WALT'S DAUGHTER, NIKKI, WANTS TO ATTEND THE BEST UNIVERSITY IN THE SOUTHWEST US FOR A BS IN HOSPITALITY-MARKETING

MY DAUGHTER WISHES TO ENROLL IN THE BEST BS(HOSPITALITY-MARKETING) PROGRAM IN THE SOUTHWESTERN US. CAN YOU HELP HER MAKE A DECISION THAT WILL PREPARE HER FOR THIS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT? SHE WILL COMPLETE HER AA DEGREE AT MIRACOSTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE THIS SUMMER (2009).

SINCERELY,

WALT PYPER

Back to Uni !

My name is Aba.I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Ghana-West Africa. I would like to do an MSc in Industrial Psychology.I would like to know what to do whiles preparing for grad school in the US.

I would like to know how much financial aid I could get and how to work for it. I would also like to know if I should write all the papers needed in the GRE or I should concentrate on GRE for pychology. One of my major problems is choosing a state. My main reason for choosing the US is because of my chosen career path which is HR/personnel management. I would like to experience a wide cultural diversity.Thus I would like recommendations for schools and states that will give me the diversified experience. I would also like the appropriate season to go to the US since I'm coming from the tropics. What do I need to bring along?

I think at best I should just say I need to know EVERYTHING.
