			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello (:<br />
I am a sophomore in high school. I really want to become an emergency nurse. I am going to go to college and study to be a registered nurse. I have heard that the University of Pennsylvania has one of the best nursing programs available. I would love to attend this school, and I want to make sure the classes I&#8217;m taking in high school will help me get accepted. </p>
<p>My unweighted GPA as of right now is a 91.25. My weighted GPA is 93.75. In my school, you start with four classes in the beginning of the year and switch to new ones halfway through. I finished four of my eight classes, so I still have four more classes to finish. Therefore, my GPA is subject to change. It will definitely go up, haha. Last year, my unweighted GPA was a 95, and my weighted was 96.8750. My class rank is 21 out of 397.</p>
<p>I take all honors academics, and I&#8217;m ahead with my sciences. (I just finished chemistry honors, a course meant for juniors, while other sophomores are still in biology. I took biology honors freshman year.) I am also taking Spanish every year. Next year I am taking Anatomy and Physiology as well as Biology II Honors. During my senior year, I am taking a psychology college course that is offered through my school. I may also take AP (Advanced placement) Biology. Do you think that these classes will appeal to U Penn if I want to be a nurse? Should I take physics? I&#8217;d rather not, but if I have to, I will. What other classes should I take? What mathematics do you suggest?</p>
<p>I am also in three clubs: Leo Club, Key Club, and PALS Club. The first two are community service clubs that are nationally recognized. Do my involvement in these clubs increase my chances of getting accepted? </p>
<p>I also work at a pediatric cardiologist office. I plan on volunteering at my local hospital, as well. Will this appeal to U Penn at all, or would they not even care?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sorry this is so long, haha. But thank you for your help in advance!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am in 9th grade and I am taking all Honors classes in my school. My average is a 99.50 and I am great at Science and Math, however I got a 91 in Bio. Stanford has been my dream school forever, because I want to be a Pediatric Neurosurgeon. I am on Mock Trial, Art Club, a Russian Club, Swim Team (outside the school, I have my own coach), and in the spring I&#8217;ll be on the tennis varsity team. I didn&#8217;t start community service yet, but I will. What I want to know is the components needed to get INTO Stanford WITH a scholarship. For example, what grades do I need, what SAT scores, what attendance (I don&#8217;t have a great attendance, but I learn), what extracurricular activities, etc&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I received a response to an ad about my apartment because we&#8217;re renting an extra room:<br />
[Hi,</p>
<p>I am interested in taking up the  room you have available for rent,do get<br />
back to me if the room is still  available,I am an occupational<br />
nurse,Respectful and easy to get along with 28  yrs old female,I don't have any pet,but I<br />
am pet friendly,don't keep late nights  and am straight female with no<br />
drama,pls do get back to me if you are looking to  rent out ASAP let me know all<br />
that I needs to know about the place .I pay bills  on time too,I would have<br />
loved to call you but I just loose my phone some days  back at a grocery<br />
store so I decided to shoot you an email...I will be waiting  to read from you.</p>
<p>Thanks, God bless</p>
<p>ashley scotty]</p>
<p>I read this first message on my cell phone because I was out, and as a result I didn&#8217;t read it very carefully and initially didn&#8217;t notice that it was clearly a scam and replied back with this message:</p>
<p>[Hey! The room is definitely still available, I'm actually replying from my phone right now because I'm out. I'll try to remember to send more details tomorrow, if I forget you can give me a call (we only give the address over the phone anyway) anytime tomorrow and if you miss me I can call back. My number is XXX-XXX-XXXX.<br />
-Maggie]</p>
<p>The next day she responded with this, and upon reading this message I clearly knew what I was dealing with:<br />
[Thanks for the email again, As i have told You i'll be working  as a pediatric nurse in any hospital around and the price is okay for me.I'm in montana with my uncle because i have to take care of him but i'll be getting him the service of a nanny instead.I will want You to know that i am okay with the cost if none is included again.....You can just tell me more about You /or the people that will be living around,Because i got to believe that the person that one wants to live with matters most....I have let my uncle understand more about you and he is really comfortable with you and he said that i should not afford to loose your place also he said that we will be making payment to hold down the place and the  mode of payment will be the most acceptable,easier,safer and reliable means of