What are my chances of getting accepted to UVA for Early Action?
I plan on applying to UVA November 1st, and I was just wondering if anyone could guess my chances of getting accepted. I have a 4.0 cumulative GPA, am taking the most rigorous course-load possible at my school with a total of 7 AP classes, I am ranked 5th in my class, and got an 1860 on the SAT and a 650 on the Biology SAT Subject Test. As for extracurriculars, I seem to be lacking. I've held a steady job for the past four years, have accumulated around 50 hours of community service so far as an ICU volunteer at the local hospital, but have only started participating in clubs my senior year. Oh, and I'm a first generation college student. I know that my SAT score is a little low, but I'm taking it again on the 6th of next month, just in time to submit it with my application. Any ideas?

1 AnswerMathematics9 years agoDo you think my boyfriend will develop any more?
Don't get me wrong, I love my boyfriend more than anything in this entire world, we've been dating for over a year, and I suppose it wouldn't matter regardless. We're both 16 years old, and he's pretty thin and small. He's 5'6" and 112 pounds. I'm...average I guess, at 5'0" and 125. I know I'm not huge, but I feel pretty big next to him in comparison. At what age do guys stop getting taller and growing in general?

3 AnswersComics & Animation10 years agoI hurt my knee a few weeks ago. What do you think happened to it?
I was riding in a bumper car at the fair with my boyfriend two weeks ago not buckled in, and when we hit someone, I slid forward and slammed my knee HARD into this metal corner inside the car. The corner jammed into the upper outside part of my kneecap. It hurt a lot for a few days, but now it only hurts when I bend my knee, like when I try to kneel down on my calves or cross my legs. It's like a sharp pain like right under the kneecap in that spot on the upper outside. Could I have bruised a joint or something?

7 AnswersDiet & Fitness10 years agoSpotting on birth control?
My doctor prescribed Othro Tri-Cyclen, but the pharmacy gave me the generic Tri-Sprintec. I started taking it on the Sunday after my period started, on the 3rd day of my period. I've never been on birth control before, but after my period ended, I kept spotting brown-black chunky blood ever since. I'm now half-way through the second week, and I'm still spotting heavy enough to use two pantyliners a day. When will it stop? It's really hurting my sex life.
2 AnswersWomen's Health10 years agoSpotting on the birth control pill Tri-Sprintec?
I have awful acne, and I'll be starting Accutane next month. Before I can begin taking it, I have to be on birth control for one month. My doctor prescribed Othro Tri-Cyclen, but the pharmacy gave me the generic Tri-Sprintec. I started taking it on the Sunday after my period started, on the 3rd day of my period. I've never been on birth control before, but after my period ended, I kept spotting brown-black chunky blood ever since. I'm now half-way through the second week, and I'm still spotting heavy enough to use two pantyliners a day. When will it stop? It's really hurting my sex life. Not to mention, this pill has been making me break out very badly.
6 AnswersWomen's Health10 years agoHow much weight can I be expected to gain from starting birth control?
I will be starting the birth control pill Tri-Sprintec, the generic version of Ortho Tri-Cyclen this Sunday. I've never taken any birth control before. I'm 16 years old, a little under 5'1", and slightly chubby at 125. Can I be expected to gain a lot of weight, like over 10 pounds? I'm going to clean up my diet and try to exercise; will this offset the effects since my diet is poor and I don't exercise currently?

3 AnswersDecorating & Remodeling10 years agoI've been having this weird discharge and smell?
The past couple days I've been having this really weird smell down there. It's not fishy, so I'm pretty sure I don't have Bacterial Vaginosis. It's metallic at times, but other times its just foul and indescribable. The discharge hasn't changed in color; it's still clear. It's just been really watery lately, and randomly a lot of it will come out. It sort of feels like I've gotten my period. There's been no itching, burning, or anything like that. What could be wrong with me? Is it some sort of bacterial infection?

2 AnswersWomen's Health10 years agoMy brand new Toshiba laptop won't connect to my wireless network?
My laptop, just out of the box, won't connect to my wireless network. The router and modem are working fine, because I'm on an old laptop right now. It detects the network, and I try to connect, typing in the security key correctly, but it just says it's unable to connect. It also says something about not having a wireless adaptor. I've tried troubleshooting, but it can't fix the problem. What should I do?
2 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks1 decade agoIs the shape of my vagina normal?
I had sexual intercourse today, and my boyfriend and I were discussing it later on. We're relatively new to this, so bear with me...he told me that my vagina was tighter at the front and once he reaches the back, it's wider to the point where he can wiggle his penis slightly. He said it wasn't a problem or anything, but is this normal?

In my English class, we had to write children's stories for the Elementary School next door. In the back of the book, we were told to write 5 reading comprehension questions for them to answer on our books. One was to be on predicting, one on inferring, questioning, evaluating, and the last clarification. I'm not sure what she meant by a "questioning" question. Could anyone clarify?
2 AnswersHomework Help1 decade agoWhat kind of sickness do I have?
I've had a fever since Tuesday of about 101. My highest was 101.8. Ibuprofen seems to bring it down some. I've had a killer cough which has started to become all mucus-y. I've been extremely sore and exhausted to the point of needing to stay in bed for a few days. My nose was fine at first, but now I'm congested and what-not. I don't have a sore throat, but it's starting to hurt mildly from violently coughing. Could I have the flu?

My throat hurts very bad, and I have trouble swallowing. I didn't have a fever when I checked this morning, but now I have a slight one at 99.8. I don't have a cough. My nose is running a tiny bit, but not enough for me to even notice. Do I just have a cold, or could it be Strep?
