uc davis

• Question:-UC Davis ?
  Hi! im visiting the UC Davis campus in the next few weeks and i need to know what to look for in the college. I will be hanging out with someone that goes there and she will be giving me a tour, what type of things should i ask? Any tips are much appreciated! Thanks
  
  Answer:-I am a UC Davis freshman. Here are some things to check out:
  
  1) Ask your friend to show you the Tercero Area and the Segundo Area (for the dorms)
  Tercero sometimes smells like cows but is closer to the science buildings.
  Segundo has a huge dining commons and is closest to the GYM
  
  2) Definitely check out the ARC(Activities and Recreation Center) and the Memorial Union.
  
  3) Assuming she knows you well, ask her which dorm area would fit your personality.
  
  4) Drive around Downtown Davis, ask her the prices for the AmTrak (if you're gonna be taking it home)
  
  There isn't really much to see for the first time. Check out the dorms and the dining commons, you'll be living there for 9 months next year.

• Question:-What day did UC Davis notify its applicants about its admission decisions last year?
  What was the date that UC Davis let all applicants know their admission status last year?
  
  AND...Does anyone have an idea when they will let us know for 2011?
  
  Answer:-I don't know about west coast but I know in the Midwest most schools will have posted notifications by mail by now. Northwestern University down in Illinois gives out acceptance notifications April 1st but this is the latest date out there for schools in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois. I'm sure they will come soon
  
  I'm confident you will get in Sea

• Question:-How to get to UC Davis from San Jose with public transportation?
  I need to go to UC Davis, but I don't have a car and I don't want to bother any of my friends, either. So, does anyone know how to get there with public transport?
  
  Answer:-well you could take amtrak to sacramento the yolo bus to UC Davis
  also I belive UC Davis also has a shuttle bus service from to/UC berkeley
  but I'm not sure if you have to be a student there to use it
• Question:-What are the transportation options to UC Davis from San Francisco?
  Other than Amtrak, are there other (cheaper) ways to get to UC Davis?
  
  And, are there limits for the size of the luggage you can carry on these buses or trains?
  
  Answer:-You can take the UCD-Berkeley Shuttle from UC Davis to Cal, then hop on BART to the city. The only bad thing about the shuttle is that you have to buy your tickets two weeks in advance and have to be a Cal or UCD affliate to ride. Once in Berkeley, BART will get you to SF in 20 mins tops.
  
  Amtrak would be your best bet.
• Question:-What do i need to be major in in UC Davis in order to go to be Dermatologist?
  What do i need to be major in in UC Davis in order to go to be Dermatologist?
  
  and also, im planning on gonig to community college and transfer after 2 years... and finish remaining 2 years at Davis... how will that work and what are the classes i should be taking?
  
  Answer:-You can major in any field as long as you take the prerequisites required for medical school. The commonly accepted coursework requirements for medical school include a minimum of 1 year of:
  
  General biology
  Physics with lab
  General chemistry (inorganic chemistry) with lab
  Organic chemistry with lab
  Calculus
  English
  
  You should major in a field which leads to alternative career paths as most applicants do not make it into medical school.
  
  You should not take these prerequisites at CC. Take them when you transfer to a 4 year college.
• Question:-How to tell UC Davis about the D I received in calculus last semester?
  I have been admitted to UC Davis. I have received a D in AP calculus, which is my fourth year of math, last semester. So what is the best way to tell UC Davis about the D so that I would not get revoked? Should I call or email them? And what is the best method to remedy my D, if they ask? Thanks
  
  Answer:-Unless there is a specific cirumstance/explanation of why you didn't do so well in calc (for instance, a family problem, medical reason, etc.) I wouldn't call too much attention to the grade. At the same time if there is a spot for additional comments in the academics/grades section of the application I would briefly mention the grade. DON'T make excuses ("the teacher was really mean", "I had a lot of other work") because everyone has those situations but do acknowledge that your grade was less than you would have liked and explain that you hope they can see from the other courses that you have taken that you pushed yourself to take challenging classes in high school, even when you didn't necessarily get the highest grade. Good luck!
• Question:-Requirements for UC Davis for incoming freshman in the fall of 2008?
  I am currently a senior in high school and I really want to apply into UC Davis. A lot of people say that you need to have at least a 4.0 in order to get in. I only have a 3.6 GPA and even though I did not do too well on my SATS, I am very active in school activities. I also took 2 years of foreign language, but they are at Sacramento City College. But I have 5 years of math already. Is it still possible for me to get in? My counselor said that my chance is very low, so I don't want to risk it knowing that I won't get into Davis.
  
