Do I have a chance of getting into UCLA, UC Irvine, UC Davis and UC San Diego?

College applications are approaching, and I’m thinking if I should even apply to colleges I don’t have a chance of getting into. I come from a high school that’s quite competitive, and it’s pretty hard to get into honors/ap classes. My sat score is relatively low. Do colleges specifically look at your weighted or unweighted gpa?

The UC system compars both your unqeighted and your weighted GPA’s, though they place the emphasis on your weighted GPA. You should take the SAT again, in hopes that you can improve by a hundred points or so. You have great EC’s, and you have demonstrated that you are a hard worker. A lot of volunteering, which you have, helps tremendously. You should be a shoe-in for Irvine, Davis, and San Diego, but UCLA is a stretch. If I were you, I would apply to all those schools, because you should get in to at least three of the schools in which you are applying to. I can guarantee you this much: you will be getting into any UC you apply to, with the exception of Berkeley and UCLA, even though you still have a chance.

I need guidance. In my late 20′s, non-traditional student needing to relocate and finish College.?

Skies the limit is what I have always been told! I currently live in NY state working two jobs without a degree and I’m ready for something different. I’m scared to start over but I feel the need to. I’ve been working towards a degree in Biology and Environmental Biology. What my heart really wants is something more focused in Wildlife Biology and Conservation. I’ve spent a huge amount of time looking at Colleges and Universities with these degree options and I have a good idea of my likes and dislikes for an area, but I just don’t know what course of action is the best to take. Apply to a school first, then relocate? Relocate then find a school? I’ve been looking towards Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, Oregon, Alaska. If someone can offer up some advise, suggestions, words of encouragement, ANYTHING, so I can consider what way to put my best foot forward I would appreciate it very much!!

Follow your heart. It’s never too late to start over, or to finish school. I know from experience…I’m 53 and still take online courses to advance my life. As for you, contact the schools that you may be interested in before you relocate. Get any info they may have in Wildlife Biology and Conservation. Check out their facilities online, and contact the admin offices or other officials there for their opinions, etc. Maybe even contact former/current students. Also, try some smaller colleges, too. Their courses often equal and sometimes surpass the quality of larger schools. It seems you’re more interested in the mountainous areas, but don’t forget about the swampy and arid parts of our country. We live in a very diverse country and you will spend the rest of your life enjoying your calling. I’m jealous! Good luck!

Could I study psychology and pursue a career in animal psych for wildlife conservation? PhD programs?

Is it possible to study psychology and incorporate animals/animal psych into a career, hoping to for some time work in wildlife conservation (possible environmental) with this education? Are there PhD programs for such? Or, would I have to take a veterinary route? Thanks!

I am a post-doctoral researcher in animal behaviour in the UK. A better route to take would be to study animal behaviour or behavioural ecology if you later want to go into wildlife conservation. Better still, just study conservation biology. There are PhD programmes for all these subject areas in the UK and US.
