3 AnswersLanguages1 decade agoHow do I use a WEP key?
I was given the password and WEP key to connect to a network, but I have no idea where I am supposed to enter it in. I am using Windows Vista. How do I connect, exactly, and when will I need to put the WEP key in?
6 AnswersComputer Networking1 decade agoWould someone please tell me if my German is correct?
I'm going on a foreign exchange, so it's pretty important that I make a good first impression. This is what I wrote:
Vielen Dank für Ihren Brief! Es tut mir Leid, dass ich nicht früher geantwortet habe, aber ich habe jetzt eine neue Email-Adresse, und ich habe dieser Brief nicht erhalten.
Danke für die Information über der Schule. Meine Eltern sind sehr aufgeregt, sie zu lesen.
Ich freue mich, nach Österreich zu kommen, und ich interessiere mich, mehr für Ihren Club zu lernen. Ich weiß nicht, wann ich ankommen werde, aber ich weiß, dass ich vor dem 16. August ankommen werde.
Ich hoffe, dass mein Deutch leicht nachvollziehbar ist! Das Schrieben auf Deutsch ist für mich ein bisschen schwer.
This is what I am trying to say:
Thank you for the letter! I'm sorry that I didn't respond earlier, but I have a new email address, and I didn't receive the letter.
Thank you also for the information about the school. My parents are very excited to read it.
I am very happy to be coming to Austria, and I am interested in learning more about your club. I don't know when I will arrive, but I know that it will be before August 16th.
I hope my German is understandable! Writing in German is a little difficult for me.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!!
2 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoWhat does it mean if the root of an equation has "multiplicity one"?
The question is:
Which number is a root of f(x)=x^3+6x^2+9x has a multiplicity one?
And I've figured out that the roots are -3 and 0, but I don't know what it means to have multiplicity one.

7 AnswersDenmark1 decade agoWhere should I go, Denmark or Austria?
Those are my two options for a foreign exchange next year, and I can't make up my mind. I'd appreciate the opinion of anyone who knows about either of the two countries.
2 AnswersOther - Europe1 decade agoIf I have been learning Hochdeutsch, will I be able to understand Austrian German?
I'm planning on going on an exchange program next year. I wanted to go to Germany, but they want to send me to Austria. I've been taking German class for four years, but we only learned very formal German. Will I be able to understand Austrian German at all, or will it be essentially like learning a new language? How different are they? How similar?

I don't want to know whether you want it overturned or not; I want to know if you think it will be.
7 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoWhat kind of colleges will I be able to get into?
I'm a junior in HS.
GPA: 3.75
ACT: 32, should be able to raise it to 33
SAT: 2100
Extracurriculars: President of German Club; Member of Environmental Club, Model UN, Young Democrats, Newspaper. Not a member for all four years of high school because I went to two different schools and they offered different clubs.
Eight AP classes
Eight honors classes (separate from AP)
I've had four years of German and Spanish, and I self-taught myself a year of Spanish to enable me to skip Spanish III.
My dream schools are NYU, University of Virginia, and Georgetown; however, I'm aware that I'm probably shooting too high. What are some more realistic options? The more specific the better.

7 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoWill a Catholic high school give me a significant boost in college admissions?
The Catholic School: No AP classes, but plenty of honors. Not quite as many options.
The Public School: Tons of APs, ranked by Newsweek as one of the top high schools in the nation.
Also, if I go to the Catholic school I will have to drop one of the languages I am taking (German and Spanish) and take theology.
Normally, I would think the answer was clearly the public school. However, I hear that colleges are more likely to admit Catholic school students because the curriculum at Catholic high schools is harder. Is this true? And which should I choose?
