Milwaukee School of Engineering Top Questions

I'd go back to Sophmore year in high school and continually get on myself about accurately planning a budget on how much school really is going to cost, and fill out more scholarships then and over the 2 years following that. Not filling out every scholarship that I could caused alot of trouble later on. If I had done this maybe I wouldn't have been so stressed and had come close to not having the funds at all.

Go and do whatever you enjoy. If you do not enjoy what you do then there is no point in even doing it. if you are having doubts about a place or a major, think twice about it and maybe do not do it. Really listen to whatever your relatives or other people that care about you have to say about their previous experiences on college. Go and study whatever is going to make you happy, it does not matter what others have to say. Never give up always keep fighting for your dreams. College is nothing like high school, but it is going to be great as long you are well prepared to go at it.

Keep focused on your highschool classes, and don't let anyone discourage you from doing what you're heart tells you to. If you enjoy what you're learning, it becomes much easier to learn. This will also carry over into your career, if you enjoy what you're doing, you'll be good at it, and will therefore be respected.

I would tell myself to work hard and study throughout high school. Also, i would choose different classes that i took. Instead of taking classes with friends, i would have taken more math and science classes to prepare myself fo the beg transition into college. High school was not a challenge and because i am at such a hard university, that the step was so big.

If I could go back to when I was a high school senior and give advice to myself there are just a few things I would say. First of all I would tell myself not to sleep in Algebra, it?s more important than you think and you will need to know it, that would?ve help me a lot at the beginning of my freshman year of college. The second thing I would tell myself is not to worry about high school drama. You?ll realize soon that most of them aren?t even your true friends and besides, the time that you spend dealing with everyone?s problems could be time spent preparing yourself for college. The very last thing I would say is to enjoy yourself. You will soon be ending a big part of your life and beginning an even bigger part. Make the memories while you can because once you get to college you?ll realize how good you really had it back home.

1. Focus on school work. 2. Make better decisions when spending money. 3. Get a job that will give you experience within your field. 4. Never go alone to any party. 5. Be more proactive in school events.

If I were to go back in time and meet myself as a high school senior, the first thing I would tell myself would be to do not take anything for granted. I remember always thinking to myself senior year that I needed to apply for some scholarships, but I only half-heartedly attempted to go out, find them, and apply. I would make sure to motivate my past self into putting a much stronger effort into getting as many scholarships as possible. In addition to scholarships, I would tell my past self to become more involved in as many different clubs and programs as possible. Not only would these clubs help make a difference at the time, but they would also have a very important part in the future as I apply for scholarships and jobs now. Finally, I would encourage myself to apply to numerous colleges instead of just a few. By doing so, I would have a much broader range of programs and opportunities allowing me to have more options to choose from. Apart from academic advice, I would tell my past self to think carefully about what you want to be and do in the future.

Don't base an experience off of financial gains or losses not now or in the future. Don't pocrastinate so much. Nothing is set in stone if you are not sure of something right now then that is okay. You will not be in school forever. Do not think that you can breeze your way through college like you did in high school.

The biggest advice would be to maintain my study habits, have fun and that college is better than you had ever imagined.

College life is a time when your independence and responsibilities as an adult hits you full force. Friends are an essential part of the high school to college transition. If you sit alone in your room studying or sitting on the computer all the time you will be much less passionate and more unhappy about your new life. College should be a time when you are exploring to find out who you truly are. You cannot dwell in the past; you need to dedicate yourself to being involved in campus life, succeeding in your studies, doing things you want to do, and letting yourself be the best person you can possibly be. It will be a life changing experience that you will never regret, so live it up!
