
Assessment, if applicable
• Send official transcripts for previous college work (transfer & transient students) (I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO ANY COLLEGE)
• Submit TSI test scores or Take TSI test
• Submit ACT, SAT or TAKS scores
Advising
• Meet with HCC counselor/advisor on campus or email on-line advisors at online.ss@hccs.edu to determine and enter pre-requisite groups
Orientation
• Attend a college orientation session if you have less than 15 hours
(Check with the college you will attend for times and locations)
Communication
• Record your HCC student ID number for your records. This number will be used for enrollment, accessing your grades, and all future enrollment services
• You will receive a HCC student email account after you make payment for your classes. HCC will use this email address for all official communication

Oh and I have this envelope the my school gave me to give to the college that I can’t open. I know I have to send them but I wanted to know if I have to put my application Id number on the envelope..or if I can take the envelope to them personally?

Oh and is it to late to apply for Financial Aid?

Someone please help me…I have no clue on what to do. Dx
Never mind this part. :p

• Send official transcripts for previous college work (transfer & transient students) (I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO ANY COLLEGE)

radiology — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 12:49:49 +0000

Ive graduated recently with a BS in Criminal justice..My family keep telling me that jobs under the Criminal justice system don’t pay that well..and lately have been telling me to go for something like a 2 year program like Ultrasound..which makes a decent amount of money…

I would personally love to stay within the Criminal Justice system and pursue a Masters..but my family seems to think it will be a waste of money and time….

What do you guys think??
Should i give in and just enter an Ultrasound program which promises a great salary or should i take the plunge and go for my Masters in Criminal justice??

Please, serious answers only..i would really appreciate helpful advise.

Thanks in advance =)

My job injury please help?

radiology — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:50:44 +0000

I have a question, since I injured my knee, thigh and lower back when I fall down at customer’s house at work time. They took me to emergency room, then the company insurance sent me to see Orthopedics and he puts me on physical therapy for several weeks and he explained that it will take time. My knee and thigh became OK and the physical therapy classes stopped, but my back got worst. So, the Dr. he sent me for X-ray and MRI and after that he suggested to give me more treatments probably injections for my back. All that was taken care by my company insurance (Third Party). But, after the doctor reported to them about my situation and his next treatment they set me up for an appointment with Neurology which I did not understand why? So, I went to see him, from first thing he was ready to inform me without serious checking that I’m fine and fit to go back to work and he did not care about my
explanation about my back pain and did not agree why the original doctor want to give me more treatments? He wrote report to that insurance saying I’m OK. But, since I explained to the insurance about my pain they sent me for another consultant (which that Neurology suggested to them) and he was worst than the previous one, he just read previous report and told me to take alive as pain killer! They stopped paying my salary since then. I have pain and I feel that I’m not 100% fit to go back to work! I think somehow they changed my original doctors to force me to go back to work. So, what is your advice in this case? Please give me your comments? Thank you.
