Please help me. especially if you have been admitted or go to a nyu or California state? -

Ok so i have applied to a few universities and cal states and my sat score for writing and critical reading are around 550 but math 350. The places that i have applied show that my writing and critical reading scores are good but my math barely meets the requirements. What should i do? if cal states give their decisions later on, then should i retake the SATS? Will it really affect my admissions? I applied to San Jose, cal state la, San Diego, and San bernardino. Please give me advice. I would love to ask my counselor but she believes that i don t have a chance at college so yeah. Thank you.

If you are referring to THE NYU (in New York City) then you don t have a chance at getting in. Also, to the other person that commented, there is no such thing as in state and out of state tuition at NYU. It s a private school. Anyway, if you have the time to study and do better on the SATs then by all means take them again. You can also apply again next semester. If you don t get in, go to a community college and then transfer to a Cal State. You can apply to transfer out of community college whenever you want so don t feel stuck there. Good luck!

I don t answer questions from people that block their Q A s, (often that information helps give a better answer), but consider that if you go to NYU, you will pay non resident tuition rates. No disrespect intended. Please review the rules of grammar about capitalizing proper nouns. It s something you will be graded on in college.

How do I get to West Orange, NJ from NYC? -

I live in downtown Manhattan, and I need to get here:495 Prospect AvenueWest Orange, NJ 07052What s the cheapest/easiest way to get there?

The cheapest way is by public transit, however, I would recommend giving yourself extra travel time. Here s how to get to the address in question.Take the PATH train s Newark to WTC train from the World Trade Center to Newark Penn Station. Once at Newark Penn Station, transfer to NJ Transit bus route #71, which will take you from the train station to the corner of Prospect Avenue and Marcella Avenue. 495 Prospect Avenue is a short 3 minute walk from the bus stop.I hope this information is very helpful.Good luckNative New Yorker

Move to California or Stay in Cleveland? -

I live in Cleveland, Ohio and Hubby and I are having a debate. He wants to move to California. He says because the cost of living is higher there, he said he would make more money there with the same job to make up for the higher cost of living. I say the opposite... You will find the same job making the same money. Who is Right?and if you have time to answer this one..... Hubby has his on TV show in Cleveland. Feels as though moving to California will give him more opportunity in the Entertainment field. I feel the opposite Smaller pond, less fish, more opportunity vs. Larger Pond, more fish, less opportunity.What do you think?

You re both right. He ll make more money, but the cost of living is higher. If $40,000 a year is middle class in Cleveland, then $80,000 a year is middle class in California. So, you re right that the outcome money wise will basically be the same. The only way it would really be beneficial is to go out to CA, make $80,000 and then come back to Cleveland with the money you made.I m not sure about TV networks in Cleveland vs. networks in CA. California is the hub of the entertainment industry, but there s no guarantee of getting into it. I don t know enough about the TV industry to say.

Right the cost of living is higher, so if you make more money you ll still come out living basically the same way you do now just with a larger paycheck and larger bills. I think that you never know until you try and maybe try to support him with his dreams.

The unemployment rate in California is worse then Ohio right now. He should explore options in LA but not move until he has a firm gig lined up in LA.

Yeah sure go to California. Buy a big fancy car house with a view. Join all those other head trips out there flashing a fake smile by the pool. Also buy Hubby a new hat that will fit his ego !!

California is a great place but they are having a financial catastrophe there right now.

I have to agree with you. I feel his chances are just as great in Cleveland on both issues.

You re right, competition is fierce in all aspects of California living, that s one of the many reasons why I decided to leave the Bay Area for Arizona. Since you re husband does understand that California is much more expensive than Ohio in both cost of living and taxes, then it s just a manner of how much you two can deal with. Although California is known for its high cost of living, it s still quite possible to have a good life there. Your husband is right, wages here are higher so it s about relevant, but taxes do eat up income pretty voraciously there. I would check out the CNN Money Cost of Living Calculator: http://cgi.money.cnn.com/tools/costofliv�� to compare the cost of living in both cities. Otherwise, California is a wonderfully beautiful state with a stunning topography and pleasant climate. I wish you both a pleasant compromise.
