By 2018, 63% of all job openings will require a post-secondary education.
In other words, almost 2 in every 3 jobs will be COMPLETELY CLOSED to you if you don’t have a college degree. And considering that those with a college education make an average of 64% more than those who don’t...This fact should really freak you out. If you haven’t started earning college degree, or if you took classes but never finished, the time to take action is NOW. Lee Academia experts can guide you through choosing degree programs available, and help you qualify for government grants or scholarships. As some students are taking their ACT exam this weekend, here are some tips and tricks to remember.
1. Keep calm and carry on. On test day, relaxation is the key...but this is easier said than done, right? Take it easy and plan to give yourself plenty of time to wake up and get to the test center. Remember, breathe! Eat breakfast. 2. Stay positive. Tests are boring, but think positively. Try smiling while you're taking your ACT test. Belief affects behavior, so it'll work if you stay positive. 3. Practice, Practice, Practice. If you want to be good at something, you have to practice. 4. Come prepared. Bring your admission ticket, cells phones are NOT allowed, bring a watch to keep track of time, your photo ID, calculator, and No.2 pencils. 5. No blanks. You will not be penalized for guessing, but before you go crazy with that No.2 pencil, try to narrow down at least one or two answers that are definitely wrong. For last minute ACT review, schedule a CRAM session (1-hour) now with an ACT expert today! Contact us for more information. As the undergraduate and graduate school years are an intense period of study, healthy eating often takes the backseat to keep up with the daunting workload and schedule. Some students find that they put on extra pounds as they try to eat on the run. Others skip meals altogether and waste away. However, as we all know it, adequate nutrition is needed for optimum learning and creativity. Skipping meals or eating out daily can save time, but ultimately do more harm than good.
Creating nutritious meals takes time and money that students do not have. Or do they? Healthy eating is possible with limited time and it does require planning. Here are three tips to fueling your studies: 1. Buy in bulk: Stores like Costco and BJ's offer deals that can help you stretch your food budget but you need to buy in bulk. 2. Put leftovers to use: When you cook, make it count by making enough for leftovers. Break up leftovers into several different meals. For example, the turkey turns into sandwiches and then congee. Leftover chicken can be served over rice, over salad, or in soup. Plan how to use leftovers so that you cook fewer big meals each week. 3. Bring your lunch and snacks: Lunches don't have to be boring. Leftovers are a simple go-to, and consider snack-like lunches, such as veggies, a handful nuts, some fruit, and slices of cheese. Use insulated lunch bag to carry snacks and food or any set of small containers. Keeping healthy (and inexpensive) alternative snacks in your bag or desk, such as granola bars, hand fruit, peanut butter, and pretzels can keep hunger at bay. Don't give yourself an excuse to eat from the vending machine. Remember, healthy eating, college or graduate school can go hand-in-hand with a little planning. Your body and mind will thank you for the nutritious fuel. Coming this March 2014, Lee Academia will be hosting an Anatomy course (10-week program).
Highly recommended for students interested in the medical field or to explore the Human Anatomy & Physiology. This is another great way to impress the college/medical school admissions officers and add to your resume of activities. Small group and private tutoring available. Seats limited, so start thinking about your Spring semester. Stay tuned for more information. Creating an #SAT or #ACT study schedule that allows you to pace yourself will help you avoid burnouts.
For many students entering their junior year of high school, one of the most stressful parts of preparing to apply to college is taking the SAT or ACT. When students are inundated with so many different test-taking tips, strategies and services, it can be quite challenging to sift through them all. One of the most important things for students to do in preparation for the SAT or ACT is to map out exactly when they will take the test and how they will study for it. The following are three tips for designing such a timeline. 1. Sign up for a test date far in advance: The SAT is offered seven times per year nationally; the ACT is offered six. Once you determine which test you will be taking, the first thing you need to do is look at the upcoming test schedule and decide on a date to take it. Make sure that you avoid all possible conflicts in the time immediately preceding it. Don't let things that you can control interfere with your preparation during that time. 2. Take the test early: While it would be great if you could reach your target score the very first time you take the test, you will most likely have to take it once or twice more in order to attain the score you want. Improvement comes naturally through repetition. No matter how many practice tests you take, it is difficult to simulate test day conditions before actually experiencing what it's like to be sitting in that test-taking room. It will be impossible to take the SAT or ACT multiple times prior to applying to colleges if the first time you take it is late in the fall of your senior year. With plenty of time left in your junior year, you leave yourself ample time to take the exam once or twice more. 3. Simulate testing conditions: Reserve the last two weeks in your studying schedule for taking a full sample exam, and make sure to simulate test day conditions as much as possible. The closer you can get to feeling exactly what it is like to take the test, the less stressful the real experience will be.

With the Common Application calling in a support team (from Amazon?) to help sort out problems with the server and system, many member colleges are extending early admissions deadlines. Schools like Villanova, Rutgers and Muhlenberg College had their own application. The series of complicated problems posed by the Common Application worry both students (with their parents and school counselors) and colleges. Colleges are worried about their continued inability to access and read submitted applications through online enrollment management systems. Some colleges are resorting to the old method : manual processing. The Common Application reports that half of the colleges using a daily automated process to retrieve files are testing or waiting to go live with the software fix. However, for those with functioning retrieval systems, there are still reports of applications and documents showing up as empty files or blank pages. As addressed by many concerned and anxious school counselors, the colleges, at the same time, struggle with glitches in the automated systems and receive hundreds of calls from anxious applicants, teachers, and school counselors seeking acknowledgement of documents sent weeks ago. The colleges represented at the panel suggested that counselors and applicants wait a day or two after the deadline to see if their documents were received by colleges. Many member colleges are going to accommodate the concerns and honor a few days after the deadline of document receipt. Some are taking a more flexible approach to enforcing their deadlines. Princeton University suggests that students use the Universal Application. From the schools' perspective, between problems with the Naviance connection and an inability to access documents through automated processes, they simply have no way of telling whether a document has been sent or received. It’s stressful for all involved—applicants, recommenders, and colleges. And while procrastinating applicants may heave a sigh of relief, it’s worth mentioning that the wise student will make every effort to get applications sent long before deadlines. Not only is it worth the peace of mind, but you also potentially avoid traffic jams and service interruptions down the road. Note: The devastating Hurricane Sandy of 2012 also caused many headaches for student applicants last year.