  Answer:-You can see the profiles of admitted students to Davis for Fall 2007 (detailed breakdown of GPA, SAT, ACT, SAT II, and other statistics) at: http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/resources/materials/ITU.pdf on page 38.
  
  Davis is not incredibly competitive, so I'm not sure why your counselor is being discouraging. I think you should apply and find out for yourself.

fall back

• Question:-What are the fall back options for someone with a humanity's degree?
  I am thinking about going down the road towards college professor. I am interested in history and more specifically European history. I understand that there is a lot of competition for this job. After getting a PhD, what would be the fall back options if I failed to be a college professor?
  
  Answer:-If you're not going to be a professor, then the PhD could technically get you the same jobs as the MA (or even the BA for that matter). Of course, all those years or research and writing could help you parlay your dissertation into a book or job as a writer. You could also go out a be a practicing historian, gobbling up tons of grants to fund your excursions to remote villages to find undiscovered or untranslated manuscripts. But that's just living the charmed life of a professor on permanent sabbatical.
  
  It's a competitive field but the jobs exist. You just might get stuck teaching at a less-than-desirable college.
• Question:-How much should I recieve for my slip and fall back accident ?
  I injured my back in a slip and fall and had to have back surgery because of it. It has altered my life totally.
  
  Answer:-Cars & Transportation > Insurance & Registration is the category. Were you walking around inside your car and slipped?
  
  But to answer, if your fall was the direct result of someone being negligent, and that negligent person has insurance that covered such acts. and if their insurance accepted liability for your accident, it will cover your medical expenses. As to whether it will cover more than your expenses is a question only the carrier can answer with any degree of certainty.
  
  Good luck.
• Question:-Why did Major Whittlesey want his troops to fall back in the lost battalion movie?
  Why did Major Whittlesey want his troops to fall back?
  
  What did the ranking general tell Major Whittlesey to get him to attack the German troops?
  
  Why was the battle of the Argonne so important to both sides during WWI?
  
  Answer:-Major Whittlesey and his battalion were supposed to have strong support on both flanks. He sent runners to communicate with the flanking forces. They returned to tell him there were no flanking forces, they were entirely surrounded by an overwhelmingly superior force of Germans. To stay was suicidal and he knew it.
  
  The general and his staff and other officers were professional soldiers from West Point. The major was a New York lawyer reservist. The general made it clear he did not believe any reserve officer. in particular the New York lawyer could cut it and told him so. He was told he was to attack in concert with the troops on his flanks and hold to the last man, and this was a direct order. When he left the general told the other officers present that he did not believe the major could do it..
  
  The Argonne was a key position. If taken the Germans would be forced back, losing considerable ground and the war.Holding it would provide a pivot point for other forces to join up on their flanks
  
  I have seen this movie several times. Your questions lead me to believe you have not seen it or all your questions would have been answered. It is a very powerful movie which I urge you to see. It is the most historically correct movie I have ever seen.
  
  Did you know that the major committed suicide shortly after the war ? He felt that he should have fallen back, regardless of orders as it would have saved the lives of a whole lot of his men on what proved out to be a useless mission.
• Question:-How do u fall back in love with your partner?
  How do u fall back in love with someone that you have fallen out of love with. If all you can do is resent the person.
  
  Answer:-You can't - once love has gone, it's over and done with.
• Question:-How can I fall back in love with my boyfriend?
  Ever since he got me mad during an argument a few days ago I fell out of love. I no longer get butterflies in my stomach, I don't feel happy to get texts or calls from him and even canceled a Friday night date. I went from deeply in love to not having much feeling. I want to fall back in love before I decide to break up which would crush him. How can I do this? Should I tell him I lost my feelings for him?
  
