What is the difference between college grades and college credit?

Nisa M. A. asked:


I’m currently attending a community college to complete my general education. I’m aiming to go for engineering in a 4 year college, perhaps even a polytechnic university.

Anyways, what do 4 year colleges or universities look for on a transcript, grades or credit? Or are they essentially the same?

This fall 2010 was my first ever semester in college. I got 4 A’s (Chemistry, Trigonometry, English, French 1) and 16 credit total (more than 12 credit is considered full-time in this particular college).

What matters the most?

Erika Hanson asked:


After I get out of the navy or air force, depending on where I end up, I will be going straight to college to be a forensic scientist. Like Abby in the TV show NCIS who processes all of the criminal evidence in the lab. I prefer to spend some time with my family while I’m in college, so I won’t listen to suggestions about colleges out-of-state. Thank you in advance for your advice!

Boomer asked:


Alright I need some serious help with the whole college thing I’m completly lost. I’m 17, and a juinor in highschool. The thing is though I’m HOMESCHOOLED (if I was in public I’d probably be a sophmore)! I dont have credits and a GPA. My parents would not let me go to a public school my whole life so its been like this since grade 1. I could go now though. How am I supposed to get into college under these circumstances? I’ve always wanted to go to college, its been the one thing I’ve always looked foreward to but I didnt realize there were certain things you had to have and do to get into one… how does college work anyway? If you guys could put it into perspective it would be alot of help no ones ever layed out the guidelines for me and like I said… I’m lost. also I want to either be a pediatrician or something along the lines of a physicist for NASA. So if you guys could lay out the guidelines and rules and all that for those specific career paths then that would be even more help

Pinata asked:


I need to know if college football players are required to take and do well in college classes (I believe they are, in current times), but even more specifically, I need to know how long this has been a requirement by law or colleges for football players at their schools to do so.

Me! asked:


I mean my college follows a quarter system, so if I want to transfer to a college with a semester system do I have to send transcripts of all my quarters i.e. semesters and just one last thing. How hard it is to transfer to a state university like suny BU or rutgers?

What college football fans stand throughout every home game?

August 5th, 2011 | Posted in College Life   Comments Off
joedeshon asked:


Isn’t there a college whose fans have a tradition of standing through every home football game? The idea is that they are ready to run on the field in case the coach needs them to play.

It seems like I remember the story. But I can’t remember which college it is. Maybe it’s several colleges. I don’t know.

I want to use them for an analogy in a speech that I’m writing. (Like always be ready; you never know when you’ll be called on.) Can somebody help me?

Is a college education still the most important indication of future success or income?

scottodestructo asked:


I was looking at the Forbes 400 richest and a lot didn’t go to college or finish. So many people don’t work in the area they study. On the other hand even now after being out of college for years I am tempted to take college classes in the area I work.

emifer asked:


I have no idea what college I should go to but I want to major in Photography and minor in either Journalism or Photojournalism. My preference is that the college is in the Eastern United States, but I am open to suggestions. I also would like to attend college in a well-populated city or town. I don’t want to go to a small college or university. I am open to any suggestions! Thanks.
