I really want to go back to school too! Eventually... I'm graduating in June with a BA and I'm considering getting my MA in international studies... OR I'm also considering community college to get my paralegal certificate. I've always wanted to go to law school but it's so pricey and I'm not sure if I'm smart enough :blush: Grades shouldn't be much of a problem, but I know i'll have to write some kind of standardized test... for getting my MA I think its called a GMAT? Not sure about college... I assume Canadian university credentials are pretty equivalent to American ones, I have friends going to Law school in the US next year with the same degree as me.

Good luck with that ring ChimCham ;)

congratulations on graduating! :)

I think you should go to law school if that is what you really want to do!

...I miss school, OSAP wouldn't give me any more money and I had to drop out and work :(

you sick person,lol I detest school!! Cant wait to finish,lol

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Depending on what program, it could be the GMAT or the GRE. In the US , I have found that 99% of schools need either of these tests as a pre-req. to get into a program. I need to study for it this year because I'd like to start graduate school in 2010. I work at a university and in NJ, if you work at a university they will pay for your tuition so I really want to do it now when it's free!

Any way, the US is big on standardize tests all the way through so you won't find many places where you can escape it!

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard
