First day of school Poll Uniforms or not

First day of school Poll Uniforms or not?
I see a lot of people posting questions about what to wear on the first day of school. In australia we wear uniforms, so theres no competition about what clothes who's got on, everyone is equal, in that respect, so theres no presure on parents to, try to keep up with the jones's type mentality they yall got going in the US. Do you think uniforms would be a better option? I personally like uniforms, then you dont have to have a huge wardrobe, that ur going to grow out of anyway, and you dont have to worry about what your going to wear, seems like it would solve a lot of issues among teens in the US. The other thing is, i've never dated a girl becos she had better clothes on then another, I choose by personality first and azz second body curves third and face last, clothes dont even vector into the equation. Food for thought

No uniforms. When you get to wear your own clothes, you express your individuality, and that's always good.

DEFINITELY. Especially coming from a girls' perspective, girls are always competing over being the best dressed or looking better than someone else. plus it puts extra stress on how we look, not to mention makeup and hair. I wish we had uniforms in public schools because it would save time and stress

I agree! Uniforms are better. I've been to private school all my life... It's so much easier with uniform. I don't have to panic about what to wear everyday, or if I already wore the same things already or something.

I go to school in Canada and I don't wear a uniform. I know that all the private schools in my area require uniforms though. I guess the good thing about uniforms would be that I wouldn't spend that much time deciding what to wear. Also, you're right about the whole competition thing. Some uniforms are kind of cute too. That might just be me. I like wearing my own clothes because I got to create my own individual style and learn how to shop for clothes that are right for me and all that.. Its fun dressing up. Personally, I'd be up for uniforms if we had to get them. But life without them is cool too.

Thats great that youre all into uniforms and understand how they can be more convenient than free dress. But just so you know, there are private schools here in the US that require the kids to wear uniforms. I went to a private school for 9 years and had to wear a uniform and i dont think i complained all that much about it. However when i went to high school i switched to a public school, so i didnt have to wear a uniform anymore. I love it and i dont really think theres any "competition." People just wear what they like and what they feel comfortable in. So i personally dont think that uniforms would be a better option.

Help me convert my high school results to an SAT score

Help me convert my high school results to an SAT score?
I finished high school in Australia, I took the TEE, not the SAT, which resulted in a grade known as the TER, which is the percentage of other students that I scored higher than. my TER is 96.05, (so I was in the top 3.95% of my year) as a guide, a TER of 80 will get you into a commerce degree in the countries most selective business school, engineering ranges from 85-95 law is from 96 and above medicine is 98-99 I am preparing a resume to apply for jobs in America and would like to supply them an estimate of my SAT score by comparison, so what is it? just to clarify, what SAT would get you into law at a good school, but not medicine? why would I be on 1400? this page says 1500 is the average, so wouldn't 1400 be pretty bad? http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_1400_a_good_SAT_score

The SAT gets you into University for an undergraduate (bachelors) degree. The SAT is a general test for everyone and while there are subject tests, they don't really have an bearings on what you study at University. If you're in the top 4%, you would have scored a 1400 or so on the SAT although you shouldn't write that on a job application. The tests are different and you may come across as dishonest. Just write that you fell in the top 3.95 percentile for your standardized test. EDIT: I meant 1400 out of 1600 which was the way it used to be scored. Find a conversion table from old to new to figure it out.
2 :
I suggest that you do not try to make an estimation. For one thing, you do not have an accurate source to make a conversation. Write down what you have on your employment application and add that there is no SAT in Australia. Explain TEE to them. Secondly, you cannot simply get into law school or medical school in United States. You have to do really well in undergraduate, perform stellar in standardized tests, and do well in interviews. You have to be U.S. citizen or permanent resident as well. There are exceptions, but very rare.
3 :
They are completely different - you sit a specific test for SAT AS WELL AS the tests for your subjects to finish your final year at school. The scores are not comparable. Australian students don't sit a separate uni entrance exam - its like saying I got 90% in year 12 music - what AMEB exam score is that? It doesn't make sense.
4 :
The SAT is for the undergraduate degree. US colleges do not teach medicine or law at the undergrad level. Even if you have taken the TEE, you must take the SAT.
5 :

the SAT doesnt work that way at all there is no set score for suggesting what career you would be successful in it is a general test to assess how well your reasoning is the score is used to see how successful you will be in a college enviroment it has no effect on your proffesional choice... granted people with higher scores tend to go into proffesions such as law, medicine, and enginerring... and what job are you looking for b.c the SAT is taken after high school and companies could careless what you scored just colleges... idk if your test is after hs or after uni but if its after hs you still need to go get a college degree and yea 1400 is terrible

How old are people normally when they go to film school

How old are people normally when they go to film school?
Like do students go straight after high school? Would it be weird if I didn't go straight away, but a few years later? Also how do I gain entry to an American Film School if I live in Australia?

I have a friend who is doing this. He has an undergraduate degree in Psychology and has been filming since he was 16. He is applying to NYU film school. He says it is a very big deal as you have to get your application sponsored by people that know your work and that they have to be the 'right people'. There is another film school in LA, same deal and that is it for top film schools in the USandA. Expensive, complicated and very competitive.