  Answer:-Yes. That's exactly what happened. That fight made you really mad at him and now you don't love him. You can't ask how to love someone. Love just happens without your control And sometimes you fall out of love without even noticing. I think you should explain to him what's been going on and tell him that you can't control how your heart feels. Good luck (:
• Question:-Is it important for women to have something to fall back on?
  Okay, I know a lot of moms stay home with their kids while their husbands work. I'm not trying to start a debate on that subject though. I'm just wondering if you think that all mothers should have something to fall back on if something should happen later on down the road. I think it is. My husband was born with a defect in his back; it can go out anytime. Now, unless his back goes out in the next year (knock on wood, keeping my fingers crossed, praying very hard it doesn't), we will be okay when that does happen. What do you think? Should we try to have experience in one field or another in case something happens later in life? What about some type of degree?
  Mandi, I'm actually going for nursing...lol. I'm taking CNA courses this summer and then going to a vocational school this fall to become an LPN....then going back once again to become an RN.
  Oh we've got insuarance (life and disability) but that only goes so far. My mother in law is on disability and gets around $800 a month. There's no way I could do that...
  
  Answer:-I agree with you on the disability thing. My sister-n-law gets $900 a month.
  
  I also agree with you on the rest. I stupidly got married right out of high school to a boy I barely knew. I though the idea of being married and having kids was fun, and didn't realize it was actually work. (LIVE AND LEARN!) I found myself 18, pregnant, only a high school education and getting a divorce. My mother gave me the best advice: A woman needs to always have a back up. Don't ever depend on anyone else to support you or your kids. Especially not a man. Marriages come and go, and you need to have a career and an education to fall back on.
  
  She paid for me to go to college and get a certification in dental assisting. I worked my way up from the bottom, but I know that even if my marriage were to fall apart, I have something to fall back on. It might be hard to raise 2 kids on just my income, but at least I am not stuck getting paid minimum wage because I only have a high school diploma or a GED.
• Question:-How do you stay in a positive attitude and not fall back into negativity?
  I fight hard to be positive, but I easily fall back in to negativity when things go wrong, and they always go wrong. even though I have a good work ethic. Most of the time I get ripped off and cheated. and I get discouraged . what do you people do out there to overcome this?
  
  Answer:-well for me i find the positives.
  there is always a positive to every situation, it may not be good for you, but there's always something good :)
• Question:-What is a good college to fall back on if you don't get into your dream college?
  I have straight A's and plan on taking AP classes in high school. I put very little effort into school and still get straight A's. I really want to attend Princeton University. If I don't get in, I don't know what my fall back school is. Can you apply to a college more than once? Also, what is a good fall back school for me?
  
  Answer:-You don't say what state you live in, but you should look at some state schools. For example, if you live in Indiana, you should look at Indiana University, Purdue University, Indiana State, etc. since you would pay in-state tuition at those schools. If you are looking at more private schools (and can afford them!) then you might consider the "sub-Ivies". Those are schools that maybe aren't Ivy League like Princeton and Harvard, yet are considered excellent schools to attend. Those would include Vanderbilt University, Emory University, Rice, Notre Dame, etc.

  U.S. News and World Report magazine does an excellent college rankings article.
  
  You also didn't mention what you wanted to major in. If you are looking at medicine, for example, be aware that medical school will be an expensive investment after your undergraduate work. If you want to do business, check out the nations top business schools. Make sure that whatever school you want to go to has your major. For example, you can't go to Vanderbilt for business since Vanderbilt doesn't have a business school.
  
  Regarding applying more than once: No, but you can update your application. I will explain. If you applied to Princeton and weren't sure of your application, you send them more stuff to help you out. Send in you latest test scores from the SAT or ACT. Send in an e-mail saying that you got president of a school club, if that were to happen. If you get an updated transcript that has better grades on it, send it in. All of those things will only help your chances.
  
  Also, applying "Early Decision" helps out your chances a lot. It shows the school that you are very interested in going there, and often a greater percentage of students applying Early Decision get in than those that apply regular decision.
  
  Good luck in high school. Please e-mail me if you have more questions about college...I'd be happy to answer them for you!
• Question:-Science and medicine. How long does it take the ball to fall back on the ground?
  A ball is thrown upward from the roof of a 120-ft building with an initial velocity of 20ft/s.
  
  How long does it take the ball to fall back on the ground?
  
  Answer:-v = Delta X/Delta T
  20ft/s = 120ft/T
  T = 120ft/20ft/s
  T = 6 seconds

• Question:-Peru had an earthquake on August 16th,would that cause the northern fault lines in California to rupture?
  I'm no scientist, but because Peru had an earthquake, would that put more pressure on the fault lines north, up the coast and eventually cause major earthquakes on the coast of California? Didn't California have a small earthquake just recently and wasn't there predictions of a major earthquake on the San Andreas Fault line made on CNN just a few days ago? Shouldn't people be made more aware of this possibility?
  
  Answer:-Not really, the earthquake is a relieving of the pressure on an area of the fault, it shouldn't have a major effect on other areas.
  
  Generally a part of the fault line which is subject to Earthquakes, but has not had one for years is most at risk. There are instances where a fault has been dormant for a long time {Indonesia recently} and it is subject to several fairly major shocks.However when the stress is relieved is not predictable, although sometimes pre-shocks are detected.
  
  In summary; go move to the center of a tectonic plate.

• Question:-Do you think that the second collapse of the mine in Utah had anything to with the earthquake in Peru?
  And if so what do you think is going on with the stability of the earth itself?
  Just wanted to make sure everyone realizes that Peru is on the same planet as Utah!!!
  
  Answer:-Aftershocks in an unstable mine are not tectonic in nature (earth crust moving). Not enough energy from the Peru quake would make it that far north, or else it would have triggered a lot of quakes in Cali as well.
  
  I have a theory that the melting ice caps are redistributing such a large mass of water around the planet that the poles are undergoing tectonic rebound, causing stress at plate boundaries around the world. IT'S aTHEORY (for whoever wishes to argue the point) but I think I am going to watch quake frequency for the next few years.
• Question:-How do I find orphans from The Huaraz Earthquake of 1970, in Peru? Where would I find a list?
  My husband had family living in Yungay or Huaraz in 1970. They never found his cousins, children who may have been at the Circus during the Earthquake and eventual landslide. Does anyone know who would have a list of survivors from this disaster? Alot of the children were sent to Europe for adoption, but I don't know where to. Are there any good websites for this kind of thing?
  
  Answer:-It is very difficult to access to a list of orphans (if there is actually one) The only thing I can think of is to actually visit Yungay (the new town) and start asking the local authorities. Just remember that when the earthquake happened, the government was run by militars who may or may not have sent the orphans omewhere else. The best thing would be to contact people who lived there at the time, and local authorities now in Yungay or in Huaraz. Websites? I dont think so, these things are very delictae to post online.
  Good luck!
• Question:-Do you think that the second collapse of the mine in Utah had anything to do with the earthquake in Peru?
  And if so what do you think is going to happen to the stability of the earth itself?
  Just wanted to make sure that everyone does realize that Peru is in the same planet as Utah!!!
  They have been calling it a sizemic bump on the news.
  
  Answer:-Possibly, the tectonic plates are very large, I dont hink Utah felt any seismic waves though, so I dont think that is the cause of the mine collapse.
• Question:-If you could prevent either an earthquake in Peru that would kill 40,000 people,...?
  a crash at your local airport that would kill 200 people, or an automobile accident that would kill an acquaintance of yours, which would you choose?
  
  Answer:-Wow that's really tough. I would never want to kill anybody I know or have anything happen to them, so I'd have to go with that, number "3" so to say.
  
  Not that I don't care about Peru or the local airport, but if they are people I don't really know and never met what does it have to do with me or my loved ones? You don't know if the people at the local airport were unkind or even people who destroyed themselves and I don't live in Peru.

• Question:-Seniors on the East coast of the United States: how quickly could one evacuate if there was a tsunami warning?
  One of the Canary Islands (located near North Africa) is having a rash of tremors, over 9300 since July, and residents in a city on the Island of El Hierro have been evacuated recently. There are reports of fish dying and floating up which indicates an underwater volcanic eruption. Should the rock dome of a caldera on another island's (La Palma) volcano collapse, there is a real threat of a mega-tsunami (120 feet high compared to recent Japan tsunami that was 30 feet high) which would reach the eastern coast of the United States within 8-9 hours. If this were to happen it wouldn't be just a few miles near the coast, more like 100 or so in some areas. This tsunami would also hit North Africa, Portugal, Spain, UK and South America and the islands on the east coast of the Americas. How fast could you evacuate and go westward in such an emergency?