payment which is a money gram money order issued in United State so pls let me know if this mode of payment is ok by you.....And if YES pls provide me with the following information to get the payment to you ASAP.Your full name as it will appear on the payment,your work place address to ensure delivery in your hands through regular mails or a courier service,your phone number on the package to avoid package missing in transit. I will prefer to send to your work address because you will always be available at work from morning till evening but if home address it will be sitting in your mail and no one will be at home to receive the payment.And if you don't receive package at your office address then I guess your home address will be good for the delivery right ? But to avoid any delay of you receiving at home then I guess work address will be fine.... what do you think ? I will like to inform you that the check will come in excess (extra) fund,this extra fund in it will be for the shipper who will perfect my shipping logistics,which implies that as soon you get the check,have it cashed kindly deduct  for any stress i might be putting you through and make the extra fund available to my shipper.I will be waiting to hear from you to commence every shipping arrangement to my new place of rent which is also your place.<br />
Kindly get back to me with the requested address contact information and recepients full names so that we can proceed asap.......</p>
<p>Thanks]</p>
<p>I did give her a name and address, the name and address of my city&#8217;s Economic Crime Dept.<br />
What I am now looking for help with is responding to her current message in which she requests that I take down the ad now, because obviously that&#8217;s not an option seeing as how I still need a real roommate, but I would like to continue stringing this person on for a bit to see how they try to work the scam and such, here&#8217;s the message I got this morning:<br />
[Hi ,</p>
<p>I am very happy for the concern,and i want to  thank you for giving me the chance,I really appreciate it. I want to let You know that I&#8217;ll make it up to You and  but will be mailing the payment  out asap ,and it will get to you soon as i will be overnighting it,Please let me know if this is okay by You. I want you to know that my furniture&#8217;s and my car will be delivered before my arrival,please do let me know if you can be there to help me receive my furniture&#8217;s and my car ,I won&#8217;t cause you any financial problem as i will be including the shipper&#8217;s fee in the payment that I&#8217;ll be sending &#8230;So you will be getting the shipper&#8217;s fee and the rent fee together ,You will just deduct your rent fee and keep the shipper&#8217;s fee till he comes to deliver my things</p>
<p>Hope you can understand me?<br />
 I really appreciate you for we&#8217;ve been so nice from the</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In general, my understanding is that overall, PPO is more expensive than HMO. People pay more to have PPO because they want the flexibility to see any doctor they want. Also, some doctors do not accept HMO. Is my understanding correct? </p>
<p>So, my preschooler needs dental treatment that&#8217;ll cost us about ,000 because it includes service fees from the anesthesiologist. My ex husband refuses to pay 50% of this cost. I told him about this two months ago when I made the appointment. He tells me this now, when my son&#8217;s appointment is next week. I had to wait 2 months for an 8:00am appointment because he cannot eat 6 hours prior to the anesthesia. For me to find another pediatric dentist and to get an early appointment will delay his treatment for another several months. A good part of his two front teeth are gone from the cavity decay. He needs treatment asap. I told my ex that we get this treatment done and he&#8217;s free to start searching for another pediatric dentist that is in network for future treatments. He says I need to find out if the current dentist is in network or not. I know she&#8217;s not but I haven&#8217;t told him. This is all under his insurance coverage but he wants me to call. If I don&#8217;t call, he said he&#8217;s going to switch to HMO. I see this as a threat. He&#8217;s always been cheap and money is more important to him than his kids&#8217; health. If he switches to HMO, then we won&#8217;t have to pay as much but our options for doctors are more limited. Btw, I have my own insurance from my work. So what he&#8217;s doing is affecting the kids health insurance. When he says he&#8217;s going to switch to HMO, is this a threat?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, I am 15 years old (female) and I&#8217;ve been seriously considering the navy straight out of high school. First of all- can you go to college DURING your term of service, or do you do your term then get the money to pay for college? Are they still doing the GI bill? Both my parents were in the military and they said the benefits are great and etc&#8230; Well I want to be a pediatric nurse when I get out. So would being a corpsman benefit me in trying to get a job as a pediatric nurse?</p>
