I'm doing an extended research and writing project on the political
socialization of the younger cohort of the twentysomething generation (born
between 1967 and 1981). My focus is on broad trends in sociopolitical 
attitudes, efficacy, and participation. 

Can anyone:
1) recommend primary (or close secondary) source material
and/or
2) send me contact names and numbers at organizations set up and run by members
of this generational cohort ?

Please be aware that this is *not* an examination of student activism per se
nor is it limited to any part of the political spectrum. I need all sides and
all viewpoints.

Thanks much,

I have recently received a  Masters in Engineering and now would
like to go to med school.  Can anyone out there tell me:

1)  Should I take some bio courses in a local college before applying?
2)  Are there any med programs that take people with physics and 
    a little chemistry and allow them to "catch up" in biology?

Med school is something I really want to do, I just need to know if
I need to take some "background" courses before anyone will admit
me.

I hear universities like Rochester take English majors with not too
much science background.  Rumor?

Hi there,

I have two questions about applying to grad. school:

1) Does your chance of getting accepted to gradschool increase 
   if you state that you do not need financial aid?
   I have been advised not to apply for financial aid,
   at least not the first year, because the universities are
   short of money.
   Then once you are accepted you could always apply for
   financial aid for the second year, if you want/need to.

2) How important is the GRE verbal score for international
   students? Because if its already difficult for native English
   speakers, then one can imagine how tough it is for international
   students. If I have a TOEFL score of 670, am I allowed to have
   a bad score on the GRE verbal section, let's say of 450?

Could anyone comment on these?

Thanks,
Paul Leemans.

After 10 years in the workforce slogging away in programming, I am
considering doing a Masters program in Library Science. I am considering
Canadian Universities firstly.

As my intention in this is heavy weighted towards use of online databases
as opposed to working in libraries, I am particularly interested in programs
that are as up-to-date as possible in the technology.

So far, University of Toronto seems to be a good bet. University of British
Colombia appeals esthetically (no snow) however I'm not sure how their
program rates compared to U of T. I haven't gotten much info concerning
University of Western Ontario or McGill.

Other considerations are I may possibly wish to go onto a Doctoral program
in the UK ....

ANY advice would be greatly appreciated.

It depends on how well you know them, how nice they are, and whether
they are good with a word processor.  I once asked someone to write 10
letters for me, but I supplied them with stamped, addressed envelopes
and made sure they knew that all the letters could be exactly the same
(except for the salutation of course). He was able to use a mail merge
file to create the personalized letters.  In general, I only asked
each person to write 3 letters and had no refusals. I did know the
people well and was more than just a name in the gradebook to them.

This is also known as the Computer-Based Testing Program (CBT) introduced by
ETS this past October.  In my opinion, the CBT is intended to replace all
special administrations of the General GRE.  So, now, the traditional "pencil
and paper" test is offered 5 times a year, and the CBT is available around 3
times a week in nearly EVERY ETS center.

The advantages are, as mentioned, fast scores processing and delivering.  The
major disadvantage is the lack of flexibility of the computer-based test
compared to the traditional one, especially in reading comprehension (e.g. you
cannot underline paragraphs, make notes in the passage, etc).  Also, one may
not adapt oneself when it comes to using the computer even after going through
the 20 minutes tutorial right before the test.

In any case, it is a good alternative for those who really need to take (or
retake) the GRE.

I just got back my GRE scores today.  While it would be impossible to better
on my analytical score, and I'm pleased enough with my verbal and computer
science score, I did at least 50 points lower on my quantitative score then
I could have.  I'm applying to as competitive schools as you can get, and
I'm wondering if I should delay applying a year so I can re-take the exam.

The simple question is, is it worth it?  I received straight A's in my college
level math, and my GPA is excellent.  Will this damage me enough that I should
retake the GRE's next year and apply for Fall '94 instead of Fall '93?

For me personally, I think the MBA will be more valuable.  I have a
degree in computer science and I'm about two-thirds of the way through
an MBA.  I took a few graduate CS courses, but found I was only
getting a little more depth in subjects I was already familiar with.
In the real world, you get a lot of that depth on the job.  On the
other hand, after a few years of computer engineering, I found that I
was spending time preparing budgets, making financial judgements and
directing people.  The MBA gives you information you can use for these
aspects of the job.  If you want to run your own company, an MBA is
extremely helpful.  The business landscape is littered with
technologists who tried to start their own companies without
understanding net present value or business contract law.

>  Some people said that MBA is most valuable when combined
>	with a non-business first degree.

I agree.  For a business major, an MBA is just more of the same thing
they've gotten as undergraduates, and they still don't have
operational experience in the areas they will be managing.  This is
why Ed Esber, former CEO of Ashton Tate, the late maker of dBase, ran
it into the ground.  He knew only business and not computer
engineering.  Esber took his first dBase course the same week he was
forced out as CEO.

You need to take the GMAT exam for most MBA programs.  It is not
difficult if your English skills are good.  The math is simple, but
you may need to review your 8th grade geometry and high school algebra
skills and practice so you can do all the problems in the alloted
time.  If you are a methodical problem solver, you'll need to practice
to get the speed you'll need.  Study guides and software are available
in college and retail bookstores.  The GMAT is administered by
Educational Testing Services (When you learn about monopolies in your
business study, just think of ETS).  You can reach ETS for an
application form at (609) 771-7330.
