    Try after hours, or college work.
    After hours is your best bet tho.

    Is college in America not really expensive.

    Is college in America not really expensive, $50000 a year or something like that.

    thanks,yeh the college i want to go to is $44.048 for a year and it is 4 years all together but as my mom income is 40,000 the college will pay for the whole 4 years,so i wont have to pay for anything but books and contribution.

    Ireland is a ripp-off
    True.
    I have to say college in Ireland is great, Just going into 5th and final year, really love the first 4.:D

    Nah, secondary, going into fifth...

    I have been told the lanuage is hard to learn, so try to learn it while still in secondry.
    Try your guidance counselor in your school, you could also try going to a college and trying to get some information out of them. Im sure they would only be to happy to help.:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭THEZAPPA

    I'm already studying Japanese, it's not nearly as hard as people say...

    I asked my guidance teacher - clueless - but I will look to a college...

    Han koo! :)

    I did the SATs when I was 13 (yes, the proper ones) for CTYI (www.boards.ie/ctyi). You might want to enquire with CTYI to take an exam. You're 15, yes? If you're 15 or 16 then they'll definately let you do an exam (and if you get good enough marks you can attend the CTYI summer course). It's in January I believe. It's not too hard so don't worry. Not the kind of test you can study for. A brush up on your J.C. maths here, a look-up of the dictionary there and you're ready. Hell, I got in like the 56th percentile and that was when I was 13 (compared to all college-bound Americans of the previous year). Good luck.

    yeh ill do that now.....!

    I'm an Idiot. What I ment to say, was try ringing the American Embassy. They'll be able to point you in the right direction. However, if you want to get some background info before contacting them, yes, it's a good Idea to post here asking for people in similar situations.

    This is not the message i posted Yesterday

    I would like to apologise for being a dick. But still believe that there is no need to post here if the embassy is sending you out all the details. I also take offence to my post being edited. I agree I was being a jerk. But don't believe the message should have been altered

    Bye bye.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭THEZAPPA


    YOU RING THE AMERICAN EMBASSEY, AND ASK THEM TO SEND YOU OUT DETAILS ON THE SATS. THEY WILL THEN POST OUT ALL THE DETAILS. DID YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ALRIGHT. OR ARE YOU LOOKING AT THIS POST LIKE A DOG WHO'S JUST BEEN SHOWN A CARD TRICK. If so [which is more then likly] PM and ill send you a diagram I reallly hope your not Trying for a Ivy League collage. If you couldn’t figure that out Stupido. By the way if you sit the SAT and get a resonable score you can right your own ticket into Trinity collage. Its that easey.

    you mean easy.

    im not dumb you know,i tried that and im waiting.
    but its in DCU where you do them,and no need to be so rude. :mad:
